With Photographs, he presents his most comprehensive book to date: an impressive overview of no less than 65 years of photography, from 1960 to 2025. The book will be released around his 80th birthday and feels like a crowning achievement for an exceptional career.
Mankowitz became a leading name in London during the Swinging Sixties.

This was followed by iconic portraits of music legends such as Jimi Hendrix, The Yardbirds, Elton John, and Kate Bush.
However, his oeuvre extends far beyond music.

He also continued to capture new generations of artists and published several books about his work.

About the Author
Gered Mankowitz was born into a family of creatives and intellectuals. He left school at fifteen, without qualifications, but with a clear direction: photography. Encouraged by a friend of his father – the legendary actor Peter Sellers – he picked up the camera. After a short period in fashion photography, he broke through with his images of the vibrant music scene of the sixties. Later, he expanded his field to film and advertising, where he further refined his versatility and craftsmanship.
Gered Mankowitz: Photographs is therefore not just a coffee table book; it is also the story of a photographer who constantly reinvented himself.

Jazz: Best of the Apollo, Village Vanguard and Riverside Sessions
Authors: Richard Scheinin and Steve ScharpiroIn Jazz: Best of the Apollo, Village Vanguard, and Riverside Sessions, a rarely seen chapter of jazz history comes to life. The legendary photographer Steve Schapiro – globally renowned for his compelling social documentaries from the 1960s – turned his lens to the New York jazz scene early on. Even before his big breakthrough, he captured musicians in clubs, studios, and backstage moments, precisely at the intersection where music, zeitgeist, and personal expression converge.
In the early 60s, jazz experienced a golden age in New York. Schapiro, raised in the Bronx and working as a freelance photographer, gained access to the intimate world of Riverside Records. There, he not only photographed performances but also the moments in between: Sonny Rollins lifting weights backstage, Bobby Timmons engrossed in a sudden musical insight, musicians completely absorbed in their craft. His images exude proximity, respect, and a keen eye for the decisive moment.
The photographs in this coffee table book – largely never before published – feature icons such as Cannonball Adderley, Melba Liston, Bill Evans, Wayne Shorter, Freddie Hubbard, Sonny Rollins, and Count Basie. Together, they form a visual historical document of exceptional value, presenting jazz not as a myth, but as lived reality.
What you can expect:
- An impressive photo archive by Steve Schapiro featuring jazz legends from the early 60s
- Narrative context and interpretation by renowned jazz journalist Richard Scheinin
- Iconic names like Miles Davis, Dorothy Ashby, Bill Evans, and many others, captured in their purest moments

Norton).
Steve Schapiro (1934–2022) was one of the most influential American photographers of his generation. He achieved global fame for his photojournalistic coverage of the American Civil Rights Movement, including the March on Washington and the Selma to Montgomery marches.
