As someone who’s spent years speaking with some of the most fascinating figures in music and culture, few conversations have excited me as much as the one you’re about to see. Recently, I had the great pleasure of sitting down with Gered Mankowitz—a photographer whose work hasn’t just captured music history, but helped define how we see it.

From the gritty edge of the Rolling Stones and the electric charisma of Jimi Hendrix, to the theatrical glam of Slade, Sweet, and Suzi Quatro, the intense gaze of Billy Idol, and the enigmatic beauty of Kate Bush, Gered’s images have become part of our collective cultural memory.
In this interview, we talk about the man behind the camera—his background, how it shaped his creative vision, and the instinctive way he connects with his subjects. We also delve into his relationship with the Hasselblad camera, a tool that became an extension of his eye, and explore what it is that he brings out in the people he photographs—something deeper, more human, and often utterly timeless.
As we talk, I’ll be sharing some of his most iconic photographs—images that not only reflect a moment in time but continue to resonate decades later.
This is more than a conversation about photography—it’s a revealing journey through music, image, and identity, seen through the lens of one of the great visual storytellers of our time.
