More about Mark J....
What do you love about your job?
I love capturing moments. The fact that one frame can tell so many stories about a person or event really interested me. I am a storyteller at heart and when I take photos I try not to just "take photos" but tell a story.
What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?
I have done fashion brand photoshoots and instead of just having a model pose I try to do some visual storytelling. Using props and other models to tell a story within the photo shoot.
