Ryan McGinley Slows His Roll

October 22nd, 2009 by brandi

Over the years Ryan McGinley has perfected the snapshot, capturing sublime moments of beauty from a world that seems to be in fast forward.  His subjects are joyfully suspended with perfect grace while running, jumping, falling and splashing.

Moonmilk” is McGinley’s latest body of work, and it’s slow like honey.  All of the 24 photographs are taken inside caves, a  surreal environment which dwarfs and embraces his ever-present nude subjects.  In a feature by the Guardian UK he describes his change of pace:  “I’ve never worked so hard on anything in my life.  The preparation that went into [the shoot] was immense. I had to slow everything down – the exposures, the sitting times for the models, the lighting, everything … it was like an opera.

Here’s a sampling of “Moonmilk,” view more at his site.
