Ormond Gigli was born in New York City in  1925. He passed on December 12, 2029 in West Stockbridge, MA. He became famous in the 1950’s. His specialty was photographs of places, dance, persons and theater. In 1960 Gigli shot his famous photograph, “Girls in the Windows” in New York City, NY. Noticing that the building across the street from his studio on East 58th street was about to be demolished, Gigli received permission to shoot the building during the workers’ lunch break. He found models including his wife and they posed through the paneless windows.

In 2006 US photographer Tim Mantoani who lived in San Diego, California began his series “Behind Photographs.” Born on January 12, 1969, he passed of cancer at an early age of 47 in 2016. Mantoani traveled the world for 5 years photographing 158 famous photographers alongside their famous photographs.  Using 20 x 24 Polaroid camera to complete the task,  each photographer was asked to write a description under their photograph.
