Professional Photographer in Majorca

Marcos Molina (Palma de Majorca).

Vocational artist and photographer specialized in nature landscape.

THE BEGINNINGS

I started practicing photography at the age of 15, inspired by the natural beauty of Mallorca. The decades of 1980, 1990 and 2000 represent a progressive learning of the technique as well as a deep understanding of local environmental conditions.

Consistency, discipline and a spirit of improvement have allowed me to acquire solid experience over the last 35 years, materialized in an extensive unique photographic collection of the natural landscape of Mallorca and the Tramuntana Mountains in particular.

BOOK AND RECOGNITION

I have published images in multiple travel magazines and have collaborated in a variety of editorial works and advertising campaigns such as the Unesco Candidacy for the Sierra de Tramuntana in 2011. In 2016 I published the book Llums de Tramuntana. The same year I was awarded first prize at the Glanzlichter international nature photography competition in Germany, in the landscape category.

CURRENTLY

Professional photographer since 2010, currently expanding horizons in commercial initiatives, such as production of content in real estate and nautical areas as well as long-term construction timelapse video.

Member of AFONIB (Balearic Islands Association of Nature Photographers).
