About Mark
Hi, I'm Mark.
Here is my website: markwangstudio.com
I'm a visual artist and educator based in Toronto. I recently completed my MFA in Photography at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and hold a BFA from Toronto Metropolitan University. Over the past two years, I've taught photography at the university level, working with students ranging from complete beginners to advanced artists preparing for exhibitions.
My teaching philosophy centers on helping students discover their own creative voice and develop a distinct visual language. I believe growth happens through consistent practice and thoughtful feedback—not quick fixes or trending techniques. We start with your interests, your perspective, and your goals, then build the technical foundation to realize your vision.
I specialize in areas that require personalized guidance beyond what online tutorials can offer:
- Portfolio development and curation
- Film photography and darkroom techniques
- Alternative processes including cyanotype and experimental printing
- Conceptual development and project planning
- Critical feedback on your work
Whether you're preparing a portfolio for art school applications, exploring analog processes, or developing a personal project, I can help you move forward with clarity and intention.
