Tim Mentoani project “Behind the Scenes”

Tim Mantoani of San Diego decided to show the world the faces of famous authors’ photos. His album ‘Behind Photographs: Archiving Photographic Legends’ contains portraits of famous photographers and their work. Tim, the last five years was shooting these portraits, says that now, when everyone can be a photographer, it is important to show people that the legendary images are not obtained by chance. Featuring the face of professional photographers, Tim gives them a tribute of respect that they deserve.
