I could talk about the fascinating life of Ryan McGinley for ages. But if there’s anything more interesting than his past, then it’s got to be his talent for photography.
In my opinion, his picture book “You and I” is one of the most honest, intimate and electrifying works ever to be published in recent times. “You and I” is filled with photos that represent an entirely contemporary, unique sort of nude photography, one characterized by a very distinct definition of aesthetic. Young people play the protagonists in his surreal scenes – they might be pretty, but they’re never outstandingly beautiful.
Nevertheless, those immaculate girls and boys have all been graced with a captivating charisma. In order to do their beauty justice, McGinley has incorporated their naked bodies into magnificent and magical moments, which have then captured in his wonderful photos.
Ryan McGinley has chosen mostly to portray his friends and acquaintances in his photos, which explains their intimate flair. His works tread a fine line between erotica and art, and they are extremely beautiful and seductive in a truly distinctive way.
