EP112 - Gered Mankowitz - Legendary Photographer... ”Look around this world, there’s millions to be seen...”

My guest on this episode is the absolute legend that is Gered
Mankowitz - he is the photographer who created the enduring and
defining image of the rock star as we know it today.Inspired to
take up photography by the comedian Peter Sellers, Gered opened
his first studio in 1963. Finding himself at the centre of
Swinging London, he soon established himself as one of the most
prominent music photographers on the scene. His portfolio
showcases striking and beautiful photographs from the 1960s to
the 2000s, encompassing the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix , Small
Faces, Marianne Faithfull, P.P. Arnold, Led Zeppelin, Eurythmics,
Kate Bush, Oasis and many others. Check out his collection
here.There are two links with Paul Weller. The photograph for the
cover of The Jam's second album This Is The Modern World and a
lovely shot for an advert for Vox Amps with The Style Council...


 


In 2016 Gered was awarded the distinction of a Fellowship of The
Royal Photographic Society.Find out more about Gered at
