Professional photographer Jonathan Mannion first got his roots established after working under world-renowned photographer Rich Avedon. His first shoot was for the classic hip-hop album Reasonable Doubt by rapper Jay-Z and since then, he’s earned the trust of world superstars such as Ludacris, Lance Armstrong, Tyra Banks and Drake. He shares with us through this Leica Portrait about his experiences in becoming such an important messenger for people to recognize all these stars for what they have to offer through music. Mannion also provides good insights about his cameras and how his passion of hip-hop has come into play in his career.
