On Alexander McQueen's birthday, we're revisiting Ann Ray's massive archive of McQueen pics:
— the annual photography festival in the South of France — Ray used both large and small formats to examine aspects of the designer’s larger-than-life output, from his exquisite craftsmanship to his dramatic leitmotifs of birds and angels. If McQueen was the visionary, Ray’s vision was the means to chronicle it. Sitting at a café in Paris, she discussed geographical overlap, mourning, and, above all, celebrating creativity.
We never spoke that much, but were so strongly connected. He’s always been so gentle with me. He knew he could trust me. We did a few portraits sessions. After ten images, he would say: ‘Are you done?!’ He didn't like himself. He would say ‘What can I do with this face? Make me beautiful.’ He was uncomfortable, shy, reserved. But apart from that, he was challenging everybody. That was so enjoyable. Backstage is a nightmare for photographers.
