Mick Rock, famed music photographer and ‘man who shot the 70s’, dies aged 72

The music photographer Mick Rock – official photographer to David Bowie and “the man who shot the 70s” – has died aged 72.

The news was confirmed by his representative in a statement that described Rock as a “photographic poet” and “a true force of nature who spent his days doing exactly what he loved, always in his own delightfully outrageous way”.

Rock created the abiding images of Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust era, shot the cover for his 1973 album Pinups and directed videos for Space Odyssey, Life on Mars, Jean Genie and John, I’m Only Dancing.

The pianist Mike Garson, a longtime collaborator with Bowie, called Rock “one of a kind, with such an eye for aesthetics and seizing the right moments … Mick gave so much to this planet and he adored David”.

Sharon Osborne – whose husband Ozzy was shot by Rock – and British music photographer Kevin Cummins were also among those to pay tribute.

Rock also created iconic album artwork for artists including Lou Reed (Transformer, Coney Island Baby), the Stooges (Raw Power), the Ramones (End of the Century), Joan Jett (I Love Rock’n’Roll) and Queen’s Queen II, an image that the group repurposed for the video of Bohemian Rhapsody as well as their album Sheer Heart Attack.

He continued to shoot throughout his life, later producing album artwork for Atlas Sound (Parallax), Black Lips (Underneath the Rainbow) and Miley Cyrus (Plastic Hearts).

Rock also worked in film, shooting production stills for cult musicals The Rocky Horror Picture Show and the John Cameron Mitchell films Hedwig and the Angry Inch and Shortbus.

Michael David Rock was born in 1948 in Hammersmith. He studied medieval and modern languages at Cambridge and made headlines when he was arrested for marijuana possession at university. He first picked up a camera during an acid trip, although later discovered there was no film in it.

It was at Cambridge that Rock started shooting the local music scene, befriending the local musician Syd Barrett – for whose debut solo album, The Madcap Laughs, he shot the artwork – and Mick Jagger’s younger brother, Chris.

Rock met Bowie backstage at Birmingham Town Hall in the middle of the Ziggy Stardust tour, when the musician was still a cult act. He credited a shot of Bowie simulating oral sex on Mick Ronson’s guitar as launching both of their careers.

“The guitar fellatio shot with Mick Ronson was an image that really got around, especially when it got to America,” Rock said. “And David would talk about being bisexual and would put on lipstick and drive people crazy. Mick wasn’t gay and the photo isn’t meant to suggest they had a thing, David was just trying to bite Mick’s guitar. For the first time people started to ask, ‘Who took this picture?’”

It was Bowie who introduced him to Lou Reed and Iggy Pop, leading to connections with the wider 70s rock scene including Debbie Harry and Andy Warhol – whom he once photographed alongside Truman Capote dressed in a Santa outfit.

Reed showed Rock New York’s gay underground. “I was fascinated,” said Rock. “We were upsetting the straight society, and just having fun. When I got to New York it was like Sodom and Gomorrah gone berserk! London was naughty, but nothing like New York.”

Rock’s process was “more of an intuitive thing rather than a heavily pre-designed thing”, he told the BBC. “I am in the business of evoking the aura of the people and photographing.

“I’m not necessarily looking for a literal reality, I’m looking for something that’s got a bit of magic to it, and quite where that comes from or when that moment is you can’t prescribe.”

He representatives’ statement said: “The stars seemed to effortlessly align for Mick when he was behind the camera. Feeding off of the unique charisma of his subjects electrified and energised him … A man fascinated with image, he absorbed visual beings through his lens and immersed himself in their art, thus creating some of the most magnificent photographs rock music has ever seen.”

In the mid-90s, Rock said he almost died following two decades of substance abuse – he called himself a “compulsive experimenter” – undergoing a quadruple heart bypass that he said was paid for by Rolling Stones managers Allen Klein and Andrew Loog Oldham. He also received a kidney transplant.

“I was broke, and being broke is not fun, especially with a serious cocaine habit,” he said. “I had the IRS up my ass, I had a child, I owned nothing, I was in debt and I got a messy reputation because of my habit. The quality of my photography didn’t suffer, but I became less and less reliable in terms of meetings and delivery times. Eventually, the phone stopped ringing.”

