Profile Photo of Mark Roche

Iā€™m a photographer specialising in creating fine art images of landscapes, portraiture and headshots as well as being a qualified drone pilot.

My journey into photography began in 2019 where I initially focused on street photography during photo walks where I met like-minded people, and it was a way of connecting with the outside world. I used this as a means of therapy and self-care which helped me to heal the mental health struggles that I was experiencing. In spite of being blind in my left eye, I discovered that my good eye had an ability for capturing moments which might otherwise go unnoticed.

Having spent the majority of my life in London I have been fortunate to capture elements of the city enabling me to share interesting aspects of the urban environment from different vantage points during the day and night. I love to create compelling multi-faceted images of light, shapes, textures, and emotions to show you what makes a city beautiful.

I have developed a passion for capturing the beauty of nature and the outdoors in my landscape images. Through these, I aspire to bring you into the scenery, the setting, and the feeling of the locations, some of which are steeped in history.

A turning point for me was at the beginning of 2023 when my image of Dovercourt Lighthouse was shortlisted in the History Hit Photographer of the Year 2022 competition. In addition, I was incredibly proud to have this image published in Digital Camera Magazine, March 2023.

I am passionate about my personal and professional development which inspired me to study for and successfully achieve my A2 COFC drone pilot licence to enable me to meet the needs of both my personal and commercial clients.

Whether it is fine art images, portraiture, headshots, commercial projects, or drone photography, I am committed to meeting your needs by delivering professionally created images.

I look forward to connecting and collaborating with you to discover your world through a lens!
