Photos from the early years of Robbies career are being shown from today (27.06.2006) at the Berlin Rock Phot Gallery. The photographs were taken by Fryderyk Gabowicz (59, who grew up in Israel. The exhibition is a selection from the newly released «Robbie Williams: Live - Backstage - Studio: 1993-1999», published by Schwarzkopf & Schwarzkopf, which contains round 150 images of the superstar. The show opened yesterday evening with vernissage, which drew a large crowd.

Talking about his first photo session with Robbie in January 1993, Gabowicz: "Even then he had that extra something which separated him from the crowd. Charisma. Despite his early fame he didn't have airs and graces of a star." Between 1993 and 1998, the former star photograph of the 'Bravo'(leading German teenage magazine) met Robbie eight times by concerts in Germany, UK and Ireland. As wellas Robbie, Gabowicz has photographed among others Michael Jackson, die Rolling Stones, Madonna, The Cure und Billy Idol.
