System of Beliefs
I believe:
that life is what you make it
in the power of positive thinking and our ability to harness the power of Manifestation
in a strong work ethic
in the power of a plan and working that plan
we can learn something from everyone
in the power of kindness
it’s my purpose to create portraits that capture the unique essence I’m able to see in each person I photograph
everyone has an inner rock star, it’s just a matter of capturing it
I love to work with people that work hard and are willing
to learn and implement what they learn to succeed. I mentored with one of the world’s most talented fashion photographers and artists. I watched him become one of the most successful artists of the modern era due to his hard work, perseverance and being able to think ahead.
The Creative Experience
I’m often asked about my creative
process, or how I come up with my
creative vision for a shoot. My
process is hard to put into words
though. The best way to describe it I guess, would be that I work
organically.
A lot of what I love about my work
is meeting the Client, either beforehand or on the Session day. Almost immediately I’m able to sense an inner
quality about them that would be
best to present to the world, that
encapsulates their unique value. I’m not sure how I’m able to
do this, though it’s one of the most
exciting aspects that makes me look
forward to every shoot, and also
ensures that each shoot is unique.
Also, I love shooting on location.
A lot of my work that looks like it’s
been shot in a studio is usually
outdoors against a backdrop:
“Mark mixes natural lighting with interesting cultural aesthetics, playing with urban textures...”

I really enjoy having an experience
or adventure with my Clients,
something unforgettable that we can
share forever, and remember when
we look back on the photos. Images
to me, are about capturing a moment
in time, and it seems fitting that the
moment we choose to capture be
worth remembering.
“Mark Maryanovich for your
absolute brilliance in photography.
Your eyes really are the gateway
to your imaginative mind that
sees what the average person,
like myself, doesn’t. You make that
happen on film. I can’t explain
how much I admire your ability
and what an experience we had in
Vegas, Death Valley Junction
and Furnace Creek in the heart of
Death Valley. Surreal to say the
least, like out of a movie and
something we have that we can
be reminded of in the pictures.”

It also sometimes helps when Clients
send me photos they like or are
inspired by, either images of mine
from my website, or ones they’ve
found online. This can help ensure
we’re all on the same page in terms
of the looks we’re going for.
Also, sometimes really interesting
things can happen when I know
a little bit about your interests. For example,
when researching country artist George Canyon
for his album release, I discovered
he’s an aviation buff and pilot. I took him to an air museum and
he thoroughly enjoyed the day,
being surrounded by vintage
aircrafts. Our work ended up
being nominated and winning a
CCMA Award for Album Design
of the Year.

“A great job, as usual, lots of cool shots, I think the photos look great, thanks
for everything. I really appreciate it. Best, Jonathan”
Jonathan Simkin
Owner,

While I like to start with a loose
plan, I also like to stay open to what
occurs naturally and in the moment
on the shoot day. This way, each
shoot truly becomes a one of a kind
experience that I can tailor to each
of my Clients.
My Clients generally find me very
easy to work with, and I keep my
directions simple and easy to follow. I’ll guide you in posing and make
sure you look your best.
“Hi Mark! The pics look
absolutely incredible!!!
Thank you so much for coming
out to the middle of nowhere
and making me look awesome!!
SUCH a pleasure working
with you and I really hope we
can do it again sometime!
All the best!:)”

Other than that, I’m a big believer in
trust and energy, and being open for
a bit of an adventure. Maybe it’s
these things that enable me to
capture the intangible personal
qualities I see.
Or maybe it’s the fact that I’ve been
incredibly fortunate to work with so
many phenomenal people
throughout the years. Their honest
goodness is undeniable and possibly
can’t help but express itself in front
of a lens. Maybe we just find
ourselves in the right environment
to capture it.
