About Gered Mankowitz:
Gered Mankowitz was born in London, England in 1946 to author, playwright, and film writer Wolf Mankowitz and his wife the psychotherapist, Ann Mankowitz.
Having displayed a natural 'eye' for photography whilst on a school trip to Holland, Mankowitz was inspired to take up photography by the actor Peter Sellers. Aged just 15 years old, acclaimed photographer Tom Blau offered Mankowitz an apprenticeship at Camera Press Ltd.
By 1963 he had opened his own studio on Mason’s Yard, London; it was here that he was approached to photograph Marianne Faithfull and was introduced to Andrew Loog Oldham.
In early 1965, Oldham asked him to photograph the Rolling Stones, who he also managed and produced. This was a major turning point in Mankowitz's career because from this first session came the cover for Out of Our Heads, and as a result, he was asked by the Stones to go to America with them on their record-breaking 1965 Autumn Tour.
For the next forty years Mankowitz continued to work in the music industry and his portraits read like a who's who of the key players at the time. Jimi Hendrix, PP Arnold, The Yardbirds, The Small Faces, Elton John, Slade, Kate Bush, The Jam, Eurythmics, Duran Duran, Oasis, and many more, have looked down the lens of Mankowitz's camera.
His photographs are held in the collections of The National Portrait Gallery and numerous other international collections in Berlin, Amsterdam, New York, Washington DC, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Hawaii, Hong Kong, Dubai, and Tokyo.
