Bob Marley and the Golden Age of Reggae (Titan Books)
A launch party for the new photo book by Kim Gottlieb-Walker! The photographer will discuss and sign her book of rare and never-before-seen photos of Bob Marley and other reggae musicians and producers.
Kim Gottlieb-Walker’s incredibly varied career
has covered everything from classic rock and roll, reggae and politics
in the 60’s and 70’s to working on major motion pictures and television
shows. While still at UCLA (where she
received a BA in Motion Picture production) and shortly thereafter, she
shot for underground LA newspapers and magazines like Crawdaddy and
Music World. Her classic portrait of Jimi Hendrix was shot when she was
only 20 and her High Times cover of Bob Marley remains their most
popular cover ever. She also shot the stills for John Carpenter’s Halloween, The Fog, Christine and Escape from New York and worked
at Paramount for nine years as the production photographer for Cheers
and five years for Family Ties.
In
1975 and 1976 she covered Bob Marley both in California (behind the
scenes, in interviews and performances) and at his home in Jamaica as
well as traveling all over Jamaica to document reggae musicians and
producers. Those rarely and never-before-seen photos appear in her new
book Bob Marley and the Golden Age of Reggae which includes commentary
by writer/director Cameron Crowe, her husband Jeff Walker (who was the
national director of publicity for Island Records in the USA in the
'70s) and reggae historian Roger Steffens.
She
has served as one of the elected representatives for still
photographers on the National Executive Board of IATSE Local 600, the
International Cinematographers Guild for over two decades.
