Mark Pearce's Biography
Mark Pearce is a local photographer who was born in Hampshire in 1973 and has remained here all his life, moving to Lower Swanwick five years ago. He was a long-term IBM employee, having worked there for 22 years until leaving to set up business with his partner in 2013. Although always a keen photographer, his interest in the subject has grown significantly over the last 5 years.
To further his skills he undertook an Open University course in 2010. Since then he has practised various techniques on many photographic subjects to successfully broaden his experience in the art.
He enjoys many styles from landscapes through to close-up (macro) photography, but whatever he photographs, he always tries to capture a different view of the things people see every day, or that are simply taken for granted. He now regularly attends various local events to capture them from a visitors perspective.
