Photographer Markus Klinko's portrait of singer David Bowie,"Rhythm Roulette" is part of a new exhibition of Klinko's portraits on Friday at Markowicz Fine Art.was in Dallas, he was practicing his art with a harp and a symphony. Now he seeks it out with a camera and studio lighting — and he's pursuing some of the most famous artists in the world.
"Most of the work you see is by assignment, where record labels and magazines hire me to shoot these projects," Klinko says."However, in the last six or seven years, I've been more focused on my art career. I've been working with 50 galleries all over the world. It's an exciting aspect of my career, so I have my own ability to create my own assignment."
"Dallas has become such a big city," Klinko says."When I was living there, it was more intimate. There was a nightclub called Sam Simeon and I would go a couple of times a week and people would come up to me because they knew I was the harpist."
