Chris Walter was born in 1946 and grew up in Surrey, just south of London. After leaving school and going to a Little Richard concert, where he was asked for a snap by a fellow concert goer, the idea of taking music pictures was set. Most photographers shooting pop music at that time worked for newspapers, but Chris joined the handful that specialized only in music and entertainment.
It was the beginning of the greatest music era and shooting all the new and established acts available in the UK in the 1960's and 1970's gave Chris a huge variety of archival material, shooting all over the UK and regularly visiting Paris or Amsterdam and other European cities to shoot with British acts visiting there.
On moving to California in 1977 he continued shooting all kinds of music material for a variety of UK and European publications.
Chris continues to be one of the most published music photographers world wide, with many album covers, magazines, newspapers, books, documentaries, television and motion pictures utilizing his classic music material. This includes recent Rod Stewart, Jimi Hendrix, Doors, Donovan, Creedence and The Who CD/DVD covers and the current UK Scott Walker movie.
