Gered Mankowitz is one of the most celebrated photographers in the history of popular music and has created enduring and defining images of Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones, Marianne Faithfull and many other iconic stars. Some of Gered’s images have become part of the permanent collection of the National Portrait Gallery.
As a teenager, Mankowitz took some of the best-loved photographs of the Rolling Stones in their frantic, formative year. In his new book The Rolling Stones Rare and Unseen, he takes a look beyond those famous images, unearthing frames that have never been seen before, plus those rarely used, to provide a truly fresh look at the greatest story in rock ‘n’ roll.
In a wide-ranging conversation with Times Rock Critic Will Hodgkinson, Gered will talk about the time he spent with the band and the craftmanship – and luck – that went into capturing some of the most memorable shots, while also reflecting on the other artists he’s worked with, from Kate Bush, to Leonard Cohen, George Harrison, Wham, Madness and Oasis.
This event is part of Falmouth Book Festival running from 14-20 October. For more info visit the website www.falmouthbookfestival.com
