An interview with fashion photographer Ryan Michael Kelly

State your full name?

Ryan Michael Kelly

Where do you hail from?
Born in Ohio, then moved to Texas, Wisconsin, New York, Illinois, Kansas, finally in NYC 2000.

It seems you have done a lot at such a young age. Could you tell us a bit about your journey from the time you picked up a camera to working in the fashion industry?
I moved from Kansas to the NYC to attend the School of Visual Arts. I knew at the age of 14 that I was going to be a fashion photographer, I had already started collecting Italian Vogue in Kansas. I wanted to be a painter but photography gave me instant relief. In one day I could shoot, develop, contact print, and then make final prints by midnight. Loved it.

Who were your influences?
My mom sent me to the Borders and Barnes and Noble with money to buy some books of the work that I felt I wanted to make and or loved. I think I came back with a either Hotel LaChapelle or LaChapelle Land, whichever came first and Avedons the sixties and Michel Comte's book. She looked through and said you picked all fashion people.....

What motivated you then and what motivates you now?
I was still a little naive then, I really loved David LaChapelle, I still due but for totally different reasons now. But, motivation now comes from the drive of really loving deep down the idea of making images that do not exist. The idea of learning from my mistakes, and the idea of one day having the opportunity to make only what I want to make. There are too many things that motivate me to name them all...

What makes a great photo session?
Great collaborations for sure. I couldn't do anything without a great model, stylist, hair or make-up.

How long do they last?
An hour to 20 hours I think is my longest. Of course shoots go on for multiple days.

Is there music on the set?
Always, whether I like it or not, most of the time I let the model put on the ipod so they are happy.

Now bringing back to the theme of the blog I like to know about your musical taste. What's playing on your ipod right now?
My ipod's (1 touch, 2 Classic, 2 shuffles, Droid) are all over the place. I stay pretty up to date with music for the most part. I have always considered music the greatest form of art. So I have everything, from Pantera to Pure Moods. Nine Inch Nails is my drug, Trent Reznor is my most favorite musician of all time. Complete and udder genius hands down.Tricky and Bjork would be tied for a close second. Right this second, I guess what is somewhat new on my ipod would be, Sleigh Bells, Lil Wayne, Kanye West, Black Keys, Yeasayer, the walkmen, Kid Cudi, maybe too many to name.

You work with some of the most beautiful subjects in the world. Are there any names we should look out for?
Hmmmmm too many again to name, but I just saw on TV an ad for a new Adam Sandler movie and Brooklyn Decker one of the sweetest models that I have ever worked with is one of the stars of this movie. Its great to see very real very genuine people move on up.

and finally what's the last movie that didn't waste your time?
Hahaha I am a documentary whore. I watch about 3-12 a week. I have the netflix watch it now. I spend a lot of time editing, so I have a second monitor for constant stimulation. I love Collapse (the doc), just enjoy people with strong opinions...
