Blondie in Camera 1978 beautifully presents the most celebrated photos of the late 1970s' biggest breakthrough band.

"Photographer Martyn Goddard reveals what it was like to shadow Blondie on the cusp of superstardom in 1978." — Uncut Magazine

"Thus, this work is more than a scrapbook; it's a time capsule that revives an era of danger, glamour, and creative revolution. And it's also the perfect excuse to revisit the Blondie phenomenon, the art of photographing rock stars, and why, perhaps, bands aren't "made" like they used to be." — GQ Mexico

"Goddard’s lens doesn’t merely document Blondie’s rise; it captures a turning point in music and visual culture." — Louder Than War

"...a handsome book." — BBC's Robert Elms Show

"... More than nostalgia, the book reflects Goddard's ability to balance artistry and access—creating images that feel as intimate as they are electric." — The Candid Frame Podcast

Blondie in Camera 1978 is richly illustrated with photographer Martyn Goddard’s most famous images of Blondie. Taken during their breakthrough year, these pictures have graced magazines, newspapers, promotional campaigns, posters and even the ‘Picture This’ single cover and the Best of Blondie album cover.

Blondie’s rise to the mainstream surface punctuated the late ’70s with a raft of unforgettable New Wave hits. The genre-mashing classic ‘Heart of Glass’ along with the likes of ‘Hanging on a Telephone’ and ‘Picture This’ were as zesty and fresh-faced as the young band members, who soon found superstardom as their singles landed and the strength of their attitude began to resonate. When Goddard travelled to New York in ’78 with an assignment to photograph lead-singer Debbie Harry, he couldn’t have imagined that Blondie’s songs and his images would soon become permanent fixtures on the cultural landscape.

This is the ultimate treasure trove for fans of one of the world’s biggest bands.
