Jimi Hendrix "Are You Experienced?" Ltd.-Edition Photo Print
In Stock (1)

This 16" x 16" color print is from an edition of 100 on glossy photo stock, signed and numbered by the photographer, Karl Ferris

Unmatted/unframed (Click here for framing options and costs)

Ferris met with Jimi Hendrix in 1967 through Chas Chandler, who “discovered” Hendrix. Karl received the compliment of a lifetime when Hendrix remarked to him, on seeing his portfolio “ You‘re doing with photography what I’m doing with music, going far out beyond the limits”.

Hendrix then asked Ferris to be his photographer and to re-shoot the UK version of the album ” Are You Experienced?” for the U.S. market. Karl began experimenting and using a giant Nikon fisheye lens and a secret Infrared film that had just been released by the military, who had used it for U-2 plane spying. He created the famous photograph used for Jimi’s first US record album cover, which he also designed.

His images appeared on all three U.S. album covers released during Hendrix’s short life - "Are You Experienced?", "Axis: Bold As Love" and "Electric Ladyland" (and later "Smash Hits" and "The Jimi Hendrix Experience Box Set" released in 2000).
