JH x21 Gered Mankowitzs Studio 9 Masons Yard SW1Y 6BU

Photographer Gered Mankowitz had his studio in Mason's Yard. He has published a large-format book of the classic Hendrix pictures taken there. The sleeve of the Rolling Stones' Out of Our Heads was photographed in the narrow alleyway that leads in. The studio has become the offices of a legal firm. Jimi "was always the perfect gentleman, modest, humble, and charming," Mankowitz says. "He'd pop into the studio for a smoke on his way to the Scotch. We'd chat, gossip. I liked him a lot. He had no side to him. He was a good guy."
