The Experience

In 1967, British photographer Gered Mankowitz had the opportunity to photograph the Jimi Hendrix Experience in two sessions at Mankowitz’s legendary Mason’s Yard studio. Considered by many to be the finest studio portraits of Hendrix and the Experience, these extraordinary images capture the acclaimed musician at a defining moment in his brief but spectacular career. This book showcases Mankowitz’s complete Hendrix portfolio for the first time, including contemporary color reinterpretations of the black-and-white archive.
