Reasonable Doubt is as iconic for its songs as it is for its cover, which features a coming of age Jay-Z donned in a pinstripe suit, cigar in tow. While Mr. Carter himself is responsible for the album content, it was a young Jonathan Mannion behind the lens of the now legendary photograph. In fact, Mannion is responsible for many of the best portraits of our favorite artists and athletes. Skillshare, the recently developed online class platform, now gives users the exciting opportunity to take a live class with Mannion and study the basics of photography. The full-scale lesson takes students through all the phases, from gathering inspiration to setting up your camera. You can find more information on the class at Skillshare.
