steve mcqueen william claxton: photographs
sharing a passion for fast cars, steve mcqueen (1930-1980) and william claxton became friends early in mcqueen’s career and remained close until his premature death. claxton frequented mcqueen throughout his many incarnations (daredevil, dirt biker, movie star, sports car driver, ladies man, family man, etc.), capturing at every turn another side of mcqueen’s enigmatic tough-guy/nice-guy personality. as this photo album demonstrates, claxton’s photographic talent and sensibilities were perfectly attuned to the actor’s multifaceted character. this is the real Steve McQueen, immortalized by claxton’s empathetic lens.
