Acclaimed photographer, Markus Klinko is selling his ENTIRE archive of photographs, featuring everybody from David Bowie, Lady Gaga and Billie Eilish to Beyonce and Kate Winslet, to raise funds for NHS Charities Together, as part of Taglialatella Galleries’ Art for Relief campaign from 16 – 22 April.
Klinko famously shot David Bowie’s last, large-scale shoot before his passing. It took place just after 9/11 – which was less than a mile from the photographer’s studio – and Klinko notes that there was a striking similarity in mood and outlook at that time, to the current atmosphere, during the COVID-19 crisis.
That has inspired the photographer to donate a special, black and white edition of 12 photographs entitled “Smoking,” featuring the late singer gazing up moodily, with a cigarette between his fingers. Each edition is priced at a more affordable £1,500.
Klinko has photographed the likes of Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Mariah Carey, Kanye West and Naomi Campbell. His editorial clients include Vogue, GQ, Vanity Fair, and Harper’s Bazaar. Brands such as Lancôme, L’Oréal Paris, Nike, Hugo Boss and Remy
Martin have hired Klinko to create advertising campaigns. His campaign for Keep A Child Alive raised more than $1 million for children with AIDS in just a few days.
