It’s so great to see the love affair a great photographer has with light

[@andrefelixstudio2833]

I have always enjoyed viewing Greg Gorman’s work he is very creative and inventive I have also had the pleasure of meeting him in person very nice man !

[@rafibenatar2519]

Great demonstration of simple lighting 👏👏👏👏👍🏻

[@idrismansoor7993]

Love love love this.

[@gregstevenson7401]

I always thought that was a tear on Bowies face to signify a past event rather than the present. How the simple becomes the extraordinary...

Loved his cameo appearance in the movie Pecker. Mr. Gorman's work is amazing.

[@WickBeavers]

If you can do a 5 day with Greg, it’s worth it- he’s a great teacher.

You could have replicated the Arri Daylight HMI with strobe back then when you used it and have shot at higher shutter speeds!

Fascinating - more of the same please Jessops

I would of had David Bowie holding the guitar more naturally. His left hand on the fret board as he played it right handed. The guitar is strung right handed. Gibson SG.

[@Sommerlath2006]

I’m sure the photography master will thank you for your input, Michael.

[@joelk8228]

Your model is handling rge guitar like a left handed player. The guitar is right handed and the strings on this photo are upside down.

[@Tom_YouTube_stole_my_handle]

But he's only holding the guitar rather than playing it. I get that this can bother guitar players a little but what if he'd been holding it upside down, that's clearly not how you play it?
