He was born in Glasgow, where he lived until he moved to Manchester to study photography in a prestigious photographic program at Manchester Polytechnic. Before long, the recent graduate was assisting innovative fashion photographers Nick Knight and Miles Aldridge, learning the ropes and as he built up his own portfolio. Three years later, Mark started shooting on his own, relocating to New York City.<br /> <br /> Mark’s editorial work has appeared in Men’s Health, Vibe, Spin, Fortune, Billboard, Parade and Complex, among others. He has shot countless celebrities, including Iggy Pop, Jack Black, the Black Eyed Peas, Jerry Seinfeld, Dave Chappelle, Rihanna, Queen latifah, Simon Baker and Jenifer Love Hewitt.<br /> <br /> Mark has amassed a sizable advertising portfolio, as well. His clients run the gamut, from Reebok, Hennessy, Pepsi, Gillette and Vitamin Water to Ford, Chrysler and Sean John. He has also photographed album covers for Sony, Universal Def Jam, Virgin and Capitol Records<br /> <br /> Mark’s portraits have been included in several coffee table books, most recently Rolling Stone’s Tattoo Nation and Hip-Hop Immortals, and group photography shows. His work was recently on display at the New Museum in New York City.<br />  <br /> In his limited spare time, the photographer enjoys taking pictures with his 1950s Graflex camera, and looks forward to formal events—an excuse to wear his kilt.</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://gallery.me.com/markymann#100415">the ME AND.... gallery</a><br /> <img alt="" src="file:///Users/markymann/Pictures/iPhoto%20Library/Originals/2007/Apr%2012,%202007/seinfeld_00224%20copy.jpg" /></p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p> </p><div> </body>
