My name is Mark Fearnley and I\u2019m a London-based Fine Art Street Photographer. A painter (artist) by profession, I first got into photography about 10 years ago as I wanted to widen my creativity – so I decided to put down the brush and replace it with the camera. Both are art forms that share so many similarities, like composition, focal point and use of light. I started to shoot and experiment by using puddles and glass for reflections and later by using layers.<\/p>\n
I then joined social media and discovered creative photographers, and I found that I liked both the genres of fine art and street photography. I loved the deep blacks of high contrast and found myself more drawn to black and white images. With black and white, I could tell there was more potential for creating an emotion, mood and atmosphere that I felt I couldn\u2019t achieve with colour.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t look for people, I look for scenes. Graphical, geometric forms and\u00a0minimal scenes draw me in. It may be the light, the lines, or the shapes and patterns: anything to add mood and significance to a solitary figure being dwarfed by architecture in this vast world in which we live.<\/p>\n
