Specialist note

McGinley went on a two-year road trip, travelling to dozens of Morrissey concerts in the US, the UK, and Mexico. The resultant photos, many of which are densely saturated in the concerts coloured lights, feature candid shots of fans, regularly zooming in for seductive close-ups of enamoured youngsters—a celebration of the ecstatic cult of fame and its ardent enablers.
