Born in Melbourne, Mark's early interest in photography, began as a young child watching his Dad take family photos, with a Kodak Box Brownie camera. It wasn't long before the camera ended up in Mark's hands, capturing moments around him.

As a teenager Mark spent many hours developing his craft, which started in his home built darkroom. He loved to watch the magic of his B&W photos develop before his eyes. Since then he has always processed his own images, to have complete control over the final results.

Completing a degree in photography at RMIT, with further studies in graphic design and multimedia, helped to advance Mark's skills to a new level. Mark is one of few photographers, who can take the image from concept, to the final finished product.
