Rare Photos of David Bowie in Australia

Posted

A series of rare candid photos of David Bowie in Australia by photographer Denis O'Regan.

The photos were taken in 1983 during the Serious Moonlight tour of Australia and have never been seen by the public before. 

As part of a limited edition memorabilia box set, a collaborative project between Bowie and O'Regan, these images along with close to 300 others in a book called Richochet: David Bowie 1983 also includes handwritten lyrics and signed prints, limited to just 2,000 copies and only available via www.bowie1983book.com in May 2018. 

A small selection of images has been published online, all taken by Denis O'Regan

He has said of the project; 

"I published a book with David in 1984 for which he wrote the introduction. We then discussed projects on and off over the next 30 years, culminating in discussions about a pair of substantial books looking back at the two world tours that I covered with him.

"I feel this book documenting 1983 will fulfil my dream of sharing these intimate photographs with collectors and fans, whilst revealing an insight into the real David - as much as anyone can. I am proud and honoured that the book was made with his support and I hope it will do him justice."
