About Mark Chernin 

Mark Chernin uses his photography to evoke an emotional response in his viewers. His love of photography began while he was in college in the 1960’s, a period of social upheaval in the United States that used photography to demonstrate the political activism and national debate the country was experiencing. As he continued to study art, he discovered the paintings of the Hudson River School and was moved by the artists abilities to capture the luminous qualities of light, tonality and saturation. Over the last 6 decades, Chernin has been able to study with prominent photographers, and display his work in national juried fine art photography exhibitions along with several of his own solo exhibitions. Most recently Mark won a First Place in his category at the First Annual National Arts Competition at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (2011).

Artist Statement 

My interest in photography was inspired some 40 years ago when I studied the artists of the Hudson River School of painting. Their “luminary art” depicts various forms of light and inspired me to create images that evoke an emotional response in my viewers. I consider my work as photo art, a creative endeavor that lifts my spirit.   

 

The images that you see are products of yearsoftravel, education and consultation with many photographer/artists. The culmination has been the development of a creative process that I hope to continue throughout my life.  

 

I hope you enjoy these images as much as I did in creating them.
