My Goal
I specialize in stylized portraiture that captures unique perspectives of someone.
I don’t work with models. I work to make people feel like models.
Personal
My name is Mark and I’m based in Yorktown, Virginia. I’m passionate about everything photographic. I live and breath it both as an active member in the community and as an instructor of it. As you can see from my work here I specialize in portraits – Fitness, Environmental, Beauty, Model Portfolios, Headshots, Baby Bonding, Beach, and Fashion.
I love taking pictures in general but I get greater satisfaction while working with someone in front of my camera. It is one of my biggest thrills to show someone an image we captured and seeing their reactions. I still get excited for every shoot I do no matter what it is I’m doing. I figure the day that I don’t will be the day I hang up my camera for good.
While I love studio work I’m absolutely at home out on location – whether it’s the beach, a farm, a museum or anywhere else for that matter. On location offers unique challenges that are never the same thing twice. It keeps me thinking and on my toes.
This blog serves as a platform to share my photographs and photographic-based thoughts. Thank you for taking the time to look over my work. Let me know what you think.
