Commissioned Photographic Art
Art can help define the character of a place. These concepts explore how Mark’s photographs connect with a property’s surroundings, design, and personality.
Collections can draw from existing work, photographs created for the project, or both. Color, scale, and presentation bring the artwork into conversation with the room, whether through a single photograph or a story that continues throughout the property.
Give people something to discover in a place to remember. Talk with Mark about your space and what you’d like the artwork to bring to it.
Cape Canaveral
Mark’s photographs connect the excitement of discovery with the imaginative adventures of childhood.
The collection gives each space its own mood while keeping a shared story of adventure and travel. Printed on the front of a piece of Plexiglass with metal foil hand applied to the back, the photographs take on a luminous, reflective quality that shifts with the light and viewing angle, giving them a three-dimensional quality.
Color, scale, and presentation create continuity without making every room the same.
An Airport Hotel
A hotel lounge is a place between where you’ve been and where you’re going. The airplane, compass, and ship bring that feeling into the room, with the compass in the center connecting different ways of traveling the world.
The other images extend the story beyond the journey itself. Mark can create photographs inspired by the surrounding area or inspiring destinations, or photograph objects that complement the hotel’s character.
Hollywood Nostalgia
Childhood toys bring a playful spirit to a hotel with a colorful personality. Their updated colors and photographic treatment bring a fresh perspective to the nostalgia of childhood. Colors drawn from the artwork carry into the furnishings, making the collection part of the room’s design.
This collection draws entirely from Mark’s existing work, showing how a distinctive setting can take shape around photographs already available. New photographs of personally meaningful toys or other objects could make the collection even more specific to the hotel.
The Bar that was There Before They Built the Hotel
Some rooms feel as though they have collected their stories over time. Art can contribute to that feeling without every photograph sharing a literal theme. Different subjects bring their own associations, giving guests something to discover and a reason to look again.
Here, warmth and a sense of history connect the collection. Framing, scale, and placement allow the photographs to feel collected rather than matched, complementing the intimacy of a bar where people settle in and conversations unfold.
A Workplace with Character
Familiar objects of working life, often in their vintage forms, become a playful, artistic reflection of the modern office. Their history offers a lighthearted connection between the way we worked then and the way we work now.
The collection feels at home in its surroundings, with enough imagination to make an ordinary part of the day a little more interesting. Color, scale, pairing, and grouping give the photographs different personalities.
A Spa in Sedona
In a small hotel spa, art can help create the feeling of stepping away from the day. These photographs invite a slower kind of attention, with familiar objects becoming a quiet focus for reflection.
The artwork takes its direction from the room. Deep shadows, warm tones, and touches of soft color carry into Mark’s photographs. Hand-applied metal foil catches the room’s low light, lending the photographs a soft glow that deepens the intimate, contemplative mood.
