.ABOUT MARK TURTOO

I’m a visual artist, a photographer and storyteller infusing life into the stories that populate my head. constantly exploring new ways to create and always trying to implement new techniques and experiments in what I do, I have been mixing cinema with my images for a very long time now, to the point where it can be considered an essential part of my style.

I create dark and moody images based on loneliness and the intricacies of the human psyche, choosing a cinematic styling to better establish the story that each image wants to tell. More often than not I will use myself as the (unfortunate) subject of the shots giving it one more layer of personal involvement in the project. Props and make-up are also all self-made (for the moment) and particular care is put in researching fitting locations (duh). With each shot I strive to improve various aspects of my process, all this to ultimately be a more complete and resourceful artist.

There’s no greater joy for me than seeing people inspired and moved by what I create, you are in fact free to join me on this journey and intertwine our stories. Who knows what great things we can come up with.
