As glamorous and audacious as her famous subjects, photographer Kate Simon has taken photos of some of the most recognizable faces in music, art, and culture, capturing images— and even pieces of the soul—from our biggest thinkers, art mavens, best-selling authors and poets, and the kinds of musicians who reside on Olympus. Luminaries from David Bowie to Jimmy Page to Madonna to Debbie Harry to William Burroughs to Patti Smith and more. She was at the inception of punk, shot the first Clash album cover, and has had some of her most iconic photos of Joe Strummer turned into posters and silkscreens by artist Shepard Fairey.
