Mary McClean
Photo Researcher
Vintage/Random House
New York, New York
www.vintage-anchor.knopfdoubleday.com
Mary McClean has worked free-lance for more than two decades finding images principally for book covers. Both in-house at Vintage books in the Knopf Art Department at Random House in New York, and working independantly with major trade book publishers both in the US and Europe, she brings a strong graphic arts and art history background to her quest for visual solutions for an extremely wide-ranging variety of books.
A portfolio reviewer in past years for Review Santa Fe, Atlanta Celebrates Photography, Powerhouse Books, Les Rencontres d’Arles, and Photolucida’s Critical Mass, she has also lectured at graduate photography seminars and industry events.
She is most interested in finding the single image which, without being too explicit, tells volumes. Color images featuring people, places or situations (though not necessarily identifiable) whose implications could be open to a variety of interpretations; images which invoke a mood or state of mind through discreet nuances (including humorous ones); still-lives of the everyday – these are always of interest. No nudes please, or gritty documentary shots where subjects are not model-cleared. Finally, there is (alas) very little call for exquisite botanical imagery on book covers.
