During his rich and varied career, he has toured the world as official photographer to Neil Diamond, Rolling Stones and Queen.
But it was for the stunning visuals harnessed as David Bowie's official photographer that a sell-out crowd came to Milton Keynes last week.
Denis was the official photographer on Bowie's Serious Moonlight, Glass Spider and Sound and Vision tours, allowing him unique access to one of modern music's real true icons.
'David & I' gave fans an opportunity to enjoy many never-before-seen photographs, and to view the rarities in a contemporary setting.
Off Beat Lounge – specialists in rare limited edition music related photography and art – collaborated with Denis to bring the 40 stunning images to venues country-wide.
In Milton Keynes, Bowie fans flocked to the Lancaster MINI Showroom for the one-night only event – a teaming of two classy, unique names, in music and motoring.

The show was a beautiful collection of moments from a truly unique artist, and as ticket-holders enjoyed the work, an endless stream of Bowie's brilliant songs filled the exhibition space, making for the perfect fusion of Sound and Vision...
