About Marc
BIOGRAPHY
Born in Ipswich in 1974, I have enjoyed spending time in the countryside for as long as I can remember and began to study Environmental Conservation in 1990. It was here that I fully learned to appreciate the delicate balance of nature and the challenges it faces, from the intricate eco systems of the heathlands to the issues of coastal erosion. I try to bring my knowledge of the environment in to the work I produce, documenting the landscape around us and representing it in my own style.
In 2004 I decided to concentrate exclusively on landscapes. Since then my work has been published in magazines, books and calendars, as well as being sold in a variety of retailers
and exhibited in a number of galleries.
At present my work is represented by six agencies both nationally and internationally.
ARTIST STATEMENT
I work with digital equipment using a Canon EOS 5D and a Canon lens for all my work. I try to make use of the dramatic light found at the beginning and end of the day to bring a sense of atmosphere to landscapes I am photographing. There are no colour filters used in any of my photographs as I believe that the natural light and colours that can be found at these times of day are dramatic enough, so I feel there is no need to add anything extra. The only filters I use are a polarizer and ND grads to balance exposure and saturation. I aim to present the landscape in a way that is both interesting and sympathetic to the location.
