Having been a serious photography enthusiast for over twenty years, Mark turned professional in 2013, when he started his own business – Mark Brion Photography and decided to follow his heart, when he became a full-time natural world photographer.
Using all his photographic skills and knowledge, Mark has been fortunate to travel extensively whilst capturing large numbers of natural world images for his ever increasing portfolio.
With an overwhelming desire to teach photography to others, Mark spent five extensive years researching, studying and developing his skills and knowledge as a photography tutor. By 2018, he was confident enough to teach other enthusiasts of all differing skills levels, either individually or in small groups with both basic and more advanced photography techniques.
That same year, Mark took the plunge and started organising and leading groups of enthusiasts on his own photography workshops to some amazing destinations both in the UK and internationally.
He has since taught over one thousand students and enthusiasts in the “art of photography” and has successfully led over thirty-five photographic workshops over the past eight years.
During his photography workshops, Mark also enjoys teaching students and enthusiasts’ post production tips and techniques in Adobe Creative Cloud, predominantly in Lightroom and Photoshop; enabling them to considerably improve the overall appearance of their final images.
In addition to his many photography projects and assignments, Mark has always held a passion for researching and writing articles for publication. To date, he has written over one hundred and twenty published articles for magazines, social media, brands, travel, campaigns, websites and other media outlets.
Over the past two years, Mark has written several photography features which have been published in both Digital Photographer magazine and Digital Camera World magazine. These tutorials enable photographers of all levels to learn and improve their camera skills and knowledge.
In conjunction with his “ground photography”, Mark is also a fully trained and qualified drone pilot. He started flying drones in 2017 and has since amassed many hundreds of hours of flying experience and has become a very accomplished aerial photographer and videographer.
“When not working, I love to research and travel to destinations around the globe; exploring new sites, whilst expanding my cultural knowledge. Of course, I will always have my camera (and drone) close to hand during these visits” – says Mark.
To date, Mark has been fortunate to have visited six continents and over eighty different countries.
“Most destinations I have visited have been beautiful in their own right. However, if asked for some of my favourite locations, I would have to put Brazil, China and Costa Rica towards the top of my list”.
