I do run a full service production company for photography and video, but if you want to know about me…. I was raised in the South, I do say Y’all occasionally and I might have a slight southern accent, justmaybe ;)
Currently, I’m an award winning commercial photographer who loves to capture those in-between moments, the unscripted and fun moments that happen around the scripted shots. I love collaborating with brands, agencies, and healthcare organizations to create imagery that feels natural, genuine, and relatable.
I’ve been taking pictures since I was in 7th grade. I started getting paid for my photography at age 16, when I shot my first wedding, never having met the bride. Now, I shoot for some of the World’s most recognized global brands, and I love my job!
I work as a local in Charlotte, New York and Los Angeles.
One last thing: The daredevil, Evel Knievel, was one of the reasons I became a photographer. Ask me to tell you that story when we meet.
Some Nice Words About Me, From People I’ve Worked with
“Mark's friendly and personable demeanor made working with him feel like working with an old friend. He took the time to understand my vision for the shoot, which resulted in an enjoyable experience and a fantastic final product. I can’t recommend Mark enough and I’m looking forward to the next time!” - Sarah Hua (Art Director - FCB Chicago)
“Mark has a real gift for working with people. It’s his secret sauce, rather, his super power. It's because he makes everyone comfortable, effortlessly, IMHO.” – Philip McCanless (GCD_@ Accenture/Song-L.A.)
“Mark is a photographer who makes a photo shoot fun and brings out what we need in our models...personality. He is able to communicate well with them, giving us great ending results. I love working with Mark!!!” - Diana Lang (Sr. Creative Services Producer - Home Depot)
“Mark was so much fun to work with and I could not be happier with the results of our shoot.…… It was important to me that I partner with an experienced artist who could capture the depth, personality, and raw/candid humans and their sentiments throughout the shoot….. What we walked away with was incredible - feeling, energy, and every asset I needed to showcase our employer brand with a real sense of who our people are. The intangibles were fantastic too - I couldn't have hoped for a more fun, down-to-earth team to work with, between Mark and his team, It was a great time. I wouldn't hesitate in hiring Mark again.” - Leila Shamas (Global Talent Brand Leader at Nintex)
“Oh my gosh, I am trying to make a select list (of images) and I’m basically picking everyone. I’m really happy with the images!” - Allyson Stevens (Marketing Coordinator @ Wrangler)
“What I love about Mark is he has the flexibility to roll with the moment, and that’s huge!" - Michelle Zapata (Senior Manager of Production at Authentic Brands Group)
