MARK MARIN
Mark is a Designer and Photographer. He first set up his own practice in Sydney in 1990 and since has successfully completed a large variety of projects across several disciplines and locations. However, he has also worked consistently in art and photography since around 1998 and has shot imagery all over the world throughout numerous travels.
After working with paint on paper in the late nineties - his artistic focus shifted back to purely photography. Of particular interest is photography that uses the camera in an alternative way to create a more artistic or abstracted view of the world.
Mark works within several photographic series ranging from conventional work such as ‘Façade’ - a study of modernist architectural facades globally in preparation for a book to ‘Blur’ and 'Moon Drawings' – more abstract series of images made with the camera de-focussed or moved.
Mark attempts to remain true to the original image at all times, working with natural or available light only.
Mark studied Design including Photography at Sydney College of the Arts, ( now UTS ) - Australia - graduating in 1984. He has lived in Australia, Dubai and London and is currently based in Sydney.
