From where I stand was first exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery and then went on to tour America, Germany and Sweden. Alongside its accompanying publication McCartney has chosen a selection of her very best work that ranges from intimate portraits of famous characters to backstage shots at fashion shows, concerts and ballets. This personal selection of images explores her personal interest in the more intimate side of photography, which shows private moments and characterful expressions rather than the outward veneer.

From Where I Stand is photographer Mary McCartney’s first book, introducing selected works spanning her career from the mid-1990s onwards. These images are a reflection not only of Mary’s personal world, but also of the unique relationships she establishes with the people she photographs. She constantly seeks to put her subjects at ease, watching and waiting for them to let the camera in rather than imposing any formal ideas of composition or technique.. This anthology is based around people, places, and events as seen through Mary’s eyes: the intimacy of backstage preparations among the corps de ballet at the Royal Opera House; the raw energy of fashion shows and rock concerts and the personal spaces of family.
