The photo is part of a brilliant series by Sandro Miller titled Malkovich, Malkovich, Malkovich: Homage to Photographic Masters, which is currently on display at the Mac-Gryder Gallery in New Orleans.
The series features 62 recreations of the most iconic shots in modern history, all starring John as the subject.
