Jimi Hendrix
Photography by Gered Mankowitz
“Jimi was charming, modest, quiet and funny and a joy to work with, allowing me that wonderful moment of access which makes a great portrait. The strength of my photographs is that they capture the man behind the myth. He wasn’t remotely the sort of wild man of rock ’n’ roll that people have come to think of him as.”
