The Girl with the Camera
All the while, Ronnie was documenting everything.
From the wings of the Whisky to exclusive gatherings, Ronnie's camera rarely left her side. She captured the era with an intimacy and immediacy that no other photographer could replicate-because she was part of the story.
Morrison. Hendrix. Warhol. Hockney. Hitchcock. These weren't just posed pictures or portraits; they were lightning-in-a-bottle moments, frozen by someone who looked deep into her subjects' souls. Her photos are real. Candid, chaotic, poetic.
Though she never called herself a professional photographer, Ronnie’s images are nothing short of iconic. And the wildest part? Most of them have never been seen. Over half a million negatives and prints are sitting in boxes—an undiscovered gold mine of rock history.
