Jonathan Mannion has captured photographs of the people that I and many others, love and admire in the entertainment industry. Hes photographed celebrities such as the indivduals shown above along with many others such as Tyra Banks, The Game, Outcast, Eminem, Drake, Jay-z, Ja Rule, and the list goes on an on. What makes this photographer such an important one is that he has a unique style when it comes to photographing his clients. It is clear that he is very successful and a very popular photographer to celebrities but he too has other interests that he takes on. He is able to expand his photography outside of the entertainment world and photograph places that his celebrity clients have informed him of or just places he takes a liking or interest in.


“I decided to return to my roots as a photographer, to shoot raw with no plans, no lights, no extra equipment – just a camera, an alert eye and an open mind.” - Jonathan Mannion



He has a project called, The Crescent City, which is a series of photos taken in New Orleans. This is such a great project to look at. Mannion shows that it is possible to be a great photographer in many other areas than just one specific type or style of photography. An amazing photographer to read up on.
