Aladdin Sane contact sheet - apart from the Kodak Ektachrome colourfilm, Duffy also shot two rolls of black and white film. This contact sheet was put together by Duffy's son Chris and includes the original colour album cover image.
The Duffy archive say, “David Bowie's album "Aladdin Sane" was released in 1973 and marked a pivotal moment in the history of glam rock where Bowie continued to push boundaries with his unique blend of rock, pop, and theatricality. This year celebrates 50 years since the album release and continues to inspire new generations of musicians and fans.
Aladdin Sane was the second of five sessions that Duffy shot with David and the first of three album covers. The album's title ‘A Lad Insane’ was interpreted by Duffy as ‘Aladdin Sane’ and Duffy drew the lightning bolt across Bowie’s face for the makeup artist Pierre LaRoche to ‘fill it in. This has become the one image that has defined Bowie’s career.Today, ‘Aladdin Sane’ is regarded as a cultural icon and held in the permanent collections of the V&A, the National Portrait Gallery and MOMA in New York amongst others.”

A traditional C-type print is a colour print made in a darkroom from a colour negative or transparency. It is produced on light sensitive paper using a chromogenic process. Before digital technology, these were the prints we all received from the pharmacies from our holiday films. C-type prints are archival and are still preferred by some photographers and collectors to digital art prints.
