EP43 A Lifelong Passion for Photography with Mark Bloot'hoofd (Photo Awards Judge)

The Camera Life

Mark Bloothoofd brings over 30 years of experience as a professional photographer and more than two decades as a well-established presence in Camera Club competitions.

As the Photographic Manager and a senior photographer at Arthur Reed Photos, he leads a team of over 35 photographers, specialising in school photography and extending into corporate, promotional, sports, and event photography. In addition to managing a large team, Mark is dedicated to training and nurturing new talent in the field.

Beyond his role at Arthur Reed Photos, Mark has captured countless commercial and domestic projects, and his work has taken him from press photography at The Portland Observer to stills photography for independent feature films.

While photography is Mark’s profession, it’s also his lifelong passion. Through his camera, he continues to explore, document, and celebrate the world, finding inspiration in every scene he encounters.
