Noted Photographer Kate Simon Unveils The View from the Inside
Some cultural figures always have their finger on the pulse. Andy Warhol did, and so — one could argue — does Kate Simon.magazine for a spell, but it’s her portrait photography that has solidified her reputation. That iconic cover of The Clash’s debut album? It’s Simon’s. Classic images from Bob Marley’s Exodus tour? Simon again. She even managed to build a relationship with the notoriously persnickety writer William Burroughs, photographing him over and over during a 20-year period.
Simon’s approach to photography was in place from the very beginning. Growing up in Poughkeepsie, New York, she was drawn to the medium by her doctor father, a passionate hobbyist who often took her along on trips to the local photo supply shop. “I just had this hunch I was supposed to be a photographer, which sounds ludicrous, but I really did,” she says. “Once I got over to London, I was on retainer with this newspaper. I was a child — 23 years old — and I was photographing two shoots a day — everyone in music. There was so much action going on over there.”Specializing in portraits, she captured friends and colleagues who later became bold-faced names.
“I think it’s a collaboration,” Simon says of her strategy. “You as a photographer have to bring your healthy self and your technical chops to the shoot, but then it becomes your communication with the subject and how well you connect with them.”
