McDowall and his mother emigrated to the United States in 1940 and settled in Hollywood, where he continued his career in several highly regarded feature films. McDowall was also a lifelong photography enthusiast and in time became an accomplished portrait photographer whose pictures colleagues and friends spanned several decades and resulted in the publication of four books of these images under the series title Double Exposure.
