Books
I am self-publishing books about the artists that I have had the pleasure to work with over my career. All these books are available worldwide through Amazon or from me if you want a personalized dedication written into your copy.
Here is the current list.
George DuBose was the "official" Ramones photographer for the second half of their career. From Subterranean Jungle to Adios Amigos, his photos and designs produce packages that reflected the group and their music. This book is one of a series of photography books that tell the stories behind the creative process and the photo sessions. Unused and unseen images tell even more of the story. This book is a "must-have" for all Ramones fans, young and old.
An overview of the photography career of George DuBose who photographed more than 300 LP and CD covers for musicians ranging from the B52s to The Notorious B.I.G.DuBose shows his single favorite image of the artists included in this book.
George DuBose began his work with NYC’s Hip Hop artists at the very beginning. When he heard the first Hip Hop hits, he thought it was part of New Wave music. It was a wave alright, a tidal wave that swept the country. This book traces his work with Afrika Bambaataa, Biz Markie, Kane, G. Rap, Roxanne Shanté, MC Shan, Masta Ace, Man Parrish, The Genius aka GZA, Craig G, Marley Marl, Grand Daddy IU, King Sun, MC Jay and Thomas Ontime of 2 Deep, Run-DMC, The New York City Breakers, XCLAN, Mobb Deep, Rammellzee, Shelley Thunder, Scoob and Scrap, Double J, Bootsy Collins and The Notorious B.I.G. In all, DuBose has created more that 300 album images and designs and over 50 of his projects have achieved gold status. Bonafide magazine (UK) called DuBose “the godfather of Hip-Hop photography”. This is not a Hip Hop history nor a "how-to" photography book, it is the stories behind the concepts and actualization of images that have been used for these artists' album covers. The book is full of color images that illustrate the covers and cd booklets and also there are many "out-takes" from these photo sessions that fans have never seen. Hopefully, the reader will learn more about his favorite artists and discover some new artists that they are unaware of.
This book is Volume One in the series "I Speak Music". These books in the Hip Hop series begin with my first connections to Hip Hop music and the culture that developed. I begin with Soul Sonic Force, Biz Markie, Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap and DJ Polo ending with Roxanne Shanté. Old School Volume Two begins with MC Shan continuing with Masta Ace, Man Parrish, The Genius (GZA), Craig G, Grand Daddy I.U., Marley Marl, King Sun, Dee Dee King (aka Dee Dee Ramone) and ends with 2 Deep. Volume Three begins with RunDMC, The New York Breakers, XCLAN, Mobb Deep, Rammellzee, Shelley Thunder, Scoob Lover, Double J, Bootsy Collins and ends with The Notorious B.I.G. These are not how-to photography books or biographies of the artists. They are stories behind the album covers, where the ideas came from and how these concepts were executed. I include photos that were taken at the sessions for publicity or album cover use, but were not used. The events describe took place up to 30 years ago and if there are any errors, they are mine alone. I hope that these books will give you insights to the artists that you know and turn you on to artists that you don't know.

Not many photographers would dare to show all their photos from a single shooting to the public. When the editor of the Encyclopedia Madonnica told me that he needed to see all of my shots from a single concert by Madonna that meant I needed to rescan all four rolls of 35mm B&W film that I had shot in October, 1981. Reviewing all the images, I saw that there were shots that I had forgotten all about, quite a few really nice shots, many more that were OK and only a few that were blurry from Madonna’s movements or out of focus.So to end any further discussion, here are all the shots. I wrote a short text about my Madonna experience and include a short interview with the guitar player that played with Madonna onstage that night so long ago in Roslyn, Long Island, NY. I present to you here the real Madonna. Before recording contracts, before she had decided on her stage costumes, before she had the songs that would become her hits.
Nicht viele Fotografen würden es wagen, alle ihre Fotos von einer einzigen Aufnahme der Öffentlichkeit zu zeigen. Als der Herausgeber der Encyclopedia Madonnica mir mitteilte, dass er alle meine Aufnahmen von einem einzigen Konzert von Madonna sehen wollte, bedeutete das, dass ich alle vier Rollen 35-mm-Schwarzweißfilm, die ich im Oktober 1981 aufgenommen hatte, erneut scannen musste. Bei der Durchsicht aller Bilder stellte ich fest, dass es Aufnahmen gab, die ich ganz vergessen hatte, einige wirklich schöne Aufnahmen, viele weitere, die in Ordnung waren, und nur einige wenige, die durch Madonnas Bewegungen verschwommen oder unscharf waren. Ich habe einen kurzen Text über meine Madonna-Erfahrung geschrieben und ein kurzes Interview mit dem Gitarristen eingefügt, der mit Madonna an diesem Abend vor so langer Zeit in Roslyn, Long Island, NY, auf der Bühne stand. Vor den Plattenverträgen, bevor sie sich für ihre Bühnenkostüme entschieden hatte, bevor sie die Songs hatte, die ihre Hits werden sollten.
Non molti fotografi avrebbero il coraggio di mostrare al pubblico tutte le loro foto di un singolo scatto. Quando l'editore dell'Enciclopedia Madonnica mi disse che aveva bisogno di vedere tutti i miei scatti di un singolo concerto di Madonna, significava che dovevo riesaminare tutti e quattro i rullini di pellicola 35 mm in bianco e nero che avevo scattato nell'ottobre 1981. Rivedendo tutte le immagini, ho visto che c'erano scatti di cui mi ero completamente dimenticato, alcuni scatti davvero belli, molti altri che erano OK e solo alcuni che erano sfocati a causa dei movimenti di Madonna o fuori fuoco. Ho scritto un breve testo sulla mia esperienza con Madonna e ho incluso una breve intervista con il chitarrista che ha suonato con Madonna sul palco quella notte di tanto tempo fa a Roslyn, Long Island, NY. Prima dei contratti di registrazione, prima che avesse deciso i suoi costumi di scena, prima che avesse le canzoni che sarebbero diventate i suoi successi.
No hay muchos fotógrafos que se atrevan a mostrar al público todas sus fotos de una sola sesión. Cuando el editor de la Enciclopedia Madonnica me dijo que necesitaba ver todas mis fotos de un único concierto de Madonna, tuve que volver a escanear los cuatro rollos de película de 35 mm en blanco y negro que había tomado en octubre de 1981. Revisando todas las imágenes, vi que había tomas que había olvidado por completo, bastantes tomas realmente bonitas, muchas más que estaban bien y sólo unas pocas que estaban borrosas por los movimientos de Madonna o desenfocadas.Así que para acabar con cualquier discusión, aquí están todas las tomas. He escrito un pequeño texto sobre mi experiencia con Madonna y he incluido una pequeña entrevista con el guitarrista que tocó con Madonna en el escenario aquella noche de hace tanto tiempo en Roslyn, Long Island, NY.Os presento aquí a la verdadera Madonna. Antes de los contratos de grabación, antes de haber decidido su vestuario para el escenario, antes de tener las canciones que se convertirían en sus éxitos.
