Connected as Tim Mantoani (1310 friends)
Tim Mantoani is a San Diego based photographer. His credits include Sports Illustrated, Newsweek and ESPN The Magazine, as well as ad campaigns for Coca-Cola, EA Sports and Coors Brewing. Today, when Tim’s not shooting on assignment, he’s documenting venerable lens men who have collectively captured decades of culture and celebrity with their own cameras. Each image features a photographer holding their most iconic or favorite image. Legendary rock photographers Jim Marshall and Ethan Russell have sat for 20 x 24-inch Polaroid portraits, as have Walter Iooss, Steve McCurry, Mary Ellen Mark, Elliott Erwitt and Roberto Salas. Tim’s enthusiasm for the medium of photography is undiminished by the changes he’s seen during his career. For him it’s not work so much as a mission: He sees the story there in each face, and in each place and lives to gives them voice through his work.
My book arrived, and it's gorgeous -- and fascinating. Thanks for undertaking this wonderful project!
Tim - I've left several emails that I would like the Men's XL t-shirt. Because this site won't allow me to "submit" without noting a women's size also. So I put L but actually want the Men's XL. Hope that makes sense. Thank you again!

This project is a beautiful labor of love and document.
Collaborating with Tim Mantoani on the design was an honor. Can't wait to see the book unfold and be received in NY and then back home in SD. Many years in the making, amazing group of photographers who inspired generations through their imagery. Tim put 1000000% into it and all of the photographer entries are featured.
This sounds amazing! Will the stories the photographers wrote under their pictures be included in the book as well? That would make this project 10 times more awesome. ^_^
