Mark Nozeman (1971) studied history, subsequently at the St. Joost Academy of Fine Arts where he developed a personal style and vision on photography. One of his first awarded assignments took him to the Middle-East. During his time in the Middle East Mark Nozeman became aware that even such seemingly innocent as the photographic capture of archaeological excavation sites is a loaded issue when historical fiction is part of contemporary society and this encouraged a continuous fascination with the theme of landscape and memory. After graduation (BFA) in 1998 he started a job at the photography collection department of the National Museum of Ethnology (RMV). Through the years different free-lance assignment followed in the field of documentary photography and applied editorial photography.
