Verizon - Jonathan Mannion: Hip-Hop In Frame
Written By Emma Maher
Jonathan Mannion is one of New York’s essential hip hop photographers. Since he started shooting in the 1990s—after working alongside Richard Avedon—he made his mark with Jay-Z’s first album cover for Reasonable Doubt. You could leaf through images of this photographer’s work and feel as though you’re going through a kind of hip-hop museum.
Today he has not only immortalized 7 more Jay-Z album covers, but the likes of DMX, Outkast, Nas, Eminem, Lauryn Hill, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, Aaliyah, and countless more.
