Mark Tade's photography featured in Boundary Waters

A background in fine art and over 30 years in commercial and editorial photography have resulted in an extensive client and publication list. After years of large-format camera and darkroom work I have found the transition to digital cameras and printing invigorating and exciting. My partner, the artist and teacher Nancy Purington (www.nancypurington.com) and I have inhabited a rambling, 150 year-old farm house surrounded by gardens, meadows and woods on the outskirts of Iowa City for over 40 years. Trips to canoe country on the border of Minnesota and Ontario provide a busman’s holiday each year.

Archival inkjet (giclee) prints are available of many of the images on this website. Contact me for sizes and prices.
