Preview: Gered Mankowitz on collaborating with the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, and others

In the 1960s and '70s, British photographer Gered Mankowitz worked with some of rock's greatest stars at the peak of their creative powers. In the mid-1960s, he served as the Rolling Stones' "official" photographer, and he took now-classic shots of Jimi Hendrix, Kate Bush, Free, Traffic, The Yardbirds, The Small Faces, and dozens of other artists. In this excerpt from our forthcoming full interview, Mankowitz tells how his own collaborative approach evolved, and how he learned to help sometimes-shy musicians project the "stories" they wanted their audiences to see. #photography #rockphotography thesixties #rollingstones #theseventies #hendrix #jimihendrix #traffic #jeffbeck #jimmypage #yardbirds #katebush #lionheart #thekickinside
