Mark Iocchelli (Pronounced “eokelly”)
I’ve loved photography for over 20 years, beginning when I was loaned a Pentax ME Super to photograph a work-related baseball tournament (I still shoot with Pentax).
I’ll photograph pretty much anything… except weddings. I did too many of those in the 90s. I love wandering around my home city of Edmonton in search of whatever images it’ll offer up, and I’m rarely disappointed. In fact, most of my best work is done within blocks of my home and office.
I’m not sure if you know this, but Alberta is an absolutely beautiful, varied province. I am a-ok driving around the province with my camera on any given Sunday. Speaking of Alberta, it’s awesome in the winter.
I’m not a morning person so, um yeah, I don’t catch a lot of sunrises (I’ve photographed exactly zero sunrises in the past year), but I’m all over sunsets!
I’m not sure if I qualify as a truly artistic type, but I am constantly seeking lines and curves when I’m out doing my thing. I’m all about the lines and curves - especially in my black and white work.
Let’s see… what else? Oh, bugs are awesome. Dragonflies, spiders, bees, grasshoppers etc etc. They are absolutely fascinating to me. It’s a whole other world at that size… sometimes gruesome, and sometimes beautiful, but always intriguing.
I’m not sure if I mentioned this, but I won’t photograph your wedding. However, animals are cool and so are trains so, I suppose if your dog gets married in an ETS station, I’ll probably photograph that for you.
Current goal is to sell a bazillion photographs, move to Maui and take pictures of turtles. You cannot spend enough time on Maui, or with Maui-an turtles. Trust me – both are awesome.
Oh yeah, in case I forgot to mention it, please don’t email to ask if I’ll photograph your wedding. I won’t.
Hey, thanks for stopping by!
