The pictures of the British photographer Mark McGee are filled with dynamics and energy, as if they are shots from an action-thriller. He easily wields light, a camera and post-processing programs, creating incredible images and presenting himself and his models as the heroes of dynamic films.
Mark McGee is an English portrait photographer and content maker of Instagram and YouTube. Mark began his creative career not with photography, but with an actor's career.
The first camera was a Pentax analog camera, which McGee bought 25 years ago. Then, about ten years ago, Mark started making portfolio shots for his fellow actors, which led him to The British Academy of Photography. Since then, the photographer has been making professional portraits for actors, producers, casting directors, music artists and models, as well as advertising brands on Instagram.
Using Capture One as a starting point, Mark edits images in Photoshop and Affinity Photo. However, according to McGee, light is the main component of his successful shots. This is followed by a composition that Mark verifies very carefully.
