Ryan Mcginley wins Cannes Lions, Press Grand Prix

This years press Grand Prix was won by FFL Paris for its Wrangler campaign shot by the photographer many seem to love to hate, Ryan McGinley. I have to admit when I first saw Ryan's work I wasn't so sure about it. But Ryan has won me over with work like this. Sure not everything he makes is a winner in my book but it seems like he works really hard and consistently and eventually pulls through some gems.
