Biography

He was born in Lewes (East Sussex) in 1950.

In 1968, he took photographs of John and Yoko Lennon. ^[3] His images of London in this period appeared in magazines, ^{[4] [ failed verification ] [5]} newsprint and books. Maclear produced several documentaries including a profile of the psychologist p Elisabeth Kübler-Ross.

In the early 1980s, following the success of a feature film set in the city of London starring Rebecca de Mornay, he developed a 26-hour TV series for English television on the same theme; money traders and their lives. Maclear wrote episodes of established TV series and then developed a further 26-hour original series, Space Island One , produced by Margaret Matheson for Sky UK, German and Australian Television.

Maclear moved to Paris when he was fifty and continued writing screenplays. He latterly returned to photography and produced a book about the town of Soller in Mallorca, and became a travel writer. ^{[6] [7]} He continues to sell and speak about his photographs from London during the nineteen sixties, many of which are acknowledged as being emblematic of this extraordinary cultural and sociological period. ^{[8] [9]}
