Jock McDonald

Fine Art Photographer

Born in Vancouver in 1961, Jock opened his art studio in San Francisco in 1986. He is a self-taught photographer whose work (both black-and-white and color) has achieved national and international critical acclaim for its distinctive use of humanity, our shared commonalities, and qualities of mystery. McDonald’s portraiture, his depictions of rural life throughout the world, and woven works have been widely published and exhibited in galleries and museums around the world, including exhibitions in the US, Canada, Mexico, Russia, Ukraine, and Cuba, and have been co-sponsored by the Mexican, Canadian, US, Cuban, and former Eastern European Soviet governments. His last exhibit, titled One World Portrait, was shown at the 2009 Havana Biennial in Cuba. Jock has also had much success as a commercial photographer, with clients including Apple Corporation, Hilton Hotels, Mattel Inc., Old Navy, Proctor & Gamble, Saks Fifth Avenue, Vogue, and many more.
