Mark Varley - Biography

"I don't believe in God, but women and trees are proof that he does exist"

A rough guide...!!mv2small

Born in the North East of England in 1976 Mark’s childhood was influenced by its moors and wide-open spaces inspiring landscape photography starting at just 15 years old. After a spell in the army he was left permanently disabled and accepted a medical discharge with physical injuries and PTSD. During the next few years he spent time working in the war torn Bosnia and Croatia.
Photography was a hobby that developed into a profession in 1999. His images have been published in many books, magazines, websites and art galleries throughout Britain, Europe and America primarily Landscapes, Wildlife and Artistic Nudes including the highly specialised Japanese influenced rope bondage which he also teaches and performs.
In spite of his disabilities he constantly inspires with his work being followed by other leading photographers.

In 2006 his first in a series of highly collectable bondage books was published - Beautiful Bondage - the art of rope bondage in collaboration with John Grinter.
2006 was also the year Mark teamed up with talented abstract and travel photographer Jan Murphy and Twisted Photography was born, closely followed by Twisted Arts for more artistic works.

2007 Started with another book-based project ‘London Bound’ an artistic study of rope bondage on women of London, many trying it for the first time, photographed in their own homes and in a familiar range of artistic styles, real women in real bondage.
Fine Art Nude and Fine Art Figure are the reasons Mark took up photography professionally and his next book features over 250 photographs of ‘Fine-Art Nude Photography’published in the summer of 2007.

Mark currently lives in London, England and can often be seen with a camera in one hand and a rope in the other.

“I consider myself a photographic artist, I see the world my way and using my camera I capture this so I may show others how I see things and what the world means to me”.
