marc marnie -
The Dark Man of the Dark Room. Able to capture images of 
musicians in a single shot, leaping upon tall stages into 
the wings to snap a singer, cajole a country western star or
beg a Blues man for a photograph. This legendary lens man shows
at ArtiZIN for the first time. Lucky us!

His Leith home and studio are an array of organised chaos.
Photographs and prints are stacked in piles knee deep, yet
marc knows what is in each one.  Music lines the walls of 
his lounge and if he doesn't like what's being sold on the 
music market, he makes his own compilations.

With a quick eye and a sixth sense for the "right place, 
right time" opportunity, Marc has captured some of the 
greatest stars in the Music Business. The images are 
intimate and personal, spontaneous and expressive. He
disdains the paparazzi style of stealing a shot but 
believes a picture should be given to you, not taken from
the subject. This could account for the respect and attention
he receives from the people he photographs. Marc himself
is quiet and self-effacing, but the power and energy he
captures on film, says it all.
