Mark Hemmings is a professional travel and street photographer, and his photography portfolio can be viewed here. Mark began his career in the late 1990′s when working on feature films and movies as a ‘stills’ and location photographer.
His work broadened to include international travel photography jobs which had him photographing in Asia and Eastern Europe. In 1999 Mark moved to Japan for a year to learn advertising photography, and that year proved pivotal in shaping his lighting style and how he approaches photography within the context of advertising.
In 2004 he developed his skills as a photography workshop instructor, teaching people how to create better photographs in such diverse places as Mexico, The Caribbean, Jordan, Israel, England, Korea, Hungary, and Romania and Transylvania. Mark’s current photo workshops and tours can be found on this web page, and he hopes that you will join him on one of the trips to Italy, Mexico, Spain, or Japan.
Mark has also branched out to offer running and mountain climbing adventures. His first one is September 2025 climbing Mount Fuji in Japan. This Japan Experience is sold out, so a July 2026 version has been created.
As a photography tour/workshop instructor, Mark’s desire is to impart technical and aesthetic knowledge to his participants, as well as offering a fun and dynamic international cultural experience.
Mark is also a published author, having written two books for Wiley Publishing titled “iPhone Photography For Dummies” and Android “Smartphone Photography for Dummies” available worldwide at local bookstores and on Amazon websites. He is also a book editor currently tech-editing various Wiley Publishing books.
