James M. Mannas

James "Jimmie" Mannas Jr. (born September 15, 1941) is an African American photographer, film director, cinematographer, and screenwriter. He is one of the fifteen founding members of the Kamoinge Workshop (1963), which evolved from the union of Kamoinge and Group 35, two groups of African American photographers based in New York City. His black-and-white photography depicts African American New York City street life, avant-garde jazz musicians, dancers, portraits, landscapes, and post-colonial Guyana. T.T. Griffith Archives, a New York-based archivist, preserves a large number of Mannas' photography.
