Jill Furmanovsky speaking at the 2016 EYE International Photography Festival
Jill Furmanovsky in conversation with Eamonn McCabe
Jill Furmanovsky has been a professional photographer since 1972. She is best known for her images of rock bands and in 1972 she became the official photographer for London’s premiere rock venue The Rainbow Theatre. She has photographed all the big names in rock from Led Zeppelin to Oasis and in 1992 won the Jane Bown Observer Portrait award for the portrait of Charlie Watts. In 1998 she established Rockarchive to encourage recognition for the art and protect the rights of rock photographers.
Jill has published two books: The Moment: 25 Years of Rock Photography, 1995; and Was There Then: Oasis - A Photographic Journey, 1997
Ffoton had the great pleasure of meeting and talking with Jill in Aberystwyth at the 2016 EYE International Photography Festival.
Y mae Jill Furmanovsky wedi bod yn ffotograffydd proffesiynol ers 1972. Y mae'n cael ei hadnabod fel tynnwr lluniau bandiau roc ac yn 1972 fe gafodd swydd fel ffotograffydd swyddogol Theatr y Rainbow prif leoliad cyngherddau roc y 70'au yn Llundain. Y mae hi wedi tynnu lluniau mawrion y byd roc o Led Zeppelin i Oasis. Yn 1992 enillodd wobr Jane Bown yr Observer am y portread gwych o Charlie Watts. Yn 1998 fe sefydlodd Rockarchive i ennyn cydnabyddiaeth o'r gelfyddyd o ffotograffiaeth roc ac i amddiffyn hawliau'r ffotograffwyr.
Y mae wedi cyhoeddi dau lyfr: The Moment: 25 Years of Rock Photography, 1995; and Was There Then: Oasis - A Photographic Journey, 1997
Cawsom y fraint o gwrdd a sgwrsio gyda Jill yng Ngwyl Rhyngwladol yr Eye Aberystwyth 2016.

I took live pictures of Amy Winehouse for MOJO Magazine at the Union Chapel in 2006. She seemed particularly happy that night and made references to a loved one (Blake) who was in the audience. After the show I asked Amy if she would mind me shooting a quick portrait. The road crew was loading out and a cold wind blew in through the open stage door. Amy didn't mind, she obliged by standing against the wall in the corridor, lifting her head to catch the light while the autumn leaves blew in."" data-lightbox-theme="dark" href="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54819aebe4b05ea9bd1c8244/1487240264499-I4OKGPVMC0RI949ODSPC/057+2006+Amy+Winehouse+print+V2011+JF+RT+copy.jpg" role="button" aria-label="Amy Winehouse, 2006" class="
