Charles Gatewood began his career in 1966 with his now-famous portrait of Bob Dylan, made at a press conference in Stockholm, Sweden. Since then he has pursued a 45-year journey as a photo-journalist and fine art photographer, during which his striking photographs have been compared to those of Diane Arbus, Robert Frank, and Weegee.

Gatewood is best known for documenting America’s emerging sexual underground and helping launch the Modern Primitives movement into popular consciousness. He is the self-proclaimed "family photographer of America's erotic underground." His early photographs possess a distinct political edge as he frequently shot life on the street, including Mardi Gras and early gay parades in New York City.  In Helmut Werb’s profile of Charles Gatewood in Black+White Magazine he observes, “There is an engaging, almost naive quality in Gatewood’s early work; not exactly innocent, more untamed and raucous, almost like photographs of a wild kid in a candy store.” 

From 1966-1975, Gatewood worked on assignment for Rolling Stone, The New York Times, Harper's, Time, and other national publications. It was on assignment that he met and befriended William S. Burroughs, now the subject of Gatewood’s newest limited edition artist’s book. Other subjects included rock and roll artists of the day -- including Bob Dylan, Rod Stewart, Carlos Santana, Boz Scaggs, Al Green and others -- as well as Allen Ginsberg and other literary figures of the Beat generation.

From 1972-1976 Charles Gatewood turned to New York's financial district for his photo essay Wall Street, which was awarded the prestigious Leica medal of Excellence for Distinguished Humanistic Photojournalism. Gatewood describes the vintage Wall Street prints as “formal and forbidding, providing a visual metaphor for a more secretive perversion, high finance.” Moreover, these striking images are prime examples of photographic modernism with their stark composition, strong line and high contrast. Comparing the Wall Street work to Gatewood’s earlier sexual works, photography historian A. D. Coleman quipped “These may be the dirtiest pictures Charles Gatewood has ever made.”

Charles Gatewood has published over a dozen books, including Wall Street, Sidetripping (with introduction by William S. Burroughs), Forbidden Photographs, Primitives, The Body and Beyond, True Blood, and Badlands.
