Stupendous Photography By Mark Antman

Early life of Mark Antman

Earlier, Mark just clicked photographs casually since it was his hobby. He took images of all types, which were published by many publication houses. However, as years passed by he became more passionate about photography and realized that this is where he would positively succeed in.

Mark Antman graduated from the New York University with Chemistry and Biology as his subjects. His passion towards photography was seen while he was in college. He attended various photography competitions, and while attending such events he was introduced to Alan Carey, who also shared the same passion and attitude towards photography and hard work as Mark.

This combination of likeminded people led to the creation of Image Works and this photo studio was established in 1983. With their passion and ability, the image works grew day after day. Antman used his lens to capture superb pictures and these simple pictures were converted into wonderful art creations. This attracted more customers and his growing popularity, as a cameraman increased rapidly.

Mark Antman worked his entire life and tried to add fresh angles and dimensions in photography. The dedication and hard work brought him huge success and recognition. In the year 1993, Mark and Alan brought wide-ranging changes in the Image works.

Alan was also actively involved in brining new shape to the photo studio, which helped them to get a number of projects. This tested their capability and after the successful journey through the crucial phase and challenging tasks, the Image works became a full fledged photo studio.

Personal Activities

Though Mark has passed out with a medical degree, he was less interested in it and instead he was more drawn towards photography.

With proper organization and great ability, Mark Antman surely has a number of years to flourish and his superiority of work will make him attain huge success in the world of photography.

After the retirement of Alan in the year 2001, the responsibilities of Mark increased. Several people conveyed their wish to join Mark as copartners, but he decided to carry on the venture single handedly and managed things very efficiently. Due to his expert work and ever increasing popularity he was hired for special appointments and tasks.

The extra ordinary work of Mark brought in huge clientele and even in the absence of Alan, he managed both administration and work of the photo studio. He later hired people to help him in the tasks related to administration. Mark was keen on photography and loved it as his profession.
