Marcus Bastel is a London-based photographer with a fine art background studied at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam. For the last 20 years he has focused solely on photography, developing his own style, striking a balance between fine art and documentary photography, between land or cityscapes and people aiming to tell a story with either.
He has travelled through North America for various projects, including ‘My Trip to Mars’ and ‘Faces of Mustang’. Other recent projects include an urban street photography collaboration for an architecture column and an ongoing project documenting a 7th generation family business of undertakers. It is people and their stories, that inspire his work.
