So, when longtime friend and collaborator, photographer Sandro Miller, who goes by his first name, decided he wanted to recreate his favorite iconic images as tribute to his most beloved photographers, he knew who to ask to be the stand-in model for the images.

" [Malkovich's] belief and trust in my work is unprecedented, granting me many opportunities to work with him. Over the past 17 years I would approach John with various personal projects... he has never said no, and has always been open to my ideas," says Sandro.

The resulting series, shot over the course of three days in April, exactingly recreates 30 legendary photographs by 28 master photographers, all featuring Malkovich assuming many different roles in the frame.
