About Mark Cornick

Mark is an abstract and contemporary landscape photographer specialising in coastal, botanical and documentary style images. His aim is to create visually striking images, utilising the colours and elements of his subject to capture the energy and atmosphere of the environment around him. The goal: for the viewers of his work to feel the same emotions as he did when he was taking the image. A sense of calm, and tranquillity. Mark has deep routed connection to Cornwall, visiting the Cornish Coast since he was only a month old. Not knowing that it would be the start of a passion for photography later in life.
