Ryan McGinley Quotes

A lot of my close friends have committed suicide or died of heroin overdoses Picture Quote #1

The cool part about New York is that you can do that. You can talk to all the people you admire Picture Quote #1

I slowly began making a few photos with animals over the years, and I liked how people reacted to them. When I would have the animals on set, I’d notice the way the models would interact with them and there was so much true emotion that you rarely see between two human beings Picture Quote #1

I knew my ticket out of the suburbs was art school, so I worked really hard to develop my portfolio and get a scholarship Picture Quote #1

A lot of people, even my parents, thought, Art school, I don’t know. We’ll support you but the success rate for artists is really slim Picture Quote #1

My photographs are a celebration of life, fun and the beautiful. They are a world that doesn’t exist. A fantasy. Freedom is real. There are no rules. The life I wish I was living Picture Quote #1

All my work, really, is based on my brothers and sisters. I had so many adventures with them and a big part of the work is to recreate those. It’s easy for me to be around a lot of people, because I can retreat. I can watch everything Picture Quote #1

I just remember how excited I was to have a boyfriend and be in love and to document it Picture Quote #1

Everyone I’m photographing, I feel like I’m remaking a family, in a way. My brothers and sisters are my heroes. So many of my models resemble them Picture Quote #1

I have a really big family, and pretty much all my work is about my brothers and sisters. I’m the youngest of eight - my mom had seven kids in seven years, and then she had me 11 years later - so I was basically raised by all these teenagers Picture Quote #1

The cool thing for me about moving to New York was that I got to create a new family Picture Quote #1

From 8 to 19, I was skateboarding every single day. That was my life. I worked at a skate shop. I watched skate videos Picture Quote #1

I think the driving force when I moved to New York was the fear of going home with my tail between my legs Picture Quote #1

I can work with shyness, but for the most part I want people to feel comfortable with me. It’s really more about the photographer feeing comfortable right when they walk in that makes the subject feel comfortable Picture Quote #1

Actually, I didn’t study photography at first. I went to school for painting my first year, poetry my second year, graphic design my third and fourth year, and photography my fifth Picture Quote #1

I put all of my time into art because I couldn’t go back to Jersey and work at Starbucks Picture Quote #1

I’m interested in reaching the masses with my work. It’s one of my goals Picture Quote #1

I was never told, Fags are going to hell. You just didn’t talk about it Picture Quote #1

Most of the e-mails I get nowadays are from students who ask me how I got my start. In truth its from having a really supportive family but also having a good patron who will help you - like financing all those early trips I took Picture Quote #1

All I do is make photos. It’s my life Picture Quote #1

I have absolutely no interest in creating depressing images Picture Quote #1

I’m just a photographer, not a movie star Picture Quote #1

I’m always interested in an atmosphere where dreams and reality mingle on equal terms Picture Quote #1

It’s weird being a photographer because you really have to divorce yourself from the image Picture Quote #1

You have to be able to observe life as if you were a camera all the time, constantly looking at light and the way that things are placed and the way people hold themselves. You need the ability to see something in someone or something that no one else really sees and be able to bring that to light. Basically, you have to be an obsessive crazy person Picture Quote #1
