Perched high above Manhattan on the rooftop of the Pan Am Building in 1968, Jimi Hendrix faces the press with effortless style and quiet intensity. Dressed in bold patterns and exuding cool confidence, he stands at the crossroads of rock stardom and cultural revolution. The city stretches behind him — a fitting backdrop for a man who was reshaping the sound of his generation.

Captured by Elliott Landy, this photograph is more than a press moment. It’s a portrait of Hendrix as both artist and icon, grounded yet larger than life. The contrast between Hendrix’s presence and the vast city skyline speaks to his singular place in music and history.

A Moment in Music History, Signed by the Eye Who Saw It

Every Elliott Landy print comes with this official backing — a record of its origin, location, materials, and legacy. It’s more than a print. It’s a documented piece of rock and roll history, captured through the lens of one of the era’s most iconic photographers. Printed on archival, 100% cotton rag paper and hand-signed by Elliott himself, each piece is a testament to the artist’s vision and the cultural moment it preserves.

Elliott Landy — The Eye of the Woodstock Generation

Elliott Landy was one of the first photographers to treat music photography as fine art — and the world followed. His iconic portraits of Bob Dylan (Nashville Skyline), The Band (Music From Big Pink, The Band), Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Van Morrison (Moondance), and Jim Morrison helped shape the visual identity of some of the most important records of the 20th century. As the official photographer of the 1969 Woodstock Festival, his work became inseparable from the ideals of the era — peace, rebellion, and raw creative freedom.