He credited yoga, massage and meditation with helping his rehabilitation, as well as never having touched heroin or alcohol. By the 2000s, classic rock photography had taken on a huge cultural appeal, regularly producing exhibitions and books. Renewed interest in Rock’s work gave the photographer a fresh start, shooting the likes of Kate Moss, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Pharrell.

Rock published several books collecting his most famous photographs and hosted the documentary series On the Record With Mick Rock, in which he met musicians such as Kings of Leon and Patti LaBelle and toured their home towns.

Rock lived in New York City on Staten Island with his wife Pati and daughter Nathalie.

He recently said that he had been “offered millions” for his archives, to which he retained copyright. “So why not cash in and do a Bob Dylan?” he said. “Well, if it was worth that much I might be tempted, because that’s just unbelievable. I have thought about it but it’s not going to happen right now. When it does I plan to leave some to the yogis and some to my college, because that’s where I learned all my mischief.”

Asia shares rally on U.S. jobs relief, sterling slugged by politics

SYDNEY (Reuters) – Asian share markets rallied on Monday as favorable U.S. jobs data whetted risk appetites, while sterling slipped after two members of the British government resigned over Brexit and put the future of Prime Minister Theresa May in doubt.

The pound peeled off around a third of a U.S. cent to $1.3290 GBP=D3 as news broke British Brexit Secretary David Davis and Brexit Minister Steven Baker had resigned.

The loss came just two days after a meeting at May’s Chequers country residence supposedly sealed a cabinet deal on Brexit and underlines the deep divisions in her ruling Conservative Party over the departure from the EU.

“The outlook for the pound had brightened in recent weeks,” said Westpac senior currency analyst Sean Callow, seeing a chance this could turn out positive for the currency.

“If the U.K. government presses ahead with this plan despite the unexpected resignation of “hard Brexit” officials and with the US dollar losing momentum, sterling should be able make a run at $1.35 multi-day.”

Sentiment in other markets was mostly positive after Friday’s U.S. payrolls report showed tame wages and more people looking for work.

“The combination of rising employment and increased labor force participation suggests healthy but not tightening labor market conditions in June, something that will allow the Fed to continue to hike rates at a gradual pace,” said Kevin Cummins, a senior U.S. economist at RBS.

The balanced report helped Wall Street end last week in the black and Japan’s Nikkei .N225 followed up with gains of 1.4 percent on Monday.

MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan .MIAPJ0000PUS climbed 1.1 percent, on top of 0.7 percent rally on Friday when the launch of U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports came and went without too many fireworks.

NOT THAT BAD

“While trade tensions fan concerns about the future, incoming data show a soaring U.S. economy, a healthy labor market, and some rebound in Europe and Japan,” said Barclays economist Michael Gapen.

“For now, overall policies and financial conditions still support growth and investment,” he added. “A sharper-than-expected China slowdown from a domestic credit crunch and external trade tensions could be the main risk to global growth.”

Chinese shares were attempting to rally on Monday with the Shangahi blue chip index .CSI300 up 1.9 percent after hitting its lowest in almost 18 months last week.

China’s securities regulator said on Sunday it plans to ease restrictions on foreign investment in stock listed on the Shanghai or Shenzhen exchanges to attract more foreign capital and support the economy.

The focus this week would be on Chinese data for June covering inflation, new loans and international trade. The United States also releases inflation figures, while the Bank of Canada might well hike rates on Wednesday.

In currency markets, the U.S. dollar was mostly softer following the jobs report, with sterling being an exception.

Against a basket of currencies the dollar had pulled back to 93.937 .DXY, from a top of 94.486 on Friday. The euro held its gains at $1.1760 EUR=, while the dollar was flat on the yen at 110.45.

In commodity markets, oil prices pushed higher as the dollar eased. U.S. crude futures CLc1 gained 26 cents to $74.06 a barrel, while Brent LCOc1 rose 30 cents to $77.42 a barrel.

Gold was 0.3 percent firmer at $1,258.40 an ounce XAU=.
