    About the Book

    Edit

    DELUXE EDITION: Marc Karzen photographed activities around the Kentucky Derby with a gritty, unvarnished, immersive point-of-view that included side streets around downtown Louisville, night clubs, street parties, Churchill Downs’ backside and Derby race day. After an encounter with Hunter S. Thompson, Marc Karzen took a deep dive into Thompson stories and then applied a “gonzo” point-of-view to his week long social photo essay at the Derby — which explored the cultural transformation that took place during the week in Louisville in the’80s.

    Los Angeles

    MARC KARZEN was born in Paris and raised between Louisville KY and Los Angeles. NBC'S LATE NIGHT WITH DAVID LETTERMAN sought a distinctive look to brand and ID the show. Karzen along with art director Bob Pook and graphics coordinator Edd Hall, created the Emmy nominated “No-Logo” concept where the show title was integrated into natural late night New York settings. Karzen’s photographic career grew out of Kodachrome street photography, magazine fashion photography, music portraiture and into the unique area of on-air photography for television. Karzen’s work appeared in numerous publications though out Europe among them Harper’s & Queen, Depeche Mode, Company, Marie France, Votre Beauté, Marie Claire and until moving to NYC at age 23 where he shot for Rolling Stone, Glamour, GQ, Mademoiselle, Women’s Wear Daily and Seventeen as well as advertising agencies and record labels.
