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 the fashion editor Isabella Blow who became a close friend and an invaluable source of inspiration. Sharing an apartment in Paris, they developed a close working relationship. McPherson photographed the first fashion story for Tatler with Blow, working as fashion director, showcasing the retrospect of Manolo Blahnik. McPherson refers to Blow as the one who "brings ideas out of me and helps me take them to the next level". McPherson returned to New York City in 1998 and was introduced to Stephen Sprouse, who further influenced his photographic style.
