Ryan McGinley was born on October 17, 1977 in Ramsey, NJ. He now is based in New York City. He showcased his works in solo and group exhibitions around the states and all around the world. From Greece, England, and Portugal, his work has traveled nations. He has worked with various celebrities for a shoot of breakthrough actors and actresses. He was the youngest photographer to have a solo show at the Whitney and won the young photographer award from the International Center for Photography in 2007. Each summer, he fills up his Volkswagen Eurobus with young twenty-photographs them in various situations, usually nude. His images have a film feel to them; his colors are one of the strongest aspects of his work. They have an almost polaroid-esque color scheme, which gives his images a very powerful style. Some of his best compositions are the simplest ones of one figure juxtaposed against a huge, expansive background of sand, sky, or whatever. His photographs deal with youth, sexuality, comfort levels, and a sense of joy and adventure.
