ReportAbout Mark Robbins
Growing up surrounded by music, it was only natural that music became an important part of Mark's life. Especially influenced by a piano playing great aunt who played sheet music for customers in music stores, Mark was hooked and started taking piano lessons at 8 years old. His love of photography goes back 50 plus years when he photographed his 4th grade class with a Kodak 127 Brownie. In the mid 1980's Mark discovered Herman Leonard's moody photography of jazz musicians and he was hooked. It was only natural for the two loves of his life to marry and music and photography have been his constant companions. Photographing musicians around the country has become his passion and profession.
