Michael Edward Chester Smith (22 November 1948 – 18 November 2021)

“Mick Rock” photographed rock music acts such as Queen, David Bowie, T. Rex, Syd Barrett, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop and the Stooges, The Sex Pistols, Ozzy Osbourne, The Ramones, Joan Jett, Talking Heads, Roxy Music, Thin Lizzy, Geordies, Blondie....

Often referred to as "The Man Who Shot the Seventies", most of the memorable shots of Bowie as Ziggy Stardust shot by Rock in his capacity as Bowie's official photographer.

Mick also went on to work with ‘modern’ artists like Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, Snoop Dogg and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs...

“You were one of a kind with such an eye for aesthetics and seizing the right moments”.

Rest in power!
