Nature Photographer Mark Lissick

Mark Lissick is a professional nature photographer currently based out of Edina Minnesota. However, he has conducted photography workshops in various locations around the world for many years. He also has made presentations to some of our member clubs and acted as a judge for their salons. If you attend one of Mark's presentations, you quickly learn to appreciate the great quality of his work.

The latest edition of Outdoor Photographer ran an article titled the "25 top locations for nature photography". In it many well-known photographers talk about their favorite locations and show an image of their work from it. Mark has two images in that article. One on page 69 from Oxbow Bend in the Grand Tetons and one on page 80-81 taken in Yellowstone. He also offered a Pro tip on Long Low-Light exposures contained on page 89.

The one featuring Yellowstone has been a national award winning image for Mark. I was happy to see it because I sat in the exact same spot Mark was at when it was taken just a year before. I was on Mark's Yellowstone workshop at the time. Unfortunately the Elk that happened by in his image didn't make an appearance for the participants of our workshop.



If you want to view more of Mark's fine work, or review his workshop offerings, check out his website here: Wildlight Nature Photography.

I traveled to Barter Island Alaska with Mark Lissick in July of 2012 to see polar bears as advertised on his site. What a disaster. Mr. Lissick had no reliable transportation available, the guides were unreliable, and we didn't see any polar bears as it was the wrong time of year.
