SHARON SMITH CAMERA GIRL

CAMERA GIRL. By Sharon Smith. In New York in 1979, Sharon was a 28- year-old photographer who walked into the Ritz, an East Village club that was the center of the New Wave music scene. She went on to work at the Savoy, the Red Parrot, Studio 54, Roseland Ballroom, Merlyn’s, 4D, Area, Palladium, Mars and the club called New York, New York.

The book is of course full of unseen Polaroid pictures of Madonna, Andy Warhol, Sylvester, David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Grace Jones, Debbie Harry and many, many club kids and disco dancers. The main text features Sharon Smith with the book's editor Bill Shapiro. The introduction is by 2024 legend Honey Dijon. It is the perfect package. Which is why we are publishing it in the first week of December — it's a gift of a book for the Holiday season.
