General info :
Acey Harper is a fine-art photographer living in Sausalito, California.

He was the son of a rodeo cowboy and spent his formative years wandering the Bahama Islands with his grandfather.
He began in newspapers as a copy boy. That meant that he was an errand boy for the newsroom who did whatever anyone needed. He got coffee, carried copy to the composing room or went into the photo department to request a photo for the next day's paper. That is how Acey discovered photography and eventually was hired as a staff photographer at a small newspaper in south Florida.
He won several awards for his work there and when the Parent company started a new national newspaper, they invited Acey to be on the first staff. That newspaper was USA Today. He became a photojournalist documenting the human condition and meeting famous people.
He made portraits of celebrities such as Willy Nelson, Sidney Poitier or Isabella Rosselini.
As an Editor, Acey Harper was a either director of photography, editor or photographer on ten books. Some of those he has directed include several official Presidential Inaugural books and the famed Day in the Life books. His clients have included TIME, NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, PEOPLE and FORTUNE. Since 2008 he returned to his original love of black and white images

Acey is also the author of Private Acts, a project published in 2011, allowing Acey Harper to express from within himself.
Private Acts is the conclusion of a really close collaboration with acrobats whose were for most of them from the same school: the circus center in San Francisco. Posing in position which are simply unbelievable for us and so common for them, they liberated Acey Harper 's imagination.
In 2011 Rizzoli Press published this work in the book Private Acts: The Acrobat Sublime. Over the course of a three-year odyssey across the United States and Canada, he took 70,000 images of Acrobats to get the 100 selects. He spent the summer of 2012 in France, creating new images, while organizing exhibitions with Catherine and Andre Hug.
