Biography

StudioAvatar

Mark Feenstra is a Canadian editorial and portrait photographer living in Vancouver, BC.

“In April of 2012 I packed a few lights and modifiers into a wheeled suitcase and set off for the former soviet republic of Georgia. While there I spent a lot of time talking to locals and finding people for a series of portraits exploring the current mood of a country with such a recent history of violence. Meeting and working with so many amazing people affirmed my desire to keep people at the forefront of my photographic endeavours. I also learned a daily lesson about taking a rolling case to a country with no continuous stretches of sidewalk.”

By merging the techniques of studio and location lighting with traditional documentary photography, Mark highlights his subjects in a manner that celebrates their existence and contribution to our greater social diversity.

Between travels, Mark shoots a variety of work in the Vancouver area. If you would like to learn more about Mark’s photographic services, or wish to contact him to discuss a booking, please visit the Rates & Services page.
