Part of my "Beautiful Solitude" series, the image was taken in Melbourne on medium format film.
Mark Forbes is best known for his considered and atmospheric photography of street scenes, urban landscapes and structures. He employs film as his medium of choice for personal work - using both traditional 35mm and medium format cameras.
Mark's approach to photography comes from an underlying fascination with people and their interaction with the environment. He has an uncanny knack of capturing the layers of beauty that exist everywhere around us. His prints are held in public and private collections, in Australia and internationally.
Awards Mark has been a semi finalist in the Moran Australian Contemporary Photographic Prize, is the winner of The Gomma Grant 2019 for the Best Colour Photograph and was awarded Capture Magazine's "Australasian Top Emerging Photographer 2018" in the Travel category.
