David Bowie Like You’ve Never Seen Him BeforeBetween 1991 and his death in 2016, the enigmatic icon posed regularly for his friend Frank Ockenfels 3. An exclusive portfolio and signing of the photographer's new book, "Collaboration"For over three decades, Frank Ockenfels 3 has been the eye behind some of the most recognizable faces and campaigns across film, television, music, and editorial. This Lecture + Libations session pulls back the curtain on how those images get made. Relying on instinct, access, and creative trust. The philosophy: less polish, more truth. Inside an unconventional process and honest perspective on why over-conceptualizing can kill authenticity. How staying adaptable has kept his work relevant across decades. Part lecture, part conversation. Expect a director’s cut focused visual presentation, candid storytelling, and a Q&amp;A that opens up the real mechanics behind culturally defining creative work. Followed by informal social moments designed for connection. The Art of Capturing Iconic Talent Frank will break down his approach to photographing everyone from David Bowie to Barack Obama. How to disarm, direct, and capture something real in a controlled and unexpected environment. Hollywood’s Visual Language A deep dive into the creative behind campaigns for defining series like Mad Men, Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead, The Bear, The Last of Us and American Horror Story. How key art and photography shape audience perception before a single episode airs. Portraits &amp; Movie Posters That Defined Eras From global franchises like Harry Potter and Thor to cult-classic visuals like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Sinners, Frank unpacks the tension between commerce and art. Music, Identity, and Image-Making Stories behind photographing and shaping the visual identity of artists like David Bowie, Nirvana, Bruce Springsteen, No Doubt, Nas, and Lorde. What it takes to create imagery that lasts beyond the album life cycle. 📍Location: Exact address shared in the confirmation email Ideas worth sipping on 🤓<a href="https://www.artcrush.la" title="https://www.artcrush.la" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">www.artcrush.la</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/crushartla/?hl=en" title="https://www.instagram.com/crushartla/?hl=en" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">@crushartla</a> Agenda7:00 PM – Doors open: arrive early to find a seat &amp; grab a drink7:25 PM – Host introduction7:30 PM – Lecture begins8:10 PM – Audience Q&amp;A8:30 PM – Mingle with the speaker &amp; fellow guests.
