Thumbsucker: Photography from the Film by Mike Mills brings together five distinctive photographic perspectives on the making and atmosphere of Mike Mills’ 2005 debut feature film, Thumbsucker. Photographers Mark Borthwick, Todd Cole, Takashi Homma, Ryan McGinley, and Ed Templeton were invited to document the production freely, creating images that move beyond conventional film stills and behind-the-scenes photography. Through intimate portraits, quiet landscapes, suburban environments, and candid moments with the cast, the book extends the film’s exploration of adolescence, family, vulnerability, and self-discovery. Edited by Mike Mills, it stands as both a companion to the film and an independent photographic work, capturing the particular visual culture and sensibility of the early 2000s.
