Phoenix Magazine Cover, December 2009

I recently photographed a cover and feature for Phoenix Magazine on downtown Phoenix called “Love your downtown.” I collaborated with Art Director Brian Goddard on concepts and locations and worked with Shauna Thibault on styling.

The primary model was Lolli LeClaire from Ford/Robert Black Agency and Brad Reed (also with Ford/RBA) was the supporting talent in a few shots featured on the inside of the magazine. It’s the December issue of the magazine and it’s on newsstands throughout Arizona.

Phoenix Magazine “Points of View” Essay

In May 2006, I started working on an photo essay for Phoenix Magazine, called “Points of View.” The idea behind the project was to capture images of situations in and around the Phoenix metro area that a normal person doesn’t encounter on a daily basis. What I didn’t know at the time was that it by the time the project was completed it would be nearly 18 months from the date I started the project.

When the project was finished in the Fall of 2007, it included a number of unique ‘views’ such as: inside the operating room during heart surgery, behind bars at the county jail, onstage during a sold-out concert and a view from the roof of the stadium during a Major League Baseball game. The essay appears as a 12 page spread in the December 2007 edition of Phoenix Magazine. Check it out if you get the chance.

And my favorite image that didn’t quite make it into the essay, although I think it is one of the most unique points of view is the view from the roof of Chase Field during a Arizona Diamondbacks game…

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 and exploring family histories.
