American, 1920-2001
Born 1920, Manhattan, New York

Born to Romanian Jewish parents, Manning grew up on New York's Lower East Side and in the Bronx, and began photographing when he was fourteen. He met Harold Corsini at Stuyvesant High School, where they ran the student camera club together. Manning joined the Photo League with Corsini in 1937, and they were both recruited to work on Aaron Siskind's Harlem Document project, an extended photo-documentation of Harlem made by a group of ten photographers between 1936 and 1940. He also worked on the Feature Group project Park Avenue: North and South (1937) and participated in print competitions. Manning attended City College of New York for one year before serving as a war correspondent in South America, the Panama Canal zone, and the Caribbean during World War II. After the war, he freelanced for Life, Look, Colliers, The Saturday Evening Post, and The New York Times, where he later worked as a staff photographer (1964–2000) until just before his death.
