My love for photography kicked off super early. I was just 6 when I first got my hands on a camera, and by 11, I was seriously hooked on the whole art thing.
I've always been pretty artistic, but my high school art teacher had a classic line: "Mark, you've got an artist's eye, but a bricklayer's hands!" So, I figured, a camera was the perfect way to bring my vision to life.
Naturally, as a teenager, I found myself really drawn to taking photos of people, especially the female form. And honestly, that quickly became what I loved to shoot the most – a passion I've stuck with ever since.
I'm incredibly lucky because my amazing wife is a model, so you'll see tons of shots of my beautiful Hazel right here. She's constantly pushing me and cheering me on in everything I do.
So, with 43 years of experience (and counting!), it's safe to say photography isn't just a hobby for me; it's my life. And what a fun journey it's been so far! Here's to many more years behind the lens!
