Debbie Harry and Blondie: Picture This

Formed 35 years ago, Blondie was the most successful rock act to emerge from New York’s anarchic downtown punk scene. Debbie Harry, their multitalented and beautiful lead singer, became the most photogenic and photographed female rock performer of all time. Her punk Marilyn Monroe persona was never better celebrated than in Mick Rock’s dynamic portfolio.
Their collaboration produced iconic images that transcended and transformed the conventions of rock'n'roll photography. While Blondie continues to excite the world with their performances, this volume provides a vivid and memorable account of Debbie Harry and the band at the peak of their success. AUTHOR: Mick Rock’s career was launched when he photographed an almost unknown David Bowie in 1972. The two established an instant rapport and Rock went on to direct several of Bowie’s music videos. Rock’s reputation as the man who shot the ‘70s was cemented with iconic images of Lou Reed, Syd Barrett, Iggy Pop, Queen, the Sex Pistols, the Ramones, and Blondie. His other books include Mick Rock: The Rise of David Bowie, Classic Queen, Mick Rock Exposed, Glam! An Eyewitness Account, and Iggy & the Stooges: Raw Power. He lives in New York City.
