David George promotional photos

I recently photographed a musician friend of mine, David George, while he was on tour in Phoenix. I have known David for years. We met back in Kansas City in the mid-late 90′s. I photographed two album covers for his band Moaning Lisa in 2000 and 2003 and numerous promo photos over the years.

He’s been living in Los Angeles since 2004 and I don’t see as much of him these days. He is currently recording a solo record that is due out next year and was playing a couple shows in Arizona. While in Phoenix we collaborated on some photos that will probably be used in album artwork after he finishes recording. Here are my favorites from the shoot…and check out his music here.

Sarah Hatcher from Ford/Robert Black Agency

Here are a few looks from a recent test with model Sarah Hatcher from Ford/Robert Black Agency.  We experimented with a number of different setups and this was one my favorite since it gave me quite a few different shots and options for layout purposes. Michele Lee  was the Hair/Makeup stylist.

Shawna Bowen, sweat lodge deaths in Sedona for People Magazine

I recently traveled to Sedona, Arizona to photograph an assignment for People Magazine. The magazine was writing a story about deaths that occurred during a sweat lodge at a resort south of Sedona.

MDP_20091025_048_3760My subject Shawna Bowen is a substance abuse therapist who was one of the first people on the scene the day of this tragic event. This portrait of Shawna is my favorite outtake from the shoot. She was a great subject and very kind to allow us to go back to the area where the event took place. The photo below is the road leading down to the valley where the resort is located.

The magazine ran the story in the Friday, October 30, 2009 edition. More information on the story can be found at various locations online. These images can be licensed in the online archive: Shawna Bowen, sweat lodge deaths in Sedona, Arizona

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.
