For every famous photograph, there is a photographer unseen behind the camera. Tim Mantoani puts 150 of these incredible artists in front of the camera in his new book Behind Photographs: Archiving Photographic Legends. Included in the book are Neil Leifer, the photographer behind the famous Ali v. Liston photo in 1965; Jeff Widener, the man responsible for the iconic Tiananmen Square Tank Man photo; and Jim Marshall, who took the image of Johnny Cash that has been plastered on a wealth of graphic T-shirts since. Take a look at some of the participants above and buy the book online from here.
