Breaking Through by Ryan McGinley
February 11, 2008 // Photography

Continuing the pimping (not in the Chelsea kind of way) of Hollywood’s actors and Oscar nominees, NY Times Magazine has an article featuring the people they thought were the breakthrough actors of 2007. Along with it though are some wonderful photos taken by one of my faves, Ryan McGinley. Overall the photos aren’t his best, it kind of feels like he made them a little more mainstream and a little less conceptual. But it’s also kind of cool to see him shooting big name actors and actresses.

There’s also a behind the scenes video of sorts that gives a look at the shoot. It’s kind of interesting to see, but nothing too crazy.
I’ve also posted more photos from the shoot under the cut, so check those out too.

  2. Yeah, I saw these the other day and loved them… they’re not totally unique or anything, but I think they’re really nice for celebrity portraits.
