Marc Synwoldt

An amateur photographer and evolutionist Pentaxian. Marc picked up his first SLR at the age of fourteen, but without a darkroom he grew increasingly frustrated with the tribulations of analogue photography. It took him a while to fully appreciate digital, but then he embraced it wholeheartedly. The unprecedented level of control, the power to give images that finishing touch that would make them match his memory of a scene - it still seems like magic to him. Which hasn't changed his conviction that there is merit in getting things right in camera, rather than posterizing images to death. Much of his work falls under travel photography (in its broadest sense), which is little wonder since he shoots a large portion of his images on walks and trips, but otherwise he will capture just about anything that compels him to grab his gear. Marc lives in the Lower Rhine region, near the Dutch border.
