The personification of cool: Debbie Harry of Blondie in her aviators, photographed in 1977 by Chris Stein. Few photographers have had this kind of access. Stein met Harry in 1973, and the two went on to co-found Blondie, with Stein co-writing hits including "Heart of Glass" and "Rapture."
Stein had been taking photographs since 1968, and through the band's rise he kept a camera on Harry and on the New York punk and new wave scene around them, working as both participant and observer. His pictures from those years, including shoots for Creem and sessions in the couple's apartments, were gathered in Chris Stein / Negative: Me, Blondie, and the Advent of Punk, published by Rizzoli for the band's 40th anniversary. This portrait comes from that vantage point: a bandmate behind the lens, photographing a friend who was becoming a star.
