DON CAMP

Don Camp has come to know the glamour capitals of the world intimately, photographing the world's rich and famous. And name just about any celebrity - Liz Taylor, Bill Gates, even the Pope - and chances are Camp has taken his or her picture, up close and personal.

It seems Camp has always had the temperament to hang with celebrities. He grew up amid the chaos of the wild Haight Ashbury and headed straight to UCLA after high school. Once there, he didn't study much. Instead, he played keyboard in a rock band that gigged up and down the Vegas/Nevada circuit throughout the late '60s and early '70s. When his friends urged Camp to try acting, he did; he appeared in just about every celluloid staple of popular culture, from Starsky and Hutch to Planet of the Apes to Charlie's Angels.

Within a few short years, Camp was photographing launch parties and movie premieres, and by 1980 he had landed the event that would catalyze his career: the Cannes Film Festival.
