Bio
Mark Katzman is a photographer based in the midwest. In 2011 Mark was awarded the prestigious cover of the Communication Arts Photography Annual. That same year Mark was named by Luerzer’s Archive as one of the 200 best commercial photographers worldwide, solidifying his place as one of the industry's top commercial lifestyle photographers. His book, Fires, Fuel and the Fate of 3 Billion chronicles the struggle of the energy impoverished in rural India and was published by Oxford University Press in 2013.
Mark began collecting photogravures in 1998. Determined to advance appreciation of the under-recognized process and its significance in the historiography of photography, Mark created and maintains the website Photogravure.com which serves as a comprehensive reference for the medium. Mark and his wife Hilary have three grown children.
