Wendell MacRae was primarily a commercial photographer, who worked in New York during the 1920s and 1930s. In 1949 he left New York to become the publication productions manager at what was then known as Pennsylvania State College. His work resurfaced in the 1970s, and he had his first solo show at the Witkin Gallery in September 1980.
