Prairies in Winter

New work from the US and Canadian Prairies created during the winter of 2024. The snow simplifies the frame and directs attention to these old structures, that despite rapid decay are still holding on. Churches and Grain Elevators are the 'titans' of Prairie Architecture, generally they are the tallest and most recognizable structures - and they have fascinated me since the first time I've travelled to the area. These photographs were created in North Dakota (USA), Manitoba and Saskatchewan (Canada).

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.
