About MARK AUGUST

Capturing life with passion and energy, I'm a vibrant photographer, bringing the San Francisco Bay Area to life with my lens.

Hi! I'm Mark August, your friendly, energizing photographer from the San Francisco Bay in California. I specialize in capturing the best moments at events, portrait sessions, theater performances, and sporting events. My work reflects a blend of technical skill, engagement, and creativity, ranging from capturing the genuine emotion of a moment, to the skill and talent of breathtaking performances, to the intensity and grit of swift action.
Capturing life's rarest, most genuine moments is my passion. I thrive on making people feel at ease, bringing out their natural selves, and freezing those authentic emotions in time.

For portraits and events, my goal is to make people feel as comfortable as possible in front of the camera, bringing out only genuine expressions.

For theater and sports, I aim for every photo to capture the story, emotion, and raw energy of the moment, to make photos you can feel.

It's more than just a passion—it's a rewarding journey that lets me create lasting memories, ensuring these special moments can be relived again and again, forever.
