Maggie St. Thomas

Maggie St. Thomas is a West Coast artist from Long Beach, CA. By the age of fourteen she was a published photo-journalist capturing the Los Angeles Anarchy punk and Goth music scenes with her Nikon cameras. One of Maggie's most cherished moments came in 1995 when she photographed her all-time favorites, The Ramones.

Arturo Vega, legendary Ramones Creative Director, acknowledged Maggie's talent, stating, "I enjoy seeing photographs or reading almost anything about The Ramones, but it is especially satisfactory when a written piece is done well with a true sense of understanding of punk music; this is just the case in what Maggie has written about the band. She is also very good at capturing the band's spirit in photos." -June 14, 2002

Since the early 90's, Maggie's photographic and journalistic works have been featured in over 300 print publication issues, including Billboard, Rolling Stone, LA Weekly, and High Times. Her photographic career has given her the opportunity to work closely with legendary artists including Etta James, Lemmy Kilmister, Bo Diddley, Joey Ramone, Bradley Nowell (Sublime), and many more. With each collaboration, Maggie skillfully captures the essence of those in front of her camera lens with timeless finesse and grace.

In October 2022, Maggie entered the world of published authors with her debut hardcover release, Still Life: The Photographs of Maggie St.Thomas. Four decades of photographic work is compiled into a collection of 104 pages focusing on life, death and beyond. The book begins with a foreword written by Exene Cervenka (X), which beautifully sets the tone for its readers.

Since then, Maggie has published a handful of books including three childrens books, and a plethora of unique word search puzzle books on niche topics including Music, True Crime, and Cremation.

In 2025 she published Subject: PUNK (The Second Edition), available in Sept 2025.
