In 1972, David Bowie released his groundbreaking album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. With it, Bowie's Stardust alter ego was born: a glitter-clad, mascara-eyed, sexually ambiguous persona who shattered gender norms and artistic boundaries. This transformation propelled the softly spoken Londoner into global stardom.

A key figure in this meteoric rise was fellow Londoner and photographer Mick Rock. Bonding with Bowie both artistically and personally, Rock immersed himself in the singer’s inner circle and worked as his photographer and videographer between 1972 and 1973. Made with Bowie’s endorsement, this volume draws readers into the dazzling world of Ziggy Stardust.

This collection, featuring around 50 percent previously unpublished images, brings together spectacular stage shots, iconic photo shoots, and intimate backstage portraits.
