Gijsbert Hanekroot (Brussels, 1945) began his career in 1969 and worked for magazines and newspapers in the 1970s. His career as a photojournalist aligns perfectly with the explosion of the rock scene, and he masterfully documented this golden age of music history — photographing many of the greatest icons of the era.

Gijsbert strived to capture images that revealed the man behind the musician. Trying to express a deeper truth about his subjects resulted in portraits that are natural and intimate, relaxed and sincere. The photographer is represented by galleries in Tokyo, Hong Kong, Madrid, London, Bologna, Munich and Schiedam, Netherlands.
