david bowie “pin ups” – the story behind the cover
“I remember distinctly that I’d got it with the first shot. It was too good to be true. When I showed Bowie the test Polaroids, he asked if he could use it for the Pin Ups record sleeve.
I said: “I don’t think so, since this is for Vogue. How many albums do you think you will sell?”
“A million,” he replied.
“This is your next album cover!” I said.
When I got back to London and told Vogue, they never spoke to me again. Several weeks later, Twigs and I were driving along Sunset Boulevard and we passed a 60ft billboard of the picture. I knew I had made the right decision.”
Justin de villeneuve on the picture he made that ended up being the cover of bowie’s “pin ups”. the entire story here by pp+tg.
