Career Highlights / History

Mark was recently a keynote speaker at Digital Life in Melbourne June 2010.
Mark manufactured a 3D print and presented it to, Jeff Kennett.

Mark will also be speaking at 'The Event' October 2010 in Queensland.

Mark first gained a degree in Physics from the Caulfield Institute of Technology in 1979 and then became a Technical Director and Master Controller for a major television network (TEN) for nearly a decade.

A passion for photography saw Mark make a career change that started with another degree, this time in Photography from RMIT in 1991. As a commercial and advertising photographer he worked with major clients such as Nissan, Holden Special Vehicles, Ford and the Henley Properties Group in a career lasting ten years.

The culmination of Mark's experience in both moving and still pictures, combined with the advent of digital technology, has seen the development of a new and innovative motion picture effect – a multiple camera array technique called Time Splice. Time Splice is used to “freeze” a moment in time as you move around it

Television commercials using this technique have been produced for leading brands such as: Poise, Carlton United Breweries, Sea World, Hyundai, Lexus, Red Bull and Energizer.

Mark has traveled the world with successful assignments completed in Japan, U.K., New Zealand, India, South America, North America, Spain, Germany and China.

A 'real time' broadcast system was developed and used on Rove Live and Big Brother 07.

Mark has also created major milestones in the area of still photography being one of the first to complete a long term, time-lapse project with a digital still camera of the Southern Cross Station (Spencer Street) over a period of three years. He also successfully completed a 360 degree virtual reality HDR time-lapse, at the Space Needle in Seattle using twelve cameras to capture 360 degree, with one full 360 every minute, for 24 hours.

Mark is the recipient of the Australian Cinematographers Society (ACS), Ross Wood Sr Award for Innovation and Advancement of Cinematography

Marks continues to concentrate his time on camera array effects and 3D lenticular printing with the amalgamation of 'Art and Science'.
Mark is currently the only one in the world to produce printed images with real depth over the subject and is entirely responsible for the complete process 'in house' from image design, capture post production, printing and print manufacture.

Mark was the first person ever to enter 3D images into the 2009 Australian Professional Photography Awards (APPA) and received 1 x Silver Distinction and 3 x Silver awards - an excellent result for a first time entrant as an accredited member of the Australian Institute of Professional Photographers (AIPP).

In 2010 Mark was still the only one to exhibit 3D work to the APPA, gained another 4 silver awards and is on his way to becoming the first internationally recognised Master of Photography based entirely on 3D lenticular work.
