Mark Jenkins

California Gothic

2005

Originally based in San Francisco, Mark Jenkins spent the majority of his career working as a commercial photographer and graphic designer. He spent his last 10 years working from St. Petersberg, FL. He was largely known for his portrait work with models. But in his more personal work much of the magic actually happened in the computer. The result are digital prints that may be based in reality, but only use that as a starting point for beautiful images that play with light and shadow, mixing the surreal with aesthetic precision and clarity. The viewer is presented with a provocative experience, whether it is born of the intimate sensuality of the human body, or extraordinary flowers and landscapes. All of Jenkins fine art digital prints are printed on hahnemuehle paper with archival inks.
