About DL Marker Photography
I'm a alternative portrait and lifestyle photographer recently re-located from Las Vegas to the Pacific Northwest. My love of photography stems from my desire to capture a moment, a glimpse of the individual as they really are (or a part of who they are). A great photograph is a small peek directly into someones soul - a looking glass that captures a brief moment of real human expression. “Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited, and the wealth and confusion man has created. It is a major force in explaining man to man.” ~Edward Steichen My work is often compared to “Street Photography” or referred to as “Alternative Portrait” I believe in both references people simply recognize the photographing of expression rather than of a simple subject. I am certainly not limited to one genre or style, human expression can be found in any, but there are some areas that have lent themselves more to my approach than others; Alternative Portrait, Urban/Live Photography, Unique Event Photography, Erotica - Homoeroticism and a focus on the LGBTQ Community. “For the world is movement, and you cannot be stationary in your attitude toward something that is moving.” - Henri Cartier-Bresson Recently I am a bit obsessed with the work of Carl Van Vechten (early 20th century) and it has pushed me more towards portrait photography with a twist. I do find myself searching old photography for inspiration and a few of my favorites are; Carl Van Vechten, Edward Steichen and Henri Carier-Bresson. In all three cases they brought a unique vision that they shared with the rest of us - a brief glimpse into the essence of the person photographed. Credit Notes
