Di Mackey’s passion for world travel and anthropology is reflected in her photography. Each time she picks up her camera, she’s on a journey of discovery. She focuses on her subjects not just with open eyes but with an open mind and heart.

Like a seasoned traveler, she happily explores unknown territory, waits for and embraces the unexpected, adjusts to whatever circumstances she finds herself in, and comes away with images that are powerful, memorable, familiar and yet new.

Di looks beyond the surfaces, lines, and shapes she sees through her lens and seeks to convey the essence of her subjects, the untold story behind their expressions, the gestures that reveal who they are.

With every photo, Di makes a contract with the moment and seeks to capture not just what she sees but what’s being revealed. Her photography is intimate, comfortable, and invites the viewer to share a larger truth, to imagine a story.
