"In The Mist" series Open Edition Giclée prints Printed on Hahnemühle Bamboo Paper 290gsm with Epson Utrchrome HD inks. I.P. McLaren Portrait photographer turned fine art photographer creates images that have a quiet edginess, intensity and sense of contemporary classicism, clothed in the painterly feel of pastoralism, inviting the viewer to slow down and take in the view. Although Ian embraced Digital and indeed some of his techniques incorporate it, he prefers to use film and tactile processes that requires a more disciplined, considered approach. By investing the extra time handcrafting his prints in Albumen, Gum Bichromate and Silver Gelatin, each image grows organically. No two prints that Ian makes will ever be identical, accidents create a new personal aesthetic and are celebrated. After an early childhood in Glasgow, Phillips-McLaren moved to the Scottish countryside where he spent his teenage years hanging out in forests with friends but never fully feeling at ease in his surrounds which often felt mysterious, foreboding and dark. Now living in the countryside of East England, he often shoots in the forests and mists and his work reflects his earlier life, facing his fears. “Walking through forests and mists instilled a sense of apprehension in me. I always felt a presence of something bigger and greater than me and that I’m not alone. I’ve tried to capture and project the essence of these feelings into my prints and am fascinated by others’ reaction to them – do they find them sinister, ethereal, magical or calming?

Inspired as a child by watching his artist Dad paint in his creative home city of Glasgow. Known for his natural, no-gimmicks style, Ian’s images are authentic, honest and strikingly expressive. As a nightclub DJ and musician, he took the plunge into the w orld of photography in 1985 when he was twenty five after buying a second hand camera from a pub hawker. He got bitten by the bug and read every photography book he could find and after taking a college course spent his days off experimenting with what he’d learned. His first break into professional photography came after being offered studio space in a new Glasgow artists’ co-operative, WASPS and his career took off, taking pictures of models and people he met in his night club. Two years later the BBC made a TV programme about McLaren called ‘A style of one’s own’. He then became Artist in Residence at the Glasgow School of Art and in 1990 held an exhibition showcasing his art and life in Glasgow in its ‘City of Culture’ programme. Soon afterwards McLaren produced his first album cover for top 90’s pop band Wet Wet Wet, followed by a series of portraits for American Vogue. He moved to London in 1991 and quickly become renowned for shooting straight from the heart pictures of ordinary people, artists, and celebrity ‘A’ listers including the Spice girls, Justin Timberlake, Billy Connolly, Orlando Bloom and many other actors, comedians and pop stars. His client portfolio included Chanel Four, BBC, Bank of New York, Vidal Sassoon and magazines GQ, Smash hits, Top of the Pops and Q. He has been featured in several media interviews including Kirsty Young’s programme for BBC 5 live. In the last few years McLaren has made a name for himself in the fine art arena, having been a four times nominee and recipient of an honourable mention in the world’s most prestigious International Photography Awards. In recent projects such as ‘In the Mist’, started in 2016 in Hatfield Forest and his still lives in ‘Little book of Pears’ and ‘Dahlia Triptychs’, currently being curated for future exhibitions, Ian has turned his lens on the natural world, creating hauntingly beautiful studies that encapsulate the wonder he felt as a child moving from the big city to the Scottish countryside. “Walking through forests and mists instilled a sense of apprehension in me. I always felt a presence of something bigger and greater than me and that I’m not alone.
