Marc Koegel is a local fine art photographer, educator, writer and director of Vancouver Photo Workshops LTD. His black and white landscapes, nudes and architecture photographs have been widely exhibited in Vancouver and abroad.
Born in Germany, Marc first came to Canada 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.
He has worked and studied with many internationally acclaimed photographers, including Ralph Gibson, David Hume Kennerly and Jon Cone from Cone Editions Press. Among Marc's keen interest are the creative and transitional techniques used to merit traditional darkroom with the latest digital processes.
"Fun, energetic, focused, personal, interactive, and hands-on are all words I would use to describe my teaching style. In my classes and workshops, I strive to cover both, the art and also the science of photography.
A famous photographer once told me that on the journey to reach our full potential as photographers we first ask "How to photograph". Once we have accomplished technical proficiency, this question changes to "What to photograph". No matter how technical a class may get, I always leave room to discuss the "Why".
As an instructor, I thrive on seeing my students excel and produce work that very often becomes inspirational for me as well as the rest of the group. Teaching should not be a one-way street, but an opportunity for interaction, dialogue, and sharing of knowledge, ideas, and inspiration."
"Marc's skill and enthusiasm for teaching is only matched by his incredibly inspiring photographs. Thank you for a great workshop today!"
