Kramer, a New York-based photographer and film director, has long been recognized for his portraits and picture stories in national and international magazines. His 1967 Citadel Press book Bob Dylan was the first major work about the performer/songwriter who was about to change the world of music and go on to become an American cultural icon. During that period, Kramer had the rare opportunity to photograph Bob Dylan at work, at home, recording and performing at this pivotal time in Dylan’s career.

These extraordinary photographs of Bob Dylan are known throughout the world and have been used on the album covers for Dylan’s Highway 61 Revisited, Biograph, The Bob Dylan Song Book and Bringing it All Back Home, which won a Grammy nomination and was selected by Rolling Stone as one of the 100 Greatest Album Covers of All Time.

Kramer's work has been exhibited or collected by such museums as the George Eastman House, the National Portrait Gallery, the Whitney Museum of American Art and The International Center of Photography, where he has conducted photography workshops. Among his awards for his photography of Bob Dylan are a Gold Medal from the Art Director's Club of Washington, DC and a recent nomination by the Music Journalism Awards.

"Reading Kramer's description of working with Dylan...and looking at the photographs in the dining booth, in the rocking chair, later playing chess with Victor, climbing a tree, practicing with the bullwhip--I get insight into who Dylan is."
