Respect The Shooter.

If your familiar with Hip Hop culture, you have to be familiar with Johnathan Mannion. The man behind the lenses, he is the photographer responsible for some of hip hop’s most iconic album covers and pictures.

Responsible for various album covers, like Jay Z’s Reasonable Doubt to Game’s Documentary, Johnathan Mannion is a fixture implanted in our culture.  For more than 20 years, he has been shooting some of the best pictures, to say the least and his archive can be considered a hip hop museum. As of today, he officially closes up shop to his New York Studio and Revolt TV is there to document it.

Watch the video below, as he discusses some of his best shots.
