Mark James Dunn has risen to the top of the industry as both a photographer and director. Based in Boston and New York, his fashion editorials and wide range of clients have appeared in numerous fashion and photography publications. It is a skill he found achievable through time and patience with the unfamiliar, teachers and unexpected lessons along the way.

“I never set out to be anything in particular, only to live creatively, to use my hands and imagination to push the scope of my experience through passion and adventure. The freeze frame, means much more than just the subject it holds. I’m hypnotized by unfamiliar frontiers; this is where my heart beats hardest and my mind expands with purpose. I try to pay tribute to that magic through how I feel it in my heart and feel in my spirit.”
