LEBRON JAMES BY JONATHAN MANNION

In honor of LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers Championship quest this playoff season. We would live to feature a photo by "The Dean's List" family member Jonathan Mannion. As you can see King James looks focused in this pic. Let's hope he maintains this focus until he is holding up the Larry Obrien trophy at season's end.

JONATHAN MANNION FOR K-SWISS & RESPECT MAGAZINE

If you haven’t picked up a copy of RESPECT Magazine yet, you must not be a card carrying member of the hip hop generation. For those who don’t know, RESPECT Magazine, is an amazing, and rare, blend of equal appreciation for both the music itself and the amazing photographers who’ve shaped the way we look at hip hop.

Photo edited by the insanely talented Sally Berman, this magazine doesn’t focus on the tabloid gossip of hip hop, but the amazing blend of artists that come together to make this culture something to cherish. Hip hop isn’t dead y’all, its alive and kicking on the pages of RESPECT.

Recently the magazine partnered up with K-SWISS and asked 4 legendary photographers to define the meaning of the word “Classic” through self-portrait, video and written word. Check out a bit of the campaign here, and for even more go pick up a copy of RESPECT Magazine currently on stands now.

Jonathan Mannion is hands down the most celebrated and sought after photographer amongst the hip-hop culture. Hey, his name alone has become a household brand with aspiring rappers who are adjusting the pro-tools in their moms' basement hoping to one day have his name grace the inside cover of their cd jacket and kids who are shooting 500 jumpers a day on the city playgrounds looking to one day grace the cover of SLAM magazine. I believe that one day his portraits will hang over the fireplace and mantels in the homes throughout our generation. But only is Mr. Mannion credited for hip-hop portraits, he is also a video director (which most of you don't know...lol) shooting for more of your favorites like Jasmine Sullivan (I Need You), J Holiday (Suffocate), The Game (One Blood), and more.

Jonathan Mannion in conjunction with The Dean's List blog and Dean Brand Marketing, LLC. will be looking to bring you a cutting edge and creative outlook on the imagery of Advertising. With Mannions' eye and Dean Brand Marketings' left field approach to the Marketing and Advertising, we look to provide readers with one of a kind attractive but yet informational content for the continuation of advancing the industry.

A PICTURE IS WORTH A 1,000 WORDS

While on the set of a high profile a artist photoshoot which I can not name at the present time, I had the honor of meeting and talking to Jonathan Mannion. The highly sought after photographer who is also getting his stock up in video directing. Mannion has great understanding of the artist in which he in shooting, everything from their enviornment to their music and everything that makes them who they are from the type of weed they smoke to the type of guns they tote.

Just know that if you want a Mannion album cover. CUT THE CHECK
