Mark Denton (born 1971 in Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England) is a British landscape photographer working mostly in the North of England. He is best known for using a Fujifilm panoramic film camera and producing images using the 6×17 film format. Mark Denton was born in Lincoln in 1971 but moved to Sunderland, North East England at the age of three, living there until studying at university. He graduated in humanities from the University of Humberside (now the University of Lincoln) in 1994 and worked in various roles for UK booksellers Waterstone's including a spell as manager of the branch in Scarborough. Mark Denton's photographic career began with experiments using a 35mm in his garden in Hunmanby, North Yorkshire, but it was a meeting and ensuing friendship with the landscape photographer Joe Cornish that inspired the move to photographing the countryside in larger formats. Choosing the panoramic photography format favoured by Scottish photographer Colin Prior, he initially set out on a project to record the Yorkshire coast. After producing his own range of postcards the project eventually became a book entitled ''The Yorkshire Coast'' published by Frances Lincoln in 2006 including texts written by local author Graham Taylor. The publication won the Yorkshire Post's 'Yorkshire Book of the Year' award in May 2007. A second book quickly followed from publishers Constable & Robinson with the title ''London – The Panoramas'' and a third book covering the English Lake District was published in September 2007 with text from mountaineer Sir Chris Bonington. A second volume of Yorkshire work was published in November 2007, entitled ''The Yorkshire Moors and Wolds''. He is currently working on a 400-page work on England due for publication in September 2009, and sponsored by the publisher Constable & Robinson. A self-made film documenting parts of the project is also in the offing. ==References== * (You may think you know the Yorkshire Coast ), ''York Press'', 23 September 2006. * (A fresh perspective ), ''Yorkshire Post'', 23 September 2006. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mark Denton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
