The Aesthetic Considerations of the Everyday: Mark’s work explores the reimagining of the familiar through the aesthetic delivery.
His current artistic research - The Pull of the Tide - is based around an investigation Into British surf culture and the ethnography of the UK’s participants: visually examining the unglamorous realities, unseen challenges, and unique idiosyncrasies associated with surfing within the British Isles.
This body of practical research continues Mark’s fascination with the delineation of the everyday.
"With his unique colour palette and beautiful lighting, Mark creates a familiar, almost nostalgic feeling to his subject." Aine Donovan - Associate Producer, BBH London
"Mark's imagery is dreamlike. Whether it's magnificent snow-capped mountains or surfers at sunset, everything he shoots has a magical quality. His images convey universal concepts of wonder, adventure, exploration, living in the moment and mindfulness." Guy Merrill - Global Head of Art, Getty
With twenty years of stills & film expertise, Mark has created award-winning fine art images, films, advertising campaigns, design & editorial works and has had three books published.
In 2019 Mark completed his M.A. at Arts University Bournemouth and is now in the early stages of gaining his PhD.
