Mark Edward Harris started his professional photography career doing the stills for The Merv Griffin Show and various television and movie companies in Los Angeles. When the show ended, he set off on a four-month trek across the Pacific and throughout Southeast Asia, China, and Japan. The images created on that trip brought attention to his travel and documentary photography. Since then, he has visited all seven continents and photographed in more than 100 countries.
Among Harris’s numerous accolades are CLIO, ACE, Impact DOCS Award of Excellence, Aurora Gold, Sports Photographer of the Year Gold, and IPA awards. His photographs are included in collections around the globe, ranging from the Shanghai National Library to the George Eastman Museum, to the Sir Elton John Collection and more. His editorial work has appeared in Vanity Fair, LIFE, GEO, Time, Newsweek, Wallpaper, Stern, Condé Nast Traveler, National Geographic Traveler, Vogue Brazil, Elle Canada, Esquire Japan, Harper’s Bazaar, Italian GQ, The Los Angeles Times Sunday Magazine, and other publications. Harris’s latest book, The People of the Forest, focuses on orangutans and received first place in the nature book category at the International Photography Awards.
