More information

"A few days before the show at Radio City Music Hall, Bowie did a photo session, a rehearsal and an interview at RCA Studio. He went on to do another rehearsal at Radio City Music Hall. Yacco-San was working as the stylist, running here and there with costumes by Kansai Yamamoto that shed brought over from Japan. 'They looked marvelous'." Masayoshi Sukita. 

Masayoshi Sukita föddes långt från de glamorösa sammanhang med internationella celebriteter som skulle bli naturliga inslag i hans yrkesliv. Han föddes i en gruvort i trettiotalets Japan där intresset för fotografi uppstod ur ett passionerat förhållande till amerikansk film. Därtill var hans far, som dog under Sukitas barndom, en hängiven hobbyfotograf. Med filmen, gärna med favoriterna Marlon Brando och James Dean, väcktes också intresset för musik och under sin karriär har Sukita, utöver David Bowie, fotograferat legender som Jimi Hendrix och Marc Bolan.
