Days at Sea

Days at Sea is a series of photographs about dreams and memories about being at the beach on a hot summer day. Created with an iphone, Marc Koegel used long exposures coupled with intentional camera (aka phone) movement. The resulting photographs lack fine details, but are still representational enough for the viewer to understand the rough scene and surroundings.

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.
