About Mark Stevenson

I’m Mark Stevenson, a Tampa-based commercial photographer specializing in advertising, corporate, brand, and editorial photography. My career spans more than four decades, from the film era and Hollywood production to military service and today’s digital commercial work.

I bring that experience to assignments requiring strong lighting, clear visual communication, disciplined production, and professional collaboration with agencies, creative teams, businesses, and talent.

A Life Behind the Lens

Photography has shaped my life for more than four decades. My career began in the film era and included formal photographic training, work in Hollywood production, commercial photography, and later military service that took me away from the profession for many years. Returning to photography in Tampa brings those experiences together and influences how I approach clients, production, and visual problem-solving today.

Photography & Professional Background

  • Brooks Institute of Photography graduate, 1983

  • Early career in Hollywood production, studio management, and photography

  • Founded Stevenson Photography in North Carolina, serving commercial and editorial clients

  • Transitioned into U.S. Army and national-security service

  • Returned to commercial photography in Tampa, Florida

Now, I’m bringing that same discipline, creativity, and professionalism back into full-time photography.

Working With Mark

I approach assignments as a collaborative production partner. Whether working directly with a business or alongside an agency, art director, producer, stylist, or talent, my goal is to create strong imagery while keeping the production organized, efficient, and focused on the client’s visual objective.
