Photography: Craig McDean captures the near-uncapturable Thom Yorke

Date
19 July 2013

It’s not exactly weird that Interview Magazine have done a cracking photo shoot for one of their famous Q&A’s, it happens so frequently that it’s almost taken for granted. In this particularly spectacular shoot, photographer Craig McDean has managed to get Thom Yorke into a room and capture the man himself doing what he does best — being simultaneously, effortlessly beautiful and weird. Compared to the borderline-hysterical photoshoots from the 90s which managed to capture the band’s cool, moody status, this more grown up look at Thom Yorke is a perfect series of portraits of one of the most influential men in the history of music, and it’s all down to the incredibly clever Craig McDean. Check out the rest of his star-filled portfolio over on Art + Commerce
