Mark Fitz Borre
Growing up in a small town in Bicol, Fitz always wanted to explore big cities filled with the potential of many opportunities. But after years of working in a company where everything is fast-paced, he realized that he prefers taking things slow and find solace in places that are mostly away from the crowds. After just a few tries of creating images from these places, he was convinced that landscape photography is where his heart is. The recognition from the contests that he has joined boosted his desire to do better and produce images that are worthy to be called art.
His current job, while hectic, provided him the opportunity to see new places and ultimately capture the images. He believes that they are too breathtaking to be left just as a memory. It fueled an ardent impulse to share what he felt in those moments by creating photos that will give justice to the real scenery and make whoever sees them feel as if they were there - in that particular time and place.
