Template:Multiple issues Mick Rock (born 1948 in London, England) is a British photographer best known for his iconic shots of rock and roll legends such as Queen, David Bowie, Syd Barrett, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop and The Stooges, The Sex Pistols, The Ramones, Joan Jett, Talking Heads, Roxy Music, Crossfade, Thin Lizzy, Mötley Crüe, and Blondie. Often referred to as "The Man Who Shot the Seventies", most of the memorable images of David Bowie as Ziggy Stardust were shot by Rock, in his capacity as Bowie's official photographer.Currently living in New York City with his wife, Pati, and their daughter, Nathalie, Rock has been showcasing his work in a series of exhibitions.
[at the death of Lou Reed] I first met him at the King's Cross Cinema in London in July 1972. He looked beautiful. I wanted to totally absorb his visual being through my lens. To suck on his aura. To immerse myself in his art. And I loved it. Thus began our friendship..weathering the slings and arrows and the outrageous antics of that crazed decade, the '70s, and beyond. He was a true gladiator, a fearless warrior and also a man of extreme kindness and compassion. If he was your friend in the fullest sense, he was your friend forever. He had a singing soul.
