Mark Smart
UK Nominee Architectural Amateur "New Brighton Lighthouse" Merseyside, England Mark Smart has been a passionate and dedicated photographer for over twenty-five years. His love for photography began with film cameras and working in the darkroom producing his own prints. He feels there is something special about the hands on approach film and the craft of working in the darkroom. Mark's development and enthusiasm for the subject meant progressing to using 5x4 large format cameras and he travelled extensively around the country, especially the North West of Scotland, capturing its solitude and sublime beauty. Whilst obtaining a BA (Hons) Photography degree, his direction in photography changed. As well as moving towards digital media, he has also moved towards a more urban style of photography, including photographing the busy populated areas of London. As part of his third year thesis he travelled extensively around India for over two months, visiting all its major cities and photographing the unique and beautiful people throughout the country, returning having taken over 8,000 photographs. His aims for the future are to be involved in photo documentary and street photography, with an aim to gaining an MA in these two fields of photography. |
