Mary McCartney started her career as a photographer in 1995. Since then Mary’s work has spanned the worlds of portrait and fashion photography. Her style lies in finding a moment that gives us a new insight on the subject.
Mary’s assignments have led to her work appearing in editorial titles such as Harpers Bazaar and Interview Magazine as well as high impact advertising campaigns for clients such as Gossard, Stella McCartney, Adidas, Aga, Bucherer and Mandarin Oriental.
Mary’s first solo exhibition was in October 2004 entitled ‘Off Pointe - A Photographic Study of The Royal Ballet After Hours’ in which she was invited into the private world of the elite Corps De Ballet. This series of black & white photographs reveals an intimate unseen aspect of the world of ballet capturing the prestige and the chaos of life behind the scenes and the contrast between the sometimes gruelling, painful lifestyle of the dancers and their fairy tale performances.
Mary’s first book “From Where I Stand” a retrospective book of her photographic work to date will be published in October 2010 by Thames & Hudson.
Mary will be exhibiting ‘From Where I Stand’ at Michael Hoppen Gallery from 22nd October – 20 November
