Peter Simon is one of America’s most celebrated photojournalists from the Baby Boomer generation. Heir to the Simon & Schuster publishing empire, Simon grew up in New England, cut his teeth in New York City, and traveled North America documenting some of the most memorable events of the late 1960s, 70s, and beyond. When he was 14-years-old, his photographs were published in Popular Photography magazine. Peter Simon later went on to study the craft at Boston University and tour intermittently with the Grateful Dead, Bob Marley & the Wailers, and Led Zeppelin, among many other iconic performers of the generation, as a band friend and press photographer.
Over the years, Simon has worked on contract for Time, Newsweek, Rolling Stone, the Village Voice, the New York Times, New York Monthly, the Atlantic Monthly, and many other publications—bringing up-close photography of life and pop culture into the homes of people worldwide, making Peter Simon a household name. Since 1973, Simon and his family have resided on Martha’s Vineyard, where he continues to work as a professional photographer and manages the Simon Gallery. His most recent book, Reggae Scrapbook, released in 2007, chronicles his journeys with Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, the Wailers, and notables of the Jamaican music scene of the late 1970s.
