Kim Gottlieb-Walker presents
TheRenaissanceWoman.net
my author site and a salon for my brilliant writer and artist friends
​
My career as a photographer covered a wide range of subjects, from classic rock and roll, reggae, and politics in the ‘60s and ‘70s to major motion pictures and television shows. After 50 years as a professional photographer, I have reinvented myself as a novelist.
While still at UCLA and shortly thereafter, I shot for underground LA newspapers and magazines including Crawdaddy, the Staff, and Music World.
I also shot the stills for John Carpenter’s Halloween, Halloween II, The Fog, Christine, and Escape from New York, and worked at Paramount for nine years as the production photographer for Cheers, and for five years on Family Ties. For three decades I was an elected representative for still photographers on the National Executive Board of IATSE Local 600, the International Cinematographers Guild.

About Kim Gottlieb-Walker, novelist:
After 50 years as a photographer (see www.Lenswoman.com)
I have reinvented myself as a novelist.
My first novel, Lenswoman - a Romance of the 1960s and '70s, was twenty years in the writing, rewriting, and rewriting again, with the help of the fabulous Writers' Critique Group from the Women's National Book Association. You will find the work of these remarkable women under "Writers." You can also find this organization and many others on pages here - with all kinds of resources for writers.
My second novel, Caterina by Moonlight, was inspired by my first-ever trip to Florence, Italy, in Oct 2019 -- just before the world-wide pandemic hit. I fell in love with Florence and I spent the plague year madly researching and writing, immersing myself in the late 15th century.
​
I think of Lenswoman as tasty fast food,
and Caterina by Moonlight as a sumptuous banquet.
