I am a photographer who has been shooting since the mid-1970s. Although I am knowledgeable about film work, and have been in charge of extensive darkroom facilities, today I work exclusively with digital cameras and processing. I shoot portraits and landscapes, sporting events and glamour, and I am a member of Nikon Professional Services (NPS).  I shoot with Nikon and Fuji cameras. I live and work in the Washington, DC area.

My landscape photographs taken mainly in the Washington, DC area have won awards (see exhibits listed below) and I am always exploring new techniques, places to shoot, and subjects for my photography.  My sports photography focuses on sports car racing. I have traveled the world to photograph such events. In July 2010, my photos of the Allure of the Automobile Exhibit held at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, GA were featured in a 3-page layout in der Vörganger (the magazine of the Founder's Region, Porsche Club of America). Since then, I have been a Contributing Photographer for the magazine and several of my photos have appeared on the covers of, and inside, the magazine. Some of the issues in which my photographs have appeared are listed below.  I’ve also had a feature article about me— Ken Marks: Extraordinary Photographer (der Vörganger, July 2011, p 5).  My photographs have also appeared in Porsche Panorama magazine (August 2011). My portrait and glamour photography focuses on the human form and I attempt to capture the beauty of the human face and body in my photographs.  I photograph in black and white and color.

I am a tinkerer and am always looking for ways to expand my photographic experience, be it through new software, equipment or techniques.  From time to time, my experimental work will appear on my website – www.KenMarksPhotography.com.
