“The act of CREATING something and seeing it come to LIGHT is what drives me
The PROCESS of bringing something from the invisible, unseen, intangible realm into VISUAL and TANGIBLE form INSPIRES me.” MM

Biography
Award-winning photographer Mark Maryanovich has captured an impressive variety of Artists including Chris Cornell, Billy F Gibbons, Bob Rock, Chad Kroeger, Elliott Smith and Henry Rollins.
His photographs appear as album covers and artwork for companies such as Sony, EMI, Warner Chappell Music, and Mark has received two Canadian Country Music Awards for Recording Package of the Year.
Mark’s commercial clients include Microsoft, Gibson Guitars and Peavey Electronics, while work has been published in Vogue, Rolling Stone and Billboard magazines.
Mark has the honor of providing the author photo for Model Woman: Eileen Ford and the Business of Beauty by Robert Lacey (best-selling biographer and historical consultant on the award-winning Netflix seriesThe Crown), and book cover Images for the legendary Randy Bachman’s autobiography Vinyl Tap Stories, and Matt Sorum’s autobiography Double Talkin' Jive: True Rock 'N' Roll Stories from the Drummer of Guns N' Roses,
The Cult and Velvet Revolver.
Mark has been recognized by the prestigious Photo Review magazine competition with his selection as a prominent entry, and by the California art community, with his placement as a finalist in the Images From A Glass Eye International Juried Photography Show, and honorable mention in the American Icon Art Competition.
Because of his work in this genre, the esteemed Annenberg Space for Photography selected Mark to be part of their slideshow exhibition Country: Portraits of an American Sound, which celebrates the pioneers, poets and icons of country music.
Mark’s images stand out from the masses with a unique quality, a quality created by a unique style of shooting; an experience that captures the raw essence of his subjects, translating intangible qualities into tangible form.
Currently, Mark is excited to be working on The ART of GIVING with Co-Creator Matt Sorum. Purely a project fueled by passion, The ART of GIVING exists to create awareness for the charitable causes championed by the world's most iconic artists.
