Unless you’re a photography buff, you probably have no idea what the people behind some of the most famous photos in the world actuall look like. US photographer Tim Mantoani, however, aims to fix all that with his epic “Behind Photographs” series.
It all started in 2006, when Mantoani rented a 20×24 Polaroid camera (itself an extraordinary rarity) to shoot portraits of Jim Marshall and Michael Zagaris. Since then, he has photographed more than 150 other photographers and the photos that made them famous. Their photos have been viewed by millions, and some are considered the defining representations of the historic events or people that they’ve captured. The portrait series is available in book form on Amazon.
The Polaroid 20×24 Mantoani used is an instant camera that produces plates of 20 inches by 24 (appr. 50cm x 60cm). The camera weights 235 pounds (106kg) and has its own custom wheeled tripod.
