Mark Power born in 1959 in the UK. He (accidentally) 'became a photographer' in 1983, and worked in the editorial and charity markets for nearly ten years, before he began teaching in 1992.
Mark Power joined Magnum Photos as a Nominee in 2002, became an Associate in 2005, and a full Member in 2007. Meanwhile, in his other life, he is Professor of photography at the University of Brighton, a city on England's south coast where he lives with his partner Jo and their children Chilli (b.1998) and Milligan (b.2002), although currently they are based in Krakow, Poland.
Not only do I like this man for where he used to be based. Brighton, E.Sussex. As that is where i was born. His ability to capture a stunning image is not rare. when flicking through his collection on magnum photo's, I stopped puzzled as to what i was looking at. This ability to capture the audience in disarry is fantastic. This was the main picture that captured me. Take on such a unique angle he has shared with the world what we would usually not see.
I hope to capture images like this within my shoots, using the normal everyday events but seeing them from the complete opposite dimension. Creating a new focal point and form. The centre of attention is obviously the tv screen, everyone is facing it. Yet he shows this situation in such an unseen form.
