A word with Joseph Lally “Ryan”

Two of my favorite people in modeling have recently collaborated on an incredible project.

Photographer Joseph Lally and Model Ryan Winter have created some amazing work for a book called “Ryan” that will be published by The Club of Men Editions. A word with Joseph Lally “Ryan” - PnV Network

Obviously Ryan Winter is the muse. I asked Joseph to give me some insight to the project, his views on photography and social media and working with Ryan.

Interview with Joseph Lally

CC: How has photography changed as an art form in today’s current digital world?

JL: The amount of image making has extended greatly and because of Instagram, the accessibility has also, and in some ways, makes images less “sacred”, special, more disposable. That is why I think doing a print edition is important, to regain its specialness.

CC: What are the pros and cons of using Instagram as the go to source?

JL: The pro is the potential for a larger audience and the swiftness of it, The negative is that it becomes cannibalistic, in that a constant feed is craved. There is a numbing factor when there is sensory overload. people are looking at so many images on their phones, very little time to digest.

CC: Tell me about the nature of beauty in these images as a replacement for the art of statues in the Greco Roman era.

JL: In a sense, they are a replacement in essence. The images in the print book RYAN, represent classic as well as idealized beauty, something to dream about.
CC: How would you describe your personal style of photography?
