About the author
Natasha Martinez has worked side by side with Mark Maryanovich over the past decade. Award-winning Photographer Mark Maryanovich has captured an impressive variety of artists including Chris Cornell, Billy F Gibbons, Bob Rock, Chad Kroeger, Elliott Smith and Henry Rollins. His photographs appear as album covers and artwork for companies such as Sony, Universal, EMI, Warner Chappell Music, and Mark has been nominated four times and received two Canadian Country Music Awards for Recording Package of the Year.
Mark’s commercial Clients include Gibson Guitars and Peavey Electronics, and his work has been published in Rolling Stone and Billboard magazines. Mark had the honor of providing the author photo for Model Woman: Eileen Ford and the Business of Beauty by Robert Lacey (best-selling biographer and historical consultant on the award-winning Netflix series The Crown), and book cover Images for the legendary Randy Bachman’s autobiography Vinyl Tap Stories, and Matt Sorum’s autobiography Double Talkin' Jive: True Rock 'N' Roll Stories from the Drummer of Guns N' Roses, The Cult and Velvet Revolver.
Mark has been recognized by the prestigious Photo Review magazine competition with his selection as a prominent entry, and by the California art community, with his placement as a finalist in the Images From A Glass Eye International Juried Photography Show, and honorable mention in the American Icon Art Competition. Because of his work in this genre, the esteemed Annenberg Space for Photography selected Mark to be part of their slideshow exhibition Country: Portraits of an American Sound, which celebrates the pioneers, poets and icons of country music.
Mark’s Images stand out from the masses with a unique quality, a quality created by a unique style of shooting; an experience that captures the raw essence and beauty of his subjects.
