About

Gregor MacGregor is an artist based in Boorloo (Perth). His practice looks at how photography and the computational images built from it have shaped the idea of nature as something outside human experience, and asks whether the same technologies can be turned to unsettle that separation.

Before this practice he worked in London as a photographer for Me Company, a studio that combined photography with computer-generated imagery. He was first assistant to Miles Aldridge and Toby McFarlan Pond, and assisted Annie Leibovitz and Guido Mocafico on their London shoots. His own specialism was jewellery and watches, photographed on large format transparency film. Each image was built in camera from multiple exposures, with sections of the frame masked and exposed separately.

His Doctor of Design at Curtin University examined optical technologies and the photogrammetric image in the context of the Anthropocene. The research was exhibited as No Direction Home at Perth Centre for Photography.

Gregor taught photography at Curtin University as a Sessional Academic. In 2022 he won the Contemporary Landscapes in Photography (CLIP) Award at Perth Centre for Photography with a typological grid of Temporal Undulations: Topography of a Meteorite. He has since served as a judge for the award.
