Official photographer to music legend David Bowie, Denis O’Regan presents a personal edit from his unrivalled collection of photographs. Accompanying Bowie on two world tours and enjoying a decades-long relationship with the star, no one photographed Bowie more than Denis O’Regan. As Bowie himself once remarked, ‘Denis, Rock ‘n’ Roll is in your blood’. From the door of Olympic Studios, where Bowie recorded Diamond Dogs in 1974, to live stadium shows in the 1990s, Denis’s full archive is at last opened and many unseen images revealed for the first time. David Bowie by Denis O’Regan tells Bowie’s musical story in pictures, with O’Regan’s own words relaying his experience of documenting that incredible journey. Author of the hugely successful Ricochet: David Bowie 1983 (Particular Books, 2018), O’Regan has toured with the biggest stars from The Rolling Stones and Queen to Pink Floyd and Duran Duran, to name a few. But it is his photographs of David Bowie, taken over two decades at over 200 concerts worldwide, that he is best known for. David Bowie the showman and David behind-the scenes, O’Regan has captured it all in this showcase of one of the world’s most talented performers.

Watch Spotting: The Collectors
Rhonda Riche
The intricate mechanics, precision and artistry behind high-end watches have long been appreciated by collectors, but in more recent times watches have become cultural icons. Symbolizing luxury, wealth and success, timepieces now play a key role in pop culture with celebrities like Pharrell Williams and Rihanna elevating watches through endorsements, and rappers like Jay-Z and Drake flaunting high-end watches such as Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet and Rolex in their lyrics and public appearances, turning them into status symbols. Through the collections of 30 celebrities, chosen by Torontobased watch writer Rhonda Riche, Watch Spotting: The Collectors sets out to illustrate what makes watch collecting so compelling and why timepieces have come to symbolize more than just timekeeping. With its marriage to pop culture, watch collecting has brought timepieces into mainstream consciousness in a fresh and bold way, making these wearable works of art more popular than ever.

Blondie in Camera 1978
By (photographer) Martyn Goddard, Contributions by Debbie Harry
Blondie in Camera 1978 is richly illustrated with photographer Martyn Goddard’s most famous images of Blondie. Taken during their breakthrough year, these pictures have graced magazines, newspapers, promotional campaigns, posters and even the ‘Picture This’ single cover and the Best of Blondie album cover. Blondie’s rise to the mainstream surface punctuated the late ’70s with a raft of unforgettable New Wave hits. The genre-mashing classic ‘Heart of Glass’ along with the likes of ‘Hanging on a Telephone’ and ‘Picture This’ were as zesty and fresh-faced as the young band members, who soon found superstardom as their singles landed and the strength of their attitude began to resonate. When Goddard traveled to New York in ’78 with an assignment to photograph lead-singer Debbie Harry, he couldn’t have imagined that Blondie’s songs and his images would soon become permanent fixtures on the cultural landscape. This is the ultimate treasure trove for fans of one of the world’s biggest bands.

Back in Ibiza 1998-2003
By (photographer) Dean Chalkley
“Blondie in Camera 1978” beautifully presents the most celebrated photos of the late 1970s’ biggest breakthrough band.
Dean Chalkley has been taking compelling cultural photographs since the mid 1990s. At the tail end of the ’90s, Chalkley found himself in Ibiza, the capital of the clubbing world. For many, the turn of the millennium represents the peak of club life, when clubbers would lose themselves for days in the often-surreal abandon of their favorite Spanish party haven.
Working for Mixmag, the biggest dance-music magazine in the world, Chalkley amassed a vast archive of images. “Back in Ibiza 1998 – 2003” offers a thrilling deep-dive through those images, illustrating the unfiltered and sometimes unhinged club scene from a world before Snapchat and TikTok reels. This collection is essential viewing for partygoers and clubbing fans, a joy to behold, and a nostalgic reminder of what a real party can look like.
Back in Ibiza 1998 – 2003 is photographer Dean Chalkley’s epic collection of club images from the peak of Ibiza’s glory days.

Hannah Martin: Iconoclast A Jewellery Rebellion
By Tina Isaac-Goize
Independent jeweller Hannah Martin has earned a reputation for fearless creativity and design coupled with impeccable execution. Often referred to as ‘a Suzanne Belperron for the modern age’, her mastery of every step of the art of jewellery making from conception and design to craftsmanship is unparalleled. Central Saint Martins-trained, she honed her skill high above the Place Vendome in the jewellery studios of Cartier. Fascinated by gender fluidity from the start, she struck out on her own in 2005 and founded Hannah Martin London with little more than fierce determination and the goal of making ‘beautiful jewellery for men that their girlfriends want to wear’, unheard of at the time in an industry that remains, even today, stubbornly rooted in traditional notions of gender.
Hannah Martin: Iconoclast – A Jewellery Rebellion explores Hannah’s body of work, her inspirations and influences over the course of her career from her days at Central Saint Martins to today. It is a deeply personal account of her journey in an industry that leaves little room for individuality.
9781788843287
After 20 years in the industry, Hannah remains every bit the iconoclast, an outlier guided by the same instincts, values and fierce independence that set her apart from the start.
