Charles Gatewood studied anthropology at the University of Missouri in the early 1960s before pursuing a career in photography, focusing on subcultures and unconventional lifestyles. Working as a freelance photographer from 1974 onward, he documented both the underground scene and prominent cultural figures such as William S. Burroughs and Bob Dylan. His images, often raw yet empathetic, form a compelling record of individuals and communities existing outside the mainstream. – Corners bumped, creases in corners in margins, one light handling dent lower right in image, otherwise in good condition.
