After picking up his first camera during his middle school years, Mark knew he never wanted to put it back down. He spent his free time growing up taking photos of sunsets over Owasco Lake and filming comedy sketches and short films with his friends and neighbors. Following high school, Mark studied film production at Brooklyn College, and quickly found his footing in lifestyle photography as well as shooting music videos. Since graduating, Mark returned to Upstate New York to film and photograph the beauty that he grew up surrounded by.
