Mark Hilliard
A Landscape, Wildlife & Fine Art Photographer for 58 years, Mark has extensively traveled the world chasing his photographic visions.
Mark runs Mark Hilliard, ATELIER, his private digital and darkroom studio in Pawleys Island, SC where he practices fine art nature, landscape and Wabi/Sabi images.
Mark specializes in Large & Medium Format film photography and creates ALTERNATIVE prints with his Van Dyke Brown and Platinum/Palladium printing. This is a process from the 1840's where the emulsion is made by hand and coated directly onto special hand made paper with a brush or glass rod, dried and exposed in a UV light box. Then developed in several chemical baths. You can see examples of this in the WORK tab above!
While Mark shoots high resolution digital, but he loves working in Medium & Large format film as well. He has three 4x5 cameras and several medium format systems (see below). He processes and wet mount scans all of the negatives, both B&W and color. Samples of this film work can be seen in the WORK tab above! He tends to shoot about 80% in film.
