Mark Harpur @theharpur

Principal Photographer

Part 107 licensed drone operator and traditional digital photography professional.

Arizona-born, well-travelled.

“I've got the Southwest in my blood: growing up feeding the chickens and riding horses; weekends soaking in the authenticity and character of Southern Az; living at the base of the sacred peaks in Flag; camping the North Rim of the Grand Canyon or in a vineyard amongst the sky islands on assignment down near the border.

I've been steeped in it my whole life.

A thousand road trips across the state and continent as a kid thanks to my parents; camping for weeks in Yellowstone, the Tetons, Cape Blanco, Sleeping Giant; walking the glaciers of Banff or following the path of the Voyageurs across Canada.

Spending alone time watching banana slugs in the redwood forests, partying on the beaches of SoCal.

Expansive reach

Exploring Europe and the cities of North America for culture, food, fun, style, and inspiration. I have lived rural and urban, high class and salt of the earth; this depth of experience informs my eye on the world as a photographer.

Whether it's the sleek lines of a contemporary building, the raw, expansive beauty of the Sonoran Desert, teasing contrast from the stark Mojave, or the genuine emotions of a fun portrait session, I strive to create images that feel both authentic and timeless.

In commercial and motor photography, I aim to blend modern aesthetics with the enduring spirit of the Southwest and unique locations across the world.
My fashion and editorial work seeks to capture a sense of bold creativity, rooted in the history of bold architecture, colors, and spirit of the region.
And in lifestyle and product photography, I focus on revealing the beauty in the everyday, finding the extraordinary in the ordinary.

Let's tell your story

My approach is collaborative and professional. I want to understand your vision and work with you to bring it to life, creating images that resonate and endure. The rich tapestry of the experiences I've had shapes my eye and inspires my art. I'm passionate about telling stories through images, and I'm excited to tell yours.
