the breakthrough

James McAvoy, Julie Christie, and Josh Brolin
photographed by Ryan McGinley
for The New York Times Magazine


Over the past few years The New York Times Magazine has celebrated the best performances of the year with a spread photographed by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin. Each portrait embodied the essence of the star's presence married with a slight glint of their memorable screen incarnation. This year the actors featured in the portfolio were photographed by Ryan McGinley, lending a pastoral and melancholy tone to the issue. The three above are my favorite, but for the remainder of the portfolio, click here.
