Mark McGrogan Photography
Description
Belfast Born Light Shaper I have been practising photography since my teens, I have always leaned towards the creative following in the footsteps of my brother Stephen who’s passion for art always inspired me.
My early days were spent in a darkroom processing 35mm film and printing Black & White photographs in my mum & dads loft. Those days are long gone now & have since been replaced with Apple Mac’s & Photoshop but my passion for creating a lasting image from scratch still excites me.
I specialise in Studio Portraiture & have a studio at home ( Casa Flash Art ) for all year round weather proof photography , I love the quality that studio light creates giving you that flawless look.
Beyond the studio I adore shooting weddings meeting excited families and sharing in their big days, Producing images to cherish for years to come.
I am fortunate to combine my passion for photography along with my passion for music, Shooting Multi Million Album Selling live bands locally & further afield for Rock n’ Load – A UK based rock magazine doing interviews & capturing the bands in the raw. I guess it fullfills a childhood ambition after staring at so many live albums over the years & all those iconic images.
Beyond photography, I live with my partner Pauline in the sleepy rural townland of Donaghcloney Co.Armagh with my two dogs Izzi & Kobi,Two Cats Stevie & Ray & A fish I inherited from my dad, Mr Fishy
For all of the above I am eternally grateful,
Peace, Love & Good Happiness Stuff.

Elizabeth took part in the @here_i_am_survivor project for cancer survivors here is her story - ELIZABETH I am a mother of four, two of which are my step-children and a grand-daughter by my second marriage to Robert, (aka the Rock). I worked in the care industry for adults who have learning disabilities and have also dabbled in hair and beauty with family and friends. I went to see my local GP with a worrying lump, well, it felt like a plank, a 2 by 4 and I’m not joking! Thankfully my doctor was on the ball and got onto the City hospital to get me seen as soon as possible. I got an appointment on the 28th April 2013, and as results of test etc. and after sitting worrying all day in the hospital, I was asked to go to a room with a doctor and nurse. They broke the news to me, "There had been three objects detected in my left breast but nothing in my right breast". I must've had a feeling the bad news was coming, it was a grade 3 and meant I had to have chemotherapy straight away and...
