Picturing Maricopa project finished…

In August I photographed a project commissioned by the Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust called Picturing Maricopa. The Piper Trust commissioned 15 Valley photographers to work with different nonprofit organizations to “tell their stories” to clients, partners and potential donors.

Based in downtown Phoenix, St. Joseph The Worker assist homeless, low-income and other disadvantaged individuals in their efforts to become self-sufficient through permanent, full-time employment.  Here are a few of my favorite images from the project.

About

Mark Peterman explores narratives with photographs and multimedia. Although his work
is at home in the post-modern world it is very informed by history. A desire to be creative
on a daily basis fuels his curiosity about the human experience and he documents things in sketchbooks as a way of remembering his life.

Since he was young, he has been recreating the world around him through photographs and is continually refining his artistic vision by drawing on influences from music, literature and art. Mark's work reflects a graphic, story-telling quality with a cinematic feel, drawing on his design background while studying at the Kansas City Art Institute.

Mark enjoys photographing ordinary people who do interesting things. Although he is primarily a still photographer, he has recently started incorporating multi-media and motion into his work. Recent project themes include examining how ones memory is effected with the passage of time, exploring family histories on film and spending time in the meeting spaces of fraternal organizations.
