ARCHIVE FOR APRIL, 2010

 

 

 A few nights ago, New York City was blessed with the presence of one of the greats in reggae music, Grammy award winning, Sean Paul.

 

For the last decade he’s been pumping out tune after tune to keep the party live. I had the pleasure of hanging out with SP for 2 nights dashing around from club to club as he sent the crowds into a frenzy.

 

With a fresh new “Duttyhawk” he delivered a set of his classic tunes from Manhattan to Long Island to Queens at one point jumping on stage with the legendary Shabba Ranks . I wanted to document this journey and here are some of the results… I don’t want to reveal too many of them, but stay tuned to Sean Paul’s site, I’m sure that you’ll be seeing some of the incredible footage that I shot of him ripping the stage.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock on on a polar ice cap for the past few years, there is a little show on the CW about aspiring models and their quest to gain the top prize of becoming AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL.Our boy Jonathan Mannion was asked to shoot for this incredible reality show not once but twice this season.  First for the “fade out” image you see every episode - where the girls fade into the mist after being ejected from the show. Then a second time for the “Drecktitude” episode in which the lovely ladies must post nude for the first time on the show.Here is a peek at the episode 2 “Drecktitude” (Jonathan pops up around 3 minutes in):

We’ve also learned that Mannion family favorite, hip hop legend and DJ extraordinare D-Nice will be appearing on the show tonight at 8:00pm. Please tune in and support the family.We had the pleasure last Friday to see D here in studio and Jonathan shot a few portraits of him. Here is a taste of that shoot.
