Red Salon is excited to welcome back photographer Mark Gardner for the month of October. Following in a long tradition of fine-art photographers, he uses the modern camera and darkroom to make images that interpret what he sees around him. Mark tends to photograph whatever he is curious about, and he is curious about a lot of things. Thus, his subjects range across a wide spectrum that includes people, culture and nature. He works in both color and black & white, choosing one or the other depending on which one best fits the photograph he wants to make.
