Debut Author Podcast: Kim Gottlieb-Walker

Kim Gottlieb-Walker’s fifty-year career as a photographer covered a wide range of subjects, from classic rock and roll, reggae, and politics in the ‘60s and ‘70s to major motion pictures and television shows. She began her career shooting for underground LA newspapers and magazines including Crawdaddy, the Staff, and Music World. She also shot the stills for John Carpenter’s Halloween, The Fog, Christine and Escape from New York and worked at Paramount Pictures as the production photographer for Cheers and for Family Ties. She also served as the representative for still photographers on the National Executive Board of IATSE Local 600, the International Cinematographers Guild.

Her coffee-table photo books Bob Marley and the Golden Age of Reggae and On Set with John Carpenter were published by Titan Press (UK) distributed by Random House (USA) and both are now in multiple printing and she’s had gallery shows in London, Los Angeles and New York.
