Aaliyah, New York, NY, 2001

The detail in Jonathan Mannion’s portrait is so sharp that you can feel the late-night energy of that 2001 NYC session. The print arrived well-protected and the 11x14 proportions make it a solid statement piece without overwhelming my desk.

The 11x14 framing is perfect for my hallway, and Mannion captured that 2001 New York vibe so clearly you can almost hear the city around her. The open edition print quality holds up beautifully up close, no blur or pixelation anywhere.

The grain in this print is sharp enough that I keep noticing new details in her expression every time I walk past it. 11x14 is a solid presence on the wall without overwhelming the room, and the open edition framing feels like a proper piece of music history.
