Behind The Lens

My name is Mark Sties. Tourism became part of my creative DNA as I grew up up in the history rich state of Virginia. I explored Jamestown, Colonial Williamsburg, presidential homes, battlefields and world class museums of all kinds. I went on to receive formal art training from VCU’s School of the Arts. And today, as a Digital Storyteller I’m combining my passion for tourism and architecture with my skills as a professional photographer.

You may be involved with museum marketing and want some breathtaking HDR photographs for new materials. Perhaps you are in charge of tourism development for a convention and visitors bureau and are interested in Historical Photomerge for a smartphone tour. Or maybe you’re leading a historic preservation effort and want an iconic photo to rally support. How can I help tell your story?
