Many thanks to Matthes Rolston for sharing one of his portraits of Keanu on twitter. The portrait was part of the photoshoot that accompanied Dennis Cooper’s interview for Interview Magazine in 1990. The following was posted with the photo.
“Equal parts sex symbol, madman, oaf, and overgrown kid,” is how writer Dennis Cooper describes a young Keanu Reeves in the
#interview accompanying Matthew’s shoot for@interviewmag. A perfect description of Matthew’s visual approach.
Update: Many thanks to matthewrolstonstudio for sharing another portrait on instagram from the same photoshoot. The following was posted with the photo:
“Training, surfing, cruising around on the boulevards. Goin through the city to see who’s doin what, where, you know?” That’s what Keanu says he was up to at the time of this unpublished outtake from a 1990 feature story in @interviewmag. For this photo shoot, Matthew channeled that wild Keanu dreaminess that fans were so in love with. ⠀
