PETER MACGILLIVRAY
As a young man, Peter MacGillivray didn’t need to travel far to document singers, actors and political leaders – they came to him. Well, not exactly. These well-known figures were attracted to the cultural and physical beauty of his hometown. To capture an icon, all that was required was film in his camera and a general awareness of who was visiting the area.
Growing up in the shadow of one of the country’s most important art collections, MacGillivray was influenced by some of the most notable - as well as unrecognized and uncelebrated artists and photographers of his era. Also impacting his developing eye was a stint as photojournalist – a job he landed while still in high school – followed by his formal education.
Though nothing in his background would have suggested that he would venture beyond the quaint confines of his hometown, his career as a magazine writer, photographer, and editor took him literally to the ends of the earth. The fjords of Iceland, the jungles of Borneo, the rainforests of the Amazon, have all became subjects for his lens.
Today, wherever he goes, he is certain to make sure there is paper and pencils in his backpack and an awareness of the unique beauty of the faces and the landscapes that form his world.
