13th Witness, aka Timothy McGurr, captures what captures him. As the man behind the camera, McGurr scored an ultra-exclusive photo shoot with Jay-Z, DJ Neil Armstrong, and The Roc Boys at the rehearsal for their performances surrounding Barack Obama’s presidential inauguration. With an eye for angles, 13th Witness tends to seize the silent-but-strong moments, and these behind-the-scenes photos are proof; place a brand logo on any image and you’ve got Jay’s next Rocawear ad. On the brink of a potentially nerve-racking performance—his wife broke down to tears—Jay looks every bit the calm and collected in these black-and-whites—as expected.
