Sad to learn of the passing of American photographer, Joe Stevens, who died on Tuesday.
Fans of a certain vintage will remember well Joe’s images which graced the pages of NME in the seventies, including several front covers.
We’ve selected a few random 1973/1974 images from Joe’s vast Bowie collection which you can find here on Instagram.
We’ll leave you with a bit from an interview with Joe following David’s death in 2016...

“Of all the big shots I’ve known – the lead singers, front men, pop stars, the people that call the shots … he was my best friend. I loved David. He was so special. I’m still mourning. Getting the photos together for this show makes me so sad. It hurts to think that I can’t walk around New York City and bump into him anymore …”

Our thoughts are with his friends and family.
