🫨🫨🫨🫨 Wowwwwwww! I just found out that @ryanmcginleystudios released a book of photos and interviews from his “Yearbook” era and my goofy face is one of many featured on this beautiful cover. 🥹❤️ I have to say, even though this shoot was short and sweet, it was life changing. He casted me after seeing my IG and then invited me to his studio when I was in New York for a weekend. We chatted for a bit about his work, Toronto, and our mutual friend Will Munro (RIP ❤️❤️❤️), and then we began shooting. Ryan and @luisa_opalesky immediately made me feel so comfortable in my body. Believe it or not, I had never been fully nude on camera before this shoot with Ryan, so I was nervous. This headshot he used from the shoot is so silly and captures my energy perfectly. The earrings I’m wearing in the shot were my favourite at the time. I got drunk and lost them at @moodringnyc the following night lolol 🤪🤪 Who knew this one photo would become part of a bigger exhibition that would be in gallery spaces all around the world. And now…..it’s a book!!!!!! So cool!!!! 📚❤️ We took that photo in 2017!!!! So many years later, this photo means the world to me and I’ll never forget the kindness Ryan showed me. We all know he’s the GOAT in the photography world, but he’s also just a really sweet guy who reminded me early on to tap into those things that made me special and express them on camera. This shoot helped slowly awaken a much more happy, sexy, and confident Max. I’ll never forget this day!! Love u Ryan! Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
