Judge: Mark Alberhasky

Photographer, author, inventor, physician. Mark's photographic experience spans over 35 years.

Describing a niche for Mark's work is difficult. Describing his trademark style is not. Strong graphic design and bold use of color are the common theme in his images, and the reason his work has caught the eye of clients such as Nikon, Lowepro, Hewlett-Packard, DxO, magazine editors, galleries and collectors. His work is as diverse as it is unique. A passion for special light drives his style, and his subjects range from travel to actions sports, iconic advertising images to custom theme photoillustration.

In 2004 he became a contributing photographer for Nikon, was featured in Nikon World Magazine, and regularly shoots for Nikon advertising. His work has received awards internationally and appears in placements as diverse as commercial ads, medical journals, sports magazines, and corporate installations.

A Nikon mentor for American PHOTO magazine and international speaker, his presentations and unlikely career inspire audiences. Author Tony Luna was so struck by his passion and success that Mark's story is subject matter in his book on reinventing yourself in the arts.

His unique eye and love for travel combine to produce stunning graphic photos, with the four corners of the map as backgrounds in which he finds inspiration.
