Mark Swiecki, a photographer from Vancouver Island, is a member of the Canadian Association of Photographic Art (CAPA) ,the Nanaimo Arts Council and past member of the Harbour City Photography Club in Nanaimo, British Columbia. His photographic work has won local, regional and national awards. His fine art photography includes: landscape photography, portraits, travel photography, abstract photography, still life, tropical birds and introspective shots. Nikon bodies and lenses are his favourite equipment in the field. Mark writes: "Photography has an element of magic to it. The capturing of moments in time. There are photographs that speak to me and take me back to that moment when the shutter snapped. Slices of time in a gallery of the imagination which knows no boundaries is what has maintained my interest in this medium. My first camera was an old Brownie Box camera which I loved to borrow from my father at age 6. I still recall advancing the film, pushing the shutter and then waiting for the film to come back from the developer. Since then, I've used SLR, medium format and D-SLR cameras and high end scanners for creating photographic art. There are photos that tell a story, shock, amuse or make us stop and allow us to be introspective. When I have photographs in an exhibition, I particularly like to observe people as they are looking at my photographs, especially their facial expressions. Attention to detail and observation are skills I learned in Japan, martial arts and meditation, these are some of the aspects I incorporate into to the arts." ~ Mark Swiecki |
