The Story: Mark spent two weeks in the Scottish Highlands in January 2023 in order to create a series of very dramatic images. “Sentinel” features a lone tree on the banks of Loch Etive. This location is reached by a long, winding, single track road which was featured in the James Bond film ‘Skyfall’. As with many of Mark’s images, he spends hours setting up his shot and waiting for the right conditions for the exact effect he wants to create. This image was taken in low light, with long exposure to capture the atmospheric, swirling dark clouds perfectly.
Mark Z Alvarez, originally from East London, has made Cambridge his home for over twenty years and is an established member of its vibrant and thriving arts community.
Mark has always been passionate about the arts, whether it’s music, theatre, literature, painting or photography. He was in three operas at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, as a child. However, his primary passion has always been photography, with early influences being Ansell Adams, Robert Doisneau and Henri Cartier Bresson.
Discouraged from pursuing arts qualifications at school, Mark decided to become a professional photographer later in life. He is self taught and now exhibits in Cambridge and London.
Due to his love of travel Mark frequently enjoys discovering new, breathtaking and thought-provoking locations. Often, his subject matter is chosen and captured to provide a surreal and other-worldly atmosphere intended to stimulate the viewer's imagination.
Mark is also a management team member of Cambridge Open Studios, a prestigious organisation founded nearly fifty years ago that represents over five hundred artists and makers.
