Rare Photos Of The Rolling Stones On Show In Paris

Some truly amazing shots on view here.

Gered Mankowitz, The Rolling Stones/Backstage

Rare photos of The Rolling Stones are now available to go and view in Paris.

A photographer by the name of Gered Mankowitz just happens to be a fan of rock and roll, and he took these wonderful shots. Born in Britain in 1946, he left school at the age of 15 to become a photographer, and opened his first studio in 1963.

At just 18, he met The Rolling Stones thanks to the Stones’ manager Andrew Lood Oldham after a session with Marianne Faithfull, who Oldham was her agent too.

“This photo was used for the very first Rolling Stones album. For the 18 year old boy I was at the time, it was a dream come true. I lost the original negative a few years ago, it was probably stollen from my studio, I wasn’t very good at securing stuff.

It was recently given back to me after years spent in some shed in West London. I cleaned it up and now it gives fantastic prints. One of these prints is now part of London’s National Portrait Gallery’s private collection.”
