Marc Wilson Talk

Updated: May 1, 2022

Marc Wilson is a commercial photographer who came into my university to talk about his work and his photographic journey. He started off working in bars, restaurants and teaching photography until eventually he became a commercial photographer, which he has done for 10 years so far. He did a Bachelors and Masters degree in photography but it wasn't until 10 years after finishing that he realised his style of taking photos, he liked photographing for purpose. For example, he travelled Europe photographing important and highly researched places. Here is an example of an image he took whilst travelling :

He likes to take his time whilst photographing, if he's not feeling it he will leave and come back another day. It takes him at least one minute to take a photo, to make sure he's capturing the right time and putting all his effort into the one picture. This photo was part of a project, taken between 2010 and 2014, about memories in the landscapes from military conflict.


I found his work and style of photography very fascinating, I would definitely take a look at his website - https://www.marcwilson.co.uk/ for any more information on his projects and style of work. It was very interesting listening to his stories and adventures he's had from travelling and is something I am interested in doing in the near future.
