Meet Marcus and Sam

Sam and Marcus are in the same room together and took this rare opportunity to quiz each other about their past! This episode is a little like being present as they chat about their past in the pub, pint in hand.

 

Sam started design websites n the 90’s working with HTML and hand coding in Notepad. And even though he had various jobs he was always designing websites in the background. As a keen white water kayaker he did a lot of traveling, visiting exotic places for his sport.

 

Designing websites with photographs had its problems early on as it meant relying on scanning negatives and transparencies. Then compressing files significantly so they could load quickly.

 

His dad was a wedding photographer and Sam built up a lot of knowledge assisting him on weddings. A valuable experience that helped him direct his focus on designing websites for photographers as well as an understanding what makes a great image.

 

Marcus found photography in his mid 30’s after a successful career as a session bass player. Prompted because he was looking for a new creative outlet and after purchasing a decent camera was drawn into the way he could “contain” the world through a viewfinder.

 

Quickly immersing himself into studying the subject at college and university he moved from his home in London to Brighton to partake in a BA in Editorial Photography. Then onto a role assisting a top advertising photographer for a few years helping out creating the image with flash lighting.

 

After branching out on his own shooting fashion he eventually starting working for the Hair and Beauty industry in his own studio in London as well as LA, NY and Paris. He also ran workshops for hairdressers on how to photograph their own work for magazines.

 

After 10 years Marcus was offered a post as a Senior Lecturer in Fashion and Advertising Photography at the University of South Wales moved to Bristol and after another eight years set up his current practice as a Brand Photographer.
