Photographer Recreates Famous Portraits With John Malkovich As His Model
Famous photographer Sandro Miller has worked together with legendary Hollywood star John Malkovich many times, but when Miller wanted to celebrate the portrait photography greats that had inspired and guided him, he had to do something special. So he, with the famous actor as his dashing unisex model, recreated some of those influential photographers’ most important portraits in a photo series called “Malkovich, Malkovich, Malkovich: Homage to photographic masters.”
The series puts both Miller’s exceptional photography and Malkovich’s masterful acting talents front and center. Miller gets each amazing photographic portrait’s lighting, mood and composition down perfectly, while Malkovich replicates the subject’s emotions and expressions so perfectly that the photos become nearly indistinguishable, regardless of the age or gender of the original subject. And it was all done without Photoshop! Check some of the best photos below and tell us what you think about this project.

I was there on set to witness this master at work…. I love that it’s still be written about, still touring and always inspiring… his preparation for this shoot, because of limited time with John Malkovich was extensive and made the seemingly impossible task fun. I’ll never forget it. That experience changed my life.
