ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Acclaimed American commercial and fine art photographer, Bryon Paul McCartney, lives and works near Zürich, Switzerland. His work is sought out by discerning clients and art collectors around the world.
McCartney’s commercial work focuses on advertising, corporate and editorial assignments that help successful companies communicate about their people, processes and products in both images and films. Recent clients have included Alstom, Chevrolet Europe, Dow Chemical, Sulzer and Thompson Reuters.
