Hi! My name is Mark and I’m a director and photographer based in New York. I have a Bachelors and Masters from the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan and worked for ten years in finance and venture capital, but my passion has always been film and photography.
In 2015, I left venture capital in order to focus on creating marketing and communication campaigns for the startups, early stage companies, social enterprises, and ambitious budding entrepreneurs that motivate me.
Some of my clients include: Spark Capital, Whole Planet Foundation, Grameen America, GLG Institute, RISE, Sipp, Bystander Revolution, Orchard Platform, Springboard Enterprises, Partnership Fund for New York City, New York Fashion Tech Lab, Hot Bread Kitchen, Leota, and VIVE.
My client work has been featured in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Business Insider, CNN Money, ABC News, Inc., People Magazine and more.

Lisa: "As a national health fund, it’s mission critical for us to effectively educate and activate members and their families to live healthier. Mark worked closely with our members to capture their stories and produce an engaging and inspiring video featuring their success with one of our biggest initiatives--Better Living. We feature this video on the homepage of our new website and regularly rely on it to grow this important program. We’re incredibly satisfied with Mark’s work and more importantly, the way he gave a stage to our members to tell their story with their own words."
Mike: Mark’s accomplished portfolio speaks for itself. But Mark is more than just a talented photographer. He is an exceptionally driven problem-solver who throws himself fully into his projects. Mark makes your goals his own and brings passion and intelligence to his creative work — going the extra mile to get the shot, make the connection, or capture the story. He has over-delivered time and again and I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him or refer him to a friend.
