About the Book

Jimi Hendrix (1942-1970) is without doubt the most significant guitarist in rock history. His career was short, but to this day no one has taken his place. Hendrix is the great legend of rock guitarists. For the first time ever, this book introduces the complete legendary Mankowitz photo sessions with the Jimi Hendrix Experience, the trio founded in 1966 by Hendrix, Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell. Chas Chandler, Hendrix's manager, asked the popular photographer Mankowitz to portray the Experience early in 1967. The young Gered Mankowitz had already made quite a reputation for himself as a photographer capable of tapping right into the personality of the person he portrayed, and his images conveyed that sense profoundly. With these particular sessions, Mankowitz helped create the visual trademarks that the trio came to rely on; he also assisted Hendrix in finding a sublime and exotic image entirely of his own. These pictures show Hendrix to be forceful, confident, yet also sensitive and thoughtful - an exceptional personality at the peak of his growth. Just by using simple black-and-white photography, Mankowitz succeeded in creating the icon that was to become Jimi Hendrix. Altogether, only 96 images were taken during the two sessions, but these really are something. The book is published as a larger-than-usual coffee table book (10.5x14.5" approx.). The print is on premium 200g paper, using duotone printing in FM-raster scan and allowing for excellent image quality. Individually designed coloured book end paper, a coated cover, a decorative slipcase - well, this is a polygraphic gem!

About the Author :
Gered Mankowitz - born 1946 - started to take pictures when he was just a schoolboy. He did a few internships with the renowned agency Camera Press at the age of 15. Following a short assistance with the respected Paris fashion photographer Alec Murray, Mankowitz opened his first own studio in 1963, at 9 Masons Yard, at the heart of London's West End. Slowly he gained the trust of numerous young and upcoming artists and stars, such as The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Marianne Faithfull, The Nice, Traffic, Soft Machine, The Yardbirds and others. He cooperated very closely with Andrew Loog Oldham, the first manager of the Rolling Stones, for many years, contributing dozens of record covers and images to Oldham's other projects too. During the 70s and 80s, Gered Mankowitz went on to work with artists such as Slade, Elton John, Gary Glitter, The Sweet, Kate Bush, Eurythmics, ABC, Duran Duran and many others.There seems to be no end to his career, as he continues doing photo shoots for Oasis, The Verve, Catatonia, Kula Shaker and others. With his works Mankowitz is regarded one of the most influential photographers of rock.
