Mark is a creative and well-spoken individual, constantly reimagining New York City with his photographs. In his own words :
“My name is Mark Robertson also known as Markthecraft. I’m a 17 year old medical science student at Midwood High School, currently residing in Brooklyn, New York. In my free time I enjoy exploring and capturing moments with my camera. In late 2012, I began to use my first camera and ever since then I fell in love. Just the idea of being able to capture a moment and fine tune it caught my interest right away. In the long run, I hope to show another side of New York that no one has seen before with a variety of photographs.”

Very excited to have him joining the EX LOCUM team!

I first heard about Brigid because of her writing talent, but lately I was asked to look at her film photographs. It is remarkable what a brilliant artist she is! Upon first glance at her portraits, one is able to see that she uses her camera to interlace “in the minute” facial expressions or poses of her subjects with a deeper perception of who they are as people. At least that’s how I see it The faded “dagguerreotype-ish” feel of her photographs makes them seem eternal, relevant to any time period. An interesting thing she mentions in her interview, is that she enjoys people seeing the photos she’s taken of them and then getting a better idea of how she sees them. I think that’s quite a perfect way to sum up what art is. It’s all about taking the world around you and filtering it through yourself, in this case, through Brigid’s camera lens.

Amanda Whiteley is an incredible photographer. I met her a year ago in England – where we were both studying acting – and it was then that I began to see just how uniquely talented she was not only as an actress but also as photographic storyteller.

It rained quite often and one day, as we were walking down the street, she suddenly kneeled next to a puddle to take a quick shot. I was utterly confused at first, then I saw the picture she took. That puddle was next to an architectural beauty which made an amazing reflection in the water at the right angle. Amanda saw all this while we were talking and took this as an opportunity to create a vibrant masterpiece. She says that she loves finding the extraordinary in plain objects that most people would normally overlook, I must say, she succeeded. Watch the video to learn more!

Stasia is a gifted photographer. A resounding theme throughout her art is the idea of raw beauty, beauty that is not perfected, beauty that is caught at a moment of candor.
