Born in London and educated at Cambridge, Mick Rock graduated to rock photography through his association with Syd Barrett but is best known for capturing iconic images of David Bowie, Lou Reed and Iggy Pop during the 1970s. He has been a video director, art director, writer and photo-collagiste. A resident of New York since the early 1980s, his 'lust for the image' burns as strong as ever.
