Gered Mankowitz: Photographs – ME Hotel, UK

Step back into a raucous and glittering era of music through the eyes and lens of Gered Mankowitz. Talk about being in the right place at the right time because Gered’s presence in the music industry saw him photographing the likes of The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Marianne Faithfull, Paul McCartney, Kate Bush, and the list keeps on going. Whether it’s album cover or studio session shoots, Gered captures these noise-makers in a light that’s equal parts legendary and common. Touring musicians spend much of their time on the road, pit-stopping in hotels all over the world. Hence, what better place for this exhibition of Gered’s photographs than the iconic ME Hotel. So when you’re looking at these works, read between the bass lines and hear the riffs radiating off them.
