This time I'm going modern, people! Ryan McGinley is one of the most influential young photographers. He uses mostly young models, and they hardly wear anything more than their own pubes. Placed in a background of uninterrupted nature, smoke machines and fireworks, it results in an ethereal world of unspoiled beauty and a strange innocence. He spent the whole summer working on his new project "I Know Where the Summer Goes", on the road with his crew of young models, touring through the American landscape. It's now on display in Team Gallery in NY, so buy your plainticket now, and buy me one too while your at it!
This piece is called 'Falling (Cornfield)'. 2007.
While he said in the past that he wasn't into doing fashion photography, I suspect money has seduced him into a few photoshoots. He's responsible for my favourite Kate Moss shoot ever,'Dream Girl' from W, June 2007.
