A Star is Born traces how stars on both sides of the camera shape the image of musicians and rock bands. Glamour portraits, journalistic documents of live performances and PR materials from record labels form the core of this publication. The book includes photographs by Ron Galella, Annie Leibovitz, Mark Seliger, Richard Avedon, Daniel Kramer, Mick Rock and Jerry Schatzberg, all of them stars behind the camera.

The book also includes photographs that highlight the cult-like admiration surrounding musical instruments and sound technology.
