About the photographer

Marcus has a passion for travelling and nature - which provide the main inspiration for his photography. His interest in capturing images was triggered by an unforgettable trip around Australia way back in 1998 where the wildlife and vast colourful landscapes blew his mind. Of course, this was pre-digital, so he has a few albums full of ageing 6x4 prints taken on his first camera, a cheap Pentax SLR and even cheaper zoom lens. 

Since then he has entered the addictive world of the digital SLR - most recently acquiring a Canon EOS 5d MkII - together with a bag of lenses. In the summer months he can be spotted lying prone near ponds photographing dragonflies and other insects, with the MP-E65 or Sigma 105mm macro lenses. He loves Japan, where he has spent several family holidays and business trips. The people, the nature, the neon.....it's all there to be captured. 

Marcus  maintains his photography website, was a member of Cambridge Camera Club (where he won Travel Photographer of the Year 2010) and has been known to inhabit flickr as .mushi_king.

He has various buddies who continue to inspire him in photography most notably:

Nigel Cooke
