Mini bio
How it started.
Marc’s camera came after his love of being outdoors. He spent the 1990s hiking, mountaineering and organizing wilderness trips, then began photographing those journeys around 1998. Galen Rowell’s climbing and photography helped him see how pictures could carry those experiences home.
Finding his audience.
His official biography dates his full-time professional career to 2005. Stock photographs, calendars, magazines and licensing supported his early work. His pictures went on to appear in National Geographic publications and Outdoor Photographer, while his teaching grew into an expedition business.
Where the work takes him.
Through MAP Expeditions, Marc combines photography instruction with travel into remote landscapes. The Northern Patagonia fjords are a favourite ongoing project: he told Landscape Nomads that the difficulty of reaching them and discovering unfamiliar places made the work special.
A book to keep.
The Way Home brings together more than 160 images and 80 pages of writing about his life, travels and artistic ideas. His official book page describes a project built over 25 years, limited to 1,000 individually numbered copies.
