Sir Ian McKellen Lightbox #2 by Gavin Evans, 1996

Photographed in London, 1996 for Premier magazine, this A2 Lightbox print features six black and white studio portraits of Sir Ian McKellen, set against a white background.

The sequence documents McKellen lighting a cigarette, frame by frame — a small, deliberate act. Close-up and direct, the series exposes both subject and gesture with restraint and detail. The Lightbox reveals the flow of interaction between sitter and photographer in real time.

Part of The Lightbox Series – The Bigger Picture, where each six-image composition records more than a pose — it captures the dynamic and evolving atmosphere of the shoot.

Printed as an A2 open edition giclée on archival, acid-free 308 gsm satin matte cotton rag paper, embossed with Gavin Evans’ Open Edition stamp, and supplied unframed, ready for personal presentation and framing.
