The person that Brandon and I chose for our biography was, Mark Seliger,
Mark was born 1959 in Amarillo Texas. In 1987 he got his first job with the Rolling Stone magazine at the age of 28. According to our sources we couldn’t find any important influences for Mark Seliger, although we did find many people who were influenced by him. One of the good major contemporaries at the time Seliger was a known photographer was Richard Goodall. Mark Seliger likes to photograph many things, particularly every major face of contemporary music and society today. In order for Mark Seliger to take the good photographs he does, he tries to develop a relationship with the subjects to relax them in order to get a better more realalistic photographs. Mark Seliger took many photographs for GQ and Vanity fair, as well as wrote many books such as , “In my stairwell”, “Lenny Kravits”, “Physiognomy” , “when they came to take my father.” And “Taboo Mation Portraits of celeberty body art.” Other publication contributions were rolling stone magazine.
Mark Seliger has influenced many people since he as become a photographer. His work has inspired many generations to becoming photographers. We belive mark seligers work is very influential in our desire to become photographers. We think that the whole world should get to see his work and understand his creative mind. We think his style of photography is very well thought out and planned.
