Mark Fiennes - A Photographers Life

Mark Fiennes was a photographer for more than thirty years. Although eclectic in vision and subject matter, the photography of art and architecture in all its aspects, of the landscape and gardens became an area of specialisation. Mark Fiennes enjoyed working with people and was equally at home with colour or black & white in either small or medium formats.

Over the years, Mark Fiennes built up an extensive client list, ranging from major international museums to Britain's stately homes. In 1985, he was commissioned by the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC to illustrate a catalogue for the acclaimed Treasure Houses of Britain exhibition. In 1994, he travelled to Prague, to photograph two major works by the architect Joze Plecnik for the Phaidon Press Architecture in Detail series. In 1997, he documented the restoration of the state rooms in Windsor Castle for the Royal Collections.

Mark Fiennes was also commissioned to illustrate books for a number of British and American publishers such as HarperCollins, Random House, Thames & Hudson, Hamish Hamilton, W. W. Norton (NY) Publishers, Pitkin Guides, Michael Joseph and Yale University Press. Between 1983 and 1995, he regularly contributed to Country Life magazine. Mark Fiennes also worked closely with a number of well-known British institutions such as:

• The Colefax & Fowler
• Duchy of Cornwall
• English Heritage
• Foster and Partners
• The National Trust
• Save Britain's Heritage
• Sir John Soane's Museum
• The Suffolk Preservation Trust.
