Arguably the most prolific hip-hop photographer of all time, Jonathan Mannion seeks to capture the integrity and image of hip-hop icons in their truest form, exposing both vulnerability and passion. Since the early 1990s, Mannion has worked diligently alongside nearly every major hip-hop sensation from his studio in New York, and is also responsible for photographing seven of the last eleven Jay-Z album covers. Seasoned artists revere him and young artists aspire to work with him, as Mannion seamlessly integrates photography and music to capture the ideals of hip hop artists. Mr. Mannion is an undeniable factor behind the success of icons including Lil' Wayne, Outkast, DMX, Drake and Nicki Minaj, sealing his position as the leader of artist presentation and a chronicler of hip-hop history.
