“Gerald Mclean is a highly experienced and well-published creative architectural photographer who works internationally. Gerald’s choice of architecture as his specialized subject was determined by his apprenticeship to architectural photographer John Maltby and his desire to portray that which he perceives to be constructive in our lives – both literal and abstract. Architecture; and the elements from which it is composed provide Gerald with the ideal subject with which to transform those elements into salient pictorial form. In experimenting with the new shapes that present themselves, he has realized artistic confidence controlling the fundamentals of architectural form; line, mass, space, and proportion. International assignments have helped Gerald to photograph buildings from unusual standpoints; to stress those aspects, which communicate the driving aesthetic behind each building to the viewer, without losing the integrity of the architect’s design”.

geraldmclean has studied Photographic Art and achieved MAs in both Digital Imaging and Documentary Photography/Photojournalism. As an architectural photographer, geraldmclean focuses on ‘the detail’ in creating images from considered vistas and under controlled lighting conditions, such as dusk, night, and dawn. “...the stillness of night; the colour and majesty of dusk and dawn inspires me. In these quiet hours and concise moments, free of the normality and noise of the day, I feel most at peace within the built environment. Then to be gifted with the ability to realise and share images that otherwise go unnoticed...” Additionally, gealdmclean’s love of travel and desire for new visual experiences has broadened his portfolio of international photography and B2B video footage.

geraldmclean’s approach to each assignment is to view the images he creates as an opportunity to extend his art. “…more than a job that must be done, each assignment is a journey of discovery with a destination.” The end result is, images that transcend information as a testament to time.
