Marc Koegel
title
Icelandic Waterfall Series
During several journeys from 2012 through 2016, Marc Koegel pointed his lens toward Iceland’s amazing waterfalls, some well known while others well off the beaten path.
This ongoing project uses long exposures during daytime hours and the finished images are presented in black and white.
Photographer Marc Koegel won first prize at the prestigious PX3 Photography Awards in 2015 for this series, earning him the distinction of landscape photographer of the year.
His black and white long exposure landscapes, nudes and architectural photographs have been widely exhibited in Vancouver and internationally.
Born in Germany, Marc first came to Canada (where he now lives) in 1996 to earn an Economics degree. He has been seriously involved with photography ever since he was given his father's camera and darkroom setup at the age of 12 (Yes he fits this stereotype).
Marc has worked and studied with many internationally acclaimed photographers, including Joe McNally, Mary Ellen Mark, Greg Gorman, Arthur Meyerson, Jay Maisel, Ralph Gibson, David Hume Kennerly and Jon Cone from Cone Editions Press.
Marc's photography has won several international awards including the IPA (International Photo Awards), Spider Awards and PX3 (Prix De La Photographie Paris). Marc's work has also been featured on numerous web sites and photography blogs and recently on the Phase One website. Few photographers have the combination of photographic as well as educational experience Marc is known for. Years behind the lens and in front of students all add up to valuable experience.
To create his fine-art photographs, Marc uses the finest equipment available today; large format film as well as an 80 megapixel digital back on a technical camera. He travels extensively, his camera has taken him to over 50 countries in the last 2 decades.
