A Little About Me... But Actually... It's ALL ABOUT YOU!
Hello, my name is Mark. So happy you popped In...
I discovered my LOVE for photography at about the age of 5 when I received my first camera (a plastic "Diana") in the 1960's. I was a budding amateur for many years, learning in both the "Film" and "Digital" Ages.
I Love Everything about VINTAGE STYLES - especially from the 1920's to the 1960's. I offer a variety of Retro Genres or can add a "Vintage Flair" to a Modern Session. My Passions are... God - My Family - My BELOVED DOG: MARLOWE (and now his little "brother" JERSEY) - Old Movies (especially Film Noir) - Fitness - Treating People With Kindness.
After retiring from an unrelated career in 2013 - I decided to EMBRACE my CREATIVE SPIRIT and become a Professional Photographer.
Before opening my business, I wanted to be able to offer clients a true PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE and GORGEOUS IMAGES. As such, my first task was to raise my skills to a Pro Level. I became Accredited with the most Prestigious Canadian Photography Association - namely (PPOC) THE PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHERS OF CANADA. I have learned my trade from some of the Top Canadian Photographers.
In 2022 I received my MASTER PHOTOGRAPHER Designation - Master of Photographic Arts (MPA), which is earned from the Professional Photographers of Canada PPOC for consistent excellent work both in Photographic Imagery and Service to the Photography Community.
I am NATIONALLY ACCREDITED IN the following Photography Genres:
- Portraiture
- Studio Lighting
- Environmental Lighting (non studio)
- Pinup
- Image Manipulation (Compositing/Photoshop)
- Product Illustration / Commercial
- Modeling Portfolios
- Boudoir
I am Internationally Published in over 80 Magazines (12 Covers), as well as having being featured Twice in The Winnipeg Sun Newspaper. I have been interviewed on multiple occasions for my Photography by CJOB RADIO, CTV (Winnipeg) and GLOBAL TV (Winnipeg).
You can be assured that when you are investing your "Hard Earned Money" in my Photographic Services - that you are being Photographed by a skilled Professional and not a Hobbyist or Amateur.
