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. Ryan McGinley adventurebasebig share on social

I don't want to be an artist that gets stuck doing one thing. I don't want to be an artist who people look back at and say, 'His early work was really great.' Ryan McGinley artistbackearly Change image and share on social
I want to venture into film more, and I think that a nice way to transition into doing that would be a documentary.

Just having the camera, being able to pull back from situations and be an observer, it saved my life... I realised I could find these intimate moments and that people trusted me. That, basically, my camera was magic. Ryan McGinley backbasicallycamera share on social
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. Ryan McGinley comfortablefeeingfeel share on social
