Mark Harris is an exhibiting photographer from Metuchen, NJ. Beginning as a teenager, when he processed his first B&W film and prints, Mark has been interested in photography as both a means of telling stories and as an art form. He was Photography Editor of his High School Yearbook and continued making photographs when in college. Graduating with a BS in Electrical Engineering from Rutgers, Mark began his career with the Engineering Department of a major television network where he has since specialized in on-air graphics systems. In 1994 he began volunteering with the local Girl Scouts documenting events and working with local media to get the scouts publicity. He also has led numerous Photography Workshops for the Girl Scouts. He has attended classes and several workshops at International Center for Photography, The Center for Photography at Woodstock, five summers at the Maine Media Workshops, and a workshop as part of the Palm Springs Photo Festival. Mark now works exclusively in digital which allows the ability to explore new areas including the use of color.
