Mark Hemmings is an internationally recognized travel and commercial photographer. Mark began his career in the late 1990’s when working on feature films as a stills and location photographer. His work broadened to include international jobs with Lonely Planet Guidebooks, which had him photographing in Asia and Eastern Europe. Back home in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, Mark worked, and still works with various organizations and companies to help them with branding and advertising. In 2000 Mark moved to Japan for a year to learn advertising photography, and that year proved pivotal in shaping his lighting style and how he approaches photography within the context of advertising. In 2005 he started his side career as a photography workshop instructor, teaching people how to create better photographs in such diverse places as Mexico, England, Japan, Korea, Hungary, and Romania/Transylvania. Mark is also an accomplished commercial and travel filmmaker.
For this job I was tasked to photograph street scenes in San Miguel de Allende, to help advertise for the San Miguel Photo Workshops (www.sanmiguelphotoworkshops.com). As the workshops are mostly based on teaching street photography, the bulk of the photo collection is people-based.
Our production company, Hemmings House Pictures, created a TV series for W Network and Oprah Winfrey Network filming architecturally designed houses around North America. My job was to shoot the B-Roll and also do the interior and exterior architectural photography, in the Eastern Canadian and New York episodes.
