ABOUT macandré 

In the labyrinthine streets of Queens, where the hum of daily life often fades into the city’s broader symphony, MacAndré D. Pierre finds his canvas. A published photographer and multidisciplinary artist, Pierre transforms the mundane into the monumental, documenting the overlooked intricacies of New York City life with a meticulous eye for detail and a heart tuned to the pulse of community.

Pierre’s work resists the conventional. His photographs elevate the unnoticed—the fleeting gestures of a passerby, the quiet poetry of a weathered storefront, or the resilient spirit of a neighborhood gathering. By capturing these moments, he invites viewers to reconsider the familiar, offering a fresh lens through which to experience the city's ever-evolving narrative.

Drawing inspiration from the freeform creativity that defines his practice, Pierre’s artistry lies in his alternative approach to photography. His silver gelatin prints, often exhibited across New York's most dynamic galleries, reflect a commitment to analog processes that evoke both nostalgia and innovation. Through exhibitions like "Seek Perspective. Gain Perspective" at Prospect Studios and collaborations with platforms like Free Film USA, Pierre has established himself as a vital voice in the city’s creative ecosystem—a storyteller who speaks not through words, but through the raw, kinetic energy of visual imagery.

For Pierre, photography is more than documentation; it is a means of reshaping reality, of revealing the extraordinary within the everyday. His work stands as a testament to the unseen rhythms of New York, inviting viewers to pause, look closer, and find beauty in the unnoticed corners of the city he calls home.
