San Diego based photographer Tim Mantoani has been working on a mammoth archival portrait project and has captured over 150 of the most influential photographers of our time featuring their most iconic images in hand.
Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving.
What you have caught on film is captured forever...it remembers
little things, long after you have forgotten everything.
Aaron Siskind
“Behind Photographs: Archiving Photographic Legends” is a large format, 212 page document that celebrates the images and image makers who inspired our times over the past seven generations. Tim has traveled coast to coast to archive Jim Marshall (Johnny Cash), Steve McCurry (National Geographic), Ozzie Sweet (Einstein), William Wegman (and his dogs), and hundreds more capturing the stars—Beatles, Marilyn Monroe, Jimi Hendrix and capturing time—important moments in our history over the past 75 years.
You are cordially invited to join in, take a close look and participate in the “Behind Photographs” archival project. “Behind Photographs” by Tim Mantoani is currently available through Kick Starter, offering the standard and limited edition volumes.

Thursday, October 27 at Ogilvy and Mather in NY between 46—47, marks the book launch and introduction of this project from 7—9PM.
