This is one of the saddest posts to write. Finbar Sullivan, 21, was murdered for his camera whilst filming in Primrose Hill, London, on Tuesday. His parents, Chris and Leah have been longtime friends of mine. I took this picture of Chris & Finbar together in Shoreditch in 2008. Finbar was such a lovely young man, this is a tragedy that should never have happened. Finbar had his whole life in front of him, I am devastated for Chris, Leah and the family’s loss and Sandie and I send our sincere condolences to his family and friends.
Airbrush artist and illustrator Philip Castle died on February 20th. His obituary can be read on The Guardian website.⁠

In 1973, Duffy shot his second Pirelli calendar, which was airbrushed by Philip Castle. This collaboration led to Philip working on the cover for David Bowie's Aladdin Sane album. He graciously gave an interview to the archive in 2017, during which this photo was taken. In 2023, he attended the opening of the "Aladdin Sane" exhibition in London with his wife, Jennifer. ⁠

We will remember Philip as a hugely talented and charming individual, and we extend our condolences to his family and friends. ⁠

This week in 1976, the film The Man Who Fell to Earth was released. Over the last half-century, this film starring David Bowie has become a cult classic.⁠
During the period that Bowie was filming, he agreed to do a shoot with Duffy at White Sands, New Mexico, which was several hour’s drive from the set. Bowie arrived with Geoff MacCormack one late afternoon as the sun was setting.⁠
Duffy clicked off a few quick shots, and more images from this session can be found on the Duffy Archive website.⁠

Prints are available to purchase from the archive.⁠
