Professional Biography
Roddy MacInnes considers himself to be an autobiographical photographer. In that capacity, he has been documenting his life through photography since 1964. He received a Master of Fine Arts in Photography from the University of Colorado at Boulder (1998), and a Bachelor of Arts in Photography from Edinburgh Napier University, Scotland (1991). His latest photography project, "Intimate Proximity" was inspired by an album of photographs discovered in an antique mall in Denver, Colorado. A North Dakota woman made the photographs in 1917. Through the project, Roddy explores the creative potential of interconnection.
