David Bowie, Aladdin Sane - This iconic album cover image was taken in Duffy’s London studios in 1973 and was the second of five sessions Duffy shot with David. This photo has been the one image that has defined David’s career and is nicknamed the ‘Mona Lisa of Pop’. The teardrop on David’s collarbone was airbrushed in by Philip Castle. The makeup artist was Pierre La Roche. -
