Terry O'Neill photographs David Bowie in Los Angeles, circa 1974. Mustard yellow suit, dyed red hair, a cigarette at the lip and scissors held loose in his hands — Bowie at his most theatrically unsettling, shot during the Diamond Dogs era. O'Neill frames him front-on, direct and unblinking. It's a portrait that holds two things at once: the artifice of one of rock's great reinventors, and something genuinely unpredictable behind the eyes.
