I first met fine art photographer Mark Coffey at Arc, where we both volunteer.
If you don’t know already, Arc is an amazing place. It’s a gallery and centre for creativity, learning, fun and wellbeing. You should pop along if you’re in the Stockport area. (They do a fabulous job for the community and a mean cafetiere of fresh coffee.)
He teaches photography, photoshop and design. Whilst I just potter about making a nuisance of myself.
Anyways, he’s been helping me with a little exhibition I’m putting together at the Oasis cafe at Stepping Hill Hospital in Stockport. We were chatting away, as you do, when he mentioned his website, so I went over and took a look. There’s some great work on it, so I thought I’d share it with the class.
Some shots are fun and frivolous, whilst others are mean and moody. And some, don’t involve alliteration at all. (But, are striking images, nonetheless.)
Depending on which images you’re looking at, they are reminiscent of Saul Leiter, Martin Parr and Fan ho.
Have a mosey on over to Mark’s website for a more detailed look at his work.
After, you can nip down to Arc for a nice cup of tea and a Tunnock’s teacake.
Hey! How did that get on here? To be fair, Mark did take it. (When I wasn’t looking!)
Great work! Absolutely stunning photos.
Glad you like them, Dina. I’ll pass on your message, if he hasn’t read it already!
Mean and moody indeed. Love the words and the photographs.
Thank you Mahevash, that’s very kind of you. (Well, about the words – the photos obviously aren’t mine!)
🙂
