The reason a lot of people don’t like his work is because it is surprisingly "soft" against the image the boys have as the wild dudes from NY. It has a very strong signature and different to Dash’s or Dan’s work.So let’s take the dude as he is or who he is.

why are some people so upset that someones done something?! you can be a critic without sounding like someone who was brought up not to have conversations with the human race!

I wouldn’t expect half of you to have the mental capacity to see anything except blonde hair, pearly teeth and big boobs beautiful. You are making a mockery of this comment board. Do everyone a favour and go and read a book. Mcginley has captured the essence of contemporary androgany. Yes, there have been many before him, and yes, there will be many after him, but the point is that his work is beautiful and until you are making a small fortune selling prints, nobody gives a fuck about your opinion.

Way to go with the bigoted comments - doing your bit to prove to the world that US citizens can still thrill with their inanity in the post-Bush era. The photography is clearly outstanding and the subjects are beautiful, wild, sexy. Yum!(I’m from England, dontcha know)

you haters can hate. i like mcginley and i don’t give one kit or kaboodle about his "lifestyle" or who he’s friends with. i know some of you genuinely don’t like his style. that’s great. but i think some of you are jealous of the perceived fun ryan has. that’s just stupid.

I can see McGinley cackling to himself like a Bond villain.

"Ha ha ha! The idiots! They’re still paying me to take crap, blurry photos of naked young girls. And those people at Vice totally fell for it."

The Modern Art market is, and always has been, driven by marketing rather than talent... (which is not to say that there aren’t some very talented artists out there)

someone that knows more about photography than you, obviously. mcginley has been exhibited all over the world. i guess those museum directors and curators don’t know what they’re doing either.

"I don’t know why the world wants to suck this guy off. Seriously. What the hell am I missing. For example his concert series where he followed Morrisey or whoever the fuck it was around for a long time. I look at those photos and say to myself...you were on tour for how long and this is all you got? Fuck, if I was there and looked at my take and saw those photos in my camera I would delete them. Instead he gets them hung in the National fucking Portrait Gallery. WHAT THE FUCK!

Then his summer series. Wow, you hired a shitload of models, and drove them across country with a multi thousand dollar budget to come back with photos that every college kid gets during a summer of partying. Wow, so fucking talented.

You want talent. Go look up some working photojournalists. Fuckers can go out and make a photo worthy of a gallery from some of the lamest events ever 3 times a day, day in and day out. No paid models, no set up scenes, no hoards of assistants. "

show us your photos then mate

nice job, jack. i think some of his detractors want more variation in his work, but sometimes if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it is the way to go. i think his images have such a soft quality that i’ll never tire of them, but there’s always time to change my mind.

I tried to write a coherent and unbiased assessment of McGinley on my blog - www.jackcullen.blogspot.com

There’s something magnetic and spiritual about his work, but I can certainly empathise with the criticism.
