Malcolm D. Anderson-Photographer, Designer, Writer

Who is this guy?

Hey hey! 

Raised in a family of storytellers, I have accrued a personal  account for almost every topic, and I love to share them. I am a storyteller, armed with a camera and a pen, a photographer and journalist with experience in a variety of creative mediums, with ambitions of interdisciplinary design. As an artist, I am invested in collaboration, alternative processes, timeless street photography and portraits of candor. With seven concussions to date, and epilepsy since age four, memory is a vital tenet of each project. Someday, the only way I’ll have access to certain parts of my life will be through the photos I have taken, the words I have written and the work I have created. Each step I take as an artist and as a person carries the lurking threat of being lost in the damage to my brain, so in a very literal sense, my art is my diary, the chronicle of my life.


My intention is to create beautiful photographs that evoke a sense of connection, both with the subject matter and with the motional story captured in my frame. I hope to give honor to those overlooked and an honest eye to that which is wrong. I want the audience to experience something unique and lasting when they see my work, stories that strike people with an unguarded candor that resonates and lingers, drawing the viewer in for closer inspection. There are so many differences being highlighted every day, we forget just how similar we really are, and building a sense of community through my work is the impact for which I strive.

What's up with this guy?

A freelance photographer, journalist and designer,  I am living in Philadelphia and pursuing experience and growth as a digital and analog storyteller, and a changemaker in the world of design.

Inspired by the work of Vivian Maier, Don McCullin, Jeff Wall, Platon, and David Heath, I am constantly working to refine my photography and perspective on the world around me.

I am writing again for the first time in a long time and it feels so good. Film Production and cinematography are my passion on the side and I need more of it in my life. Studying at the University of the Arts and finishing a continuing education certificate.

Currently shooting various film on: 

Leica M3 SS 

Canon AE-1 Program

Rolleicord 2.8C

 Exakta Ihagee 6x 6

Pentax PC-550 

All digital work is shot on a Nikon D610.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

~Theodore Roosevelt.
