An ongoing project that was started in the Spring of 2010, the ‘Lighthouse Series’ is a collection of long exposure black and white photographs.
Growing up near the water and within walking distance of numerous lighthouses along the commercial waterway called ‘Elbe’, Marc developed a deep appreciation and connection to these structures.
Functional and efficient, Marc often felt invited to take a rest and simply use the opportunity to gaze at the marine traffic moving by. Lighthouses felt like doors to worlds far away.
With this series, Marc aims to capture those feelings and dreams of far away worlds and exotic destinations.
Born in Germany, Marc first went to Canada in 1996 to earn an Economics degree. He has been seriously involved with photography ever since he was given his father's camera and darkroom setup at the age of 12. His black and white long exposure landscapes and architectural photographs have been widely exhibited and have won numerous international awards such as the IPA, PX3, Spider Awards and Epson Pano Awards. Marc also teaches workshops around the world.
Awards I have won several international awards including Gold from PX3, IPA, Epson Pano Awards, ND Awards, Spider Awards, Moscow Photo Awards and Critical Mass. My photography has been exhibited in 50+ exhibitions in Vancouver and internationally.
