Michael Marker Photography

There is nothing quite like capturing the essence and character of someone on film. My style is my unique approach and vision. I create timeless works of art that convey so much more depth and emotion than just a likeness or snapshot. And for me it’s always a privilege to me to be commissioned to photograph a couple’s wedding, a person’s portrait or a day in a family’s life. These are special and precious moments of your life.

I’m a 44 year old full time professional photographer with a graduate and postgraduate fine art background and over ten years experience photographing weddings, people and places. I was born and raised in Africa and still miss the reliable sunshine! My background informs my work through strong compositions, the play of light and ultimately creative photographic works of art. My preference is to use natural light as much as possible as the subtlety and range of tones adds to the drama of the day. Avoiding the use of flash also allows me to photograph people at their most relaxed and natural.
