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

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.
