Andrew Macpherson
FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY
As a kid falling in love with photography, it was Ansel Adams's eye and technical mastery that defined the pinnacle of excellence. He trained to be a concert pianist and would often make parallels to music, describing the photographic negative as sheet music and printing as a conductor interpreting a score. That is what gave me the idea to play Adams.
My goal was to stand in alignment with him as both a photographer and an environmentalist while giving my own performance, to experience the American West as if through the eyes of the master I was so humbled by as a boy.

This 10x13 hard cover book had a very limited print run of only 500 units in 2015 and very quickly sold out. Originally the edition was meant to be 1500 units, but no more were ever printed. It came in a unique slip case and the hard cover book has a signed tip-in sheet by P!nk and Macpherson.
The few copies that remain here at the studio are believed to be the only ones still available and can be purchased through this website.
This book is broken into a series of photo essays that describe Macpherson’s first twenty years working as a photographer.
The title comes from the number of frequent flyer miles Andrew clocked up on his journey through fashion and on to Hollywood. As he traveled the world capturing many of the media icons of the era, he was also on an artistic journey stroving to bring something fresh and inviting to each of his images.
A note of poignancy overshadows this book. Many of the original negatives were lost in a warehouse fire. It is a testament to the strength of Macpherson's work that even scanned from magazine pages, as some of these images are, the results still radiate vitality and power.
