Photography – Toronto
Born in Canada, Mark Essner moved with his family to Bermuda as a young child. His earliest memories are from exploring the beautiful island as well as seeing the world during annual family vacations. Eventually the family returned to Canada, settling in Waterloo Region. Essner’s love for photography was present as soon as he was old enough to use a camera. He is a self-taught photographer who as an individual is firmly rooted in the artistic community. Seeing so many others share their artistic gifts inspired him to become more creative himself, using his tools ; his eye and his camera--to create his own art. He lives in Waterloo with his wife & daughter in a household full of creativity and imagination. Mark’s classroom is the world and he enjoys exploring more of it every day. He has been thrilled to be showing his work throughout Ontario and has plans to show abroad in the near future. Mark now has a studio/gallery space in Globe Studios in Kitchener.
