Duran Duran Rio, London, 1983

from £2,200.00

Rob Warr of EMI saw the Bow Wow Wow picture and asked, ‘See what you can make of this bunch of lads from Birmingham?’ We started in Milton Keynes, where the new shopping centre had Palm trees, and there is now a ’blue plaque’ celebrating Duran's first shoot. This was my second job, ‘Simon le Bon’ was a shot from the Rio album; the boys wanted colourful nighttime reflections on the River to hint at Rio. I opted for a city rooftop with a 30-second exposure and a kick of the tripod to give an electronic buzz that reflected their music.
