“I really have no clue how to use cameras or lighting. I never formally studied photography. I studied graphic design, so I’m very makeshift with lights and I’m constantly looking at my cameras trying to figure out what’s going on. I’m also a master at breaking cameras. I’m always getting them wet or dropping them. What I really like is when things are easy and the camera is just an extension of my hand.”
—Ryan McGinley
“It’s really a world – you have to remember that. People look at photographs and believe them as truth and they always will. People look at my photographs and think this is real – this life exists. Even if they know that it doesn’t.”
—Ryan McGinley, Believer Magazine (February ’08 issue)
