- Leica Society proudly presents “Constantine Manos - 5 Photographs and the Stories Behind Them.” In this series, we sit down with experts in Leica Camera buying, collecting, shooting, editing, and more! We ask them to share their experience and insights. Watch and learn about Constantine Manos's introduction to photography, his defining style, and the stories behind some of his best-known images.
Constantine Manos was born in Columbia, South Carolina, U.S.A., of Greek immigrant parents. His photographic career began in the school camera club at the age of thirteen, and within several years he was a working professional. He graduated from the University of South Carolina with a B.A. in English Literature. At the age of nineteen, he was hired as the official photographer of the Boston Symphony Orchestra at its summer festival at Tanglewood.
In 1963, Manos joined Magnum Photos. Manos’s photographs are in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the Art Institute of Chicago; the Bibliothéque Nationale, Paris; George Eastman House, Rochester, NY; the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; and the Benaki Museum, Athens. In 2003 Manos was awarded the Leica Medal of Excellence for his pictures from American Color.

More videos like this one with legendary photographers like Manos! Thanks!
Many years ago I took a workshop at the Maine Photography Workshops with Costa. He changed how I made photographs. He is an amazing photographer and patient teacher. This video is pure Costa. He is humble and kind and so very talented. He deserves to be much better known.
We couldn't agree with you more - such an icon!
We, The Leica society members, Know him and respect him. And whoever doesn't know him - It's their pure loss. I would have loved to have studied with him. Maybe online course as I'm from outside the US.
Wonderful video, wonderful character and wonderful photos, all created with little equipment but a lot of talent!
Loving these, good work, well done!
Outstanding! Love the photos and the background stories. Not sure how this could possibly get a "thumbs down" but "to each his own". Thanks you for sharing!
So glad you enjoyed!
80 years old living in Columbia, SC near Ft. Jackson. Enjoy your art. Charles Rankin.
Great images and very good photographer! Thanks for posting; very inspiring.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I would love to see more videos like this. Thank you. A little command, show your photos longer on the whole screen, we still can here your interesting commands.
Yes, indeed, please think about the composition. Manos is a charming fellow, but we would still prefer to look at his wonderful photos, full screen, while he tells us about them.
Awesome video. Very inspirational.
Thanks so much!

Correction , HCB used a 50mm lens
I'd be grateful if you'd list, say, three things that all "good" photographs have in common. When you're looking at a photograph, what makes you say: "Ah, that's a good one!"
Thank you for the recommendation!
Spanish pleaseeeee
