During his career as a photographer, he made 1,019 photographs. He was the first photographer authorized to photograph inside the Vatican. During the early Roman years, Robert Turnbull Macpherson https://artsandculture.google.com/entity/robert-turnbull-macpherson/m0bs8qs3?categoryid=artist continued to work as a painter, but also as an art dealer. In 1846, after cleaning the old painting he had purchased, identified as an unfinished work by Michelangelo. A few years later, he sold sold to the National Gallery in London. He fell in love with a seventeen year old, Louisa Gerardine Bate, grandson of art historian Anna Jameson, marrying her in Ealing, in 1849.
Having failed as a painter, from 1851 Robert Turnbull Macpherson https://www.inverclyde.gov.uk/community-life-and-leisure/heritage-services/museum/museum-collections/fine-art/art-photography-rome-by-robert-macpherson turned to a new art form, that of photography. Five years later, he experimented with collodion albumin on his photographic plates. To highlight Roman architecture with exceptional detail, he used large format negatives and long exposure times. With his accurate composition of the scenes, he was skilled in capturing three-dimensional relationships, using a two-dimensional photographer. With woodcuts elaborated by his wife, starting from his photographs, in 1863 he published Vatican Sculptures, a guide on 125 Vatican sculptures. Part of his photographs are at the British School, at Rome.
