Mark Muniz is a Chicago-based photographer working in digital and film formats.

Drawing from an upbringing spanning trans-oceanic environments, Muniz's carefully composed images reveal the depth and complexity of the subject as well as the artist. Like a researcher meticulously composing a narrative from facets both subtle and vibrant, Muniz utilizes natural and devised illumination, spontaneity and direction to enlarge the inherent story thrumming in the ether. No topic is off limits, and his creative foundation as a musician harmonizes with a nuanced observational gaze to throw light on the lyrical energies of friendship & family, expression & collaboration, justice & love.
