Life

McGinley is the youngest of eight siblings. When he was 17 years old, his brother Michael died of complications from AIDS. This event shaped his photography: "My work is also a reaction to his death, an attempt to celebrate life." He has lived in Manhattan since the 1990s and studied graphic design at the Parsons School of Design . During this time he began to record Polaroids from his friends and acquaintances from the skateboarder, sprayer and gay scene. An artistic circle of friends, called the Bowery School by New York Magazine , emerged, which included McGinley, Dash Snow and Dan Colen .

After his handmade photo book for The Kids are Alright in 2002 caused a sensation in the art world, an exhibition curated by Sylvia Wolf followed in 2003 at the Whitney Museum of American Art . Sylvia Wolf saw in The Kids are Alright "an honest and life-affirming portrait of the current youthful subculture." At the age of 25, McGinley was the youngest artist to whom the Whitney dedicated a solo exhibition. In the same year he was named Photographer of the Year by American Photo Magazine .

After 2003, the previous snapshots of his friends became increasingly carefully arranged productions. In the summers of 2005 and 2006 he traveled with friends through the USA and photographed them, often naked, at campsites, in motels and in nature.

The image Highway from this series was used in the same year by Sigur Rós as the cover for her album Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust .
