From hanging around outside Abbey Road to catch a glimpse of the Fab Four, to photographing Led Zeppelin, Blondie, Oasis, Amy Winehouse and Leonard Cohen, Jill Furmanovsky’s career has seen her capture some of the biggest artists of the last 40 years.

Jill will share the story of how her career started and developed, the stories behind her iconic images, backstage anecdotes and insight into the kit she uses to capture her seminal shots.
