DAVID BOWIE - ORIGINAL PHOTO PRINT.

An original A3 photo print (16.5x12") depicting David Bowie onstage at Milton Keynes Bowl during the Serious Moonlight tour, 2nd July 1983. Image by Virginia Turbett and signed to reverse by the photographer.

Virginia Turbett’s first photo assignment was in June 1977 photographing the Sex Pistols recording the Pretty Vacant Video.

She spent the next ten years photographing for Sounds, Smash Hits, The Face, New Sounds New Styles, Flexipop and Record Mirror : the music, the fans and fashion of the punk, heavy metal, mod, new romantic, reggae, 2-tone and electro pop scenes.

Her work took her all over the world photographing features on hundreds of bands and solo artists including The Clash, Blondie, Iggy Pop, Prince, The Jam, U2, Andy Warhol, Frank Zappa, Nick Cave, Depeche Mode, Madness, David Bowie and Duran Duran.

Virginia’s music, youth culture and social history photographs have been used to illustrate many thousands of magazines, books and are frequently used in documentaries and films.

Virginia has not made a handmade, darkroom, print since 1995. All prints made since then are digitally scanned at 3200 dpi from the original negative and printed on Canon Paper with Canon inks except for prints over A3+ size which are printed using silver gelatin process by Harman Lab.
