My name is Mark A. Whitaker, I am a 2007 graduate of Brooks Institute of Photography. I specialize in portrait, event and sports photography. I am inspired by many different aspects of photography but would say most of my work is on the Glamour/Pin up side I am drawn to that style because of the creative freedom it allows me.
I am currently working on a project photographing heavily tattooed models for an upcoming gallery show. My goal is to capture the model's inner beauty as well as their fabulous ink work.
