Description
Known for his outdoor photography of young people cavorting in the nude, McGinley s YEARBOOK ventures into the artist s studio, creating more intimate portraits almost character studies–of his models. The project was initiated in 2010, before the advent of Instagram, which is now the most important platform for sharing his work and connecting with fans. His subjects are often friends or part of his extended community of artists, creatives, and street kids exude candid awareness of the camera, creating powerful, alluring images that define a new-bohemian coterie. As a master chronicler of downtown New York City for two decades, McGinley captures the lives of the young and restless, earning acclaim as the voice of his generation and indelibly capturing the millennial zeitgeist. The book will feature brief interviews with many of the models discussing their lives and what they do. And cult film director John Waters will pen the foreword.
