Episode 66 - Mark Mann - Portrait Photographer

Join show host Mitch Stringer as he welcomes renowned portrait photographer Mark Mann to the podcast. Born in Glasgow, Scotland, Mark decided that New York City was the place to make his career goals happen. He surely has reached those lofty goals over 30+ years creating compelling images of a "who's who" in the world of business and celebrity. Images of Robert Redford, Dave Chapelle, Kobe Bryant, Al Pacino, Slash, and multiple US Presidents barely scratches the surface of those he's photographed. Mark's signature style is distinct and really showcases his subjects in a way that is one of a kind. We had a great conversation about his early years, stories from the field, techniques and so much more. Mark is an amazing photographer with a wonderful sense of humor and a terrific guy in general.
