Mark Power

De origen británico, nacido en 1959. En su niñez Mark Power descubrió, en el ático de su casa, el aumentador doméstico de su padre, un artefacto que consistía en una maceta situada boca-arriba, una bombilla doméstica y la lente sencilla de una cámara. Es muy probable que su interés por la fotografía se originara en este momento crucial, aunque se decidiera por el dibujo y la pintura a la hora de proseguir sus estudios. Se “convirtió en fotógrafo”, de manera en parte accidental, en 1983, y trabajó en el mercado editorial y de la caridad durante 10 años aproximadamente. Empezó a enseñar en 1992. Este cambio coincidió con una reorientación hacia la realización de proyectos personales a largo plazo que hoy en día se complementan con un número de comisiones a gran escala originarias en el sector industrial.

Mark Power entró en Magnum Photos in 2002.

El trabajo de Power’s ha sido apreciado en numerosas exposiciones (en solitario y en grupo) que han tenido lugar por todo el mundo. Además ha publicado 4 libros: The Shipping Forecast (1996), Superstructure (2000), The Treasury Project (2002) and 26 Different Endings (2007). Es profesor de fotografía en la Universidad Brighton.

Programa

Hace 20 años que enseño en la Universidad de Brighton, en la costa sur de Inglaterra. Además, he dirigido un número de talleres y cursos. Aunque creo que los ‘secretos’ a revelar no existen, si considero que es posible ayudar a cada uno a alcanzar la siguiente etapa en su escalera de progreso personal. Y sin embargo, la enseñanza no es un acto completamente altruístico; he podido contar con el privilegio extraordinario de intercambiar ideas con algunos de los jóvenes talentos más brillantes. No sería el fotógrafo (ni la persona) que soy hoy en día sin todo ello. ”  Mark Power
