Junior Seau – RIP

Tim Mantoani — Thu, 03 May 2012 00:11:37 +0000

I was very saddened to hear the news about Junior today. He was one of the first professional athletes I photographed when I moved to San Diego in the early 90′s and my athlete portraits have hung in his Mission Valley restaurant since it opened. Junior had a wonderful smile and was always a pleasure to have in the studio, he will be missed.

A Little Love From Gisele

Tim Mantoani — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 05:01:08 +0000

My book, Behind Photographs, got a plug on Gisele’s fan page. Gisele appears in the book in a photo by Walter Chin. Wonder if she knows her husband, Tom Brady, and I attended the same highschool?

LAVA – Heather Jackson

I shot the new cover of LAVA in San Diego with triathlete Heather Jackson. Always nice to see an art director use the photos well and let the images speak.

Tom Zimberoff

I received a wonderful email from Tom Zimberoff this week that included several images he shot back in the 70′s of a few of the photographers in Behind Photographs. I photographed Tom in San Francisco with his fantastic photograph of Indian Larry, just weeks prior to his accidental death. I asked Tom if it would be OK to share these images on my blog and he gladly agreed. He even shared a portrait of himself shot by Douglas Kirkland in the 70′s as well. Enjoy!

Behind Photographs – NYC Book Release Party

Tim Mantoani and Douglas Kirkland

I was blown away with the group that showed up at Ogilvy to support the release of Behind Photographs. It was great to reconnect with 29 of the photographers that are in the book and a couple hundred other supporters that braved the rain and wind. Here are a few pics from the party. I should have books in San Diego soon and will be posting info on book events in San Diego, LA and San Francisco. Thanks again to everyone that has supported and encouraged me over the past five years to see this project through to publication.

Zach Parise and Mike Cammalleri

A few months back I spent the day in Northern California with Zach Parise and Mike Cammalleri as they toured Easton Bell and got to see how helmets are made. Here are a few screen grabs from the new website. Both of these guys are great to work with.

Lou and Kevin Durant at an NBA Rookie Shoot

It was very sad news last week to hear of the passing of Lou Capozzola, a great SI shooter and a great guy. I had the pleasure of shooting along side of Lou at several Upper Deck shoots and was always a fan of his amazing eye. Please take a moment to pay tribute and view his gallery on SI.com.
