Mark Bauer  Mark first became interested in photography while living and working abroad, but since returning to the UK in the early 1990's, he has found inspiration in his local surroundings of Dorset and the New Forest. He completed a City and Guilds course at the Arts Institute, Bournemouth, in 1994. Since then, his pictures have appeared in numerous national and county publications and have been used for book covers and on cards and calendars. He is a regular contributor to the UK photographic press, in particular Digital SLR Photography magazine, and in 2007 wrote their 'Landscape Masterclass' series. He shoots stock images for various stock agencies, including the fine-art image library Trevillion Images. His first book, 'Romantic Dorset', was published by Halsgrove in April 2008 and his second, 'Perfect Wiltshire', in 2010. Having shot Fuji Velvia on a Pentax 67 for a number of years, in 2006 he made the switch to digital and now shoots mostly on a Canon 5D mark II and Canon 1ds II.
