About
Mark Pearson (b. 1972) is a Scottish photographer specialising in historical and modern photochemistry techniques. His work centres on contemporary issues, notably trespass and man-made physical boundaries.
Operating from his studio and darkroom in North Cornwall he combines these techniques enabling him to focus more on the subject matter, tonality, and composition rather than merely recording reality.
Mark's work has been shared and displayed in many places, and you can find his photographs and publications in various public and private collections.
