Mark Wyatt - 1 post

has been photographing people in cities around the world since around 1980. He doesn't crop his images and processes them only so that they faithfully reproduce what the camera saw at the moment that the shutter was tripped. Wyatt's purpose is to examine humanity, to make images that expose connections between subject and viewer so that they may develop and be understood. Mark lives in northern California most of the time. He posts new work regularly on mwwyatt.wordpress.com.
