Donald McPherson (born March 11, 1969) is an American fashion photographer, who was born in Miami, Florida. Moving to Europe in 1992 to pursue his career McPherson met fashion icon Isabella Blow. Blow became a close friend and an invaluable source of inspiration. Sharing an apartment in Paris the two developed a close working relationship. McPherson photographed the first fashion story for Tatler with Isabella Blow, serving as Fashion Director, showcasing the retrospect of Manolo Blahnik. McPherson references Blow as the one who "brings ideas out of me and helps me take them to the next level." After living in Europe, McPherson returned to New York City in 1998 and was introduced to Stephen Sprouse, who would further influenced his photographic style.
