Established photographer Denis O'Regan has worked with some of the biggest names in music, including Queen, David Bowie, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Duran Duran, KISS and many more. His renowned images span multiple genres, including Punk, New Romanticism, and Grunge, and have been widely published in several books and exhibited worldwide.

As a child, O'Regan witnessed The Beatles at London's Hammersmith Odeon, and as a teenager, he saw David Bowie's penultimate Ziggy Stardust show. A decade later, he returned as Bowie's official photographer on the Serious Moonlight world tour and would go on to photograph the musician more than any other photographer. O'Regan also became the tour photographer for Queen, Pink Floyd, KISS, and Duran Duran.

Other highlights in his career include covering the only Rolling Stones European tour of the decade in 1982, flying into Knebworth alongside Queen's helicopter for Freddie Mercury's last performance in 1986, photographing David Bowie by the Berlin Wall in 1987, and covering Pink Floyd's final tour in 1994.

O'Regan's Ricochet: David Bowie 1983: An Intimate Portrait box set is held in the V&A Permanent Collection, and in 2022, he was appointed the Royal Albert Hall's first Artist in Residence. His book, David Bowie by Denis O'Regan, was released in September 2025.
