Mark C. Christianson has enjoyed photography ever since he grew up in southwestern Minnesota. While in middle school his grandmother lent him an SLR she no longer used, and he’s been looking at the world through camera lenses ever since, especially when traveling.
A graduate of St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota, Mark currently resides in Minneapolis.
Mark's aim in photography is to explore the world around us, and to use it as a way to see past the ignorable ordinary into the beautiful and intriguing. He is often interested in finding a different angle, a notable detail, texture, or shape; to focus in on some part of an object or scene. In addition, he is often fascinated with light and color, both bold and lively color and subdued and subtle shades.
Prints of many of the photographs are available from the photographer. Information can be found at the prints link above. If you are interested in ordering a print or have other inquiries, please contact Mark Christianson through the contact link.
