Marc Santos is a photographer whose work tests conventional ideas of clarity and focus. He creates blurred images that evoke a sense of motion, emotion, and mystery. His photographs capture an expanded reality with more than one moment in time.
Santos combines various techniques to achieve desired effects, such as long exposure, motion blur, lens manipulation, and intentional camera movement. He believes that blurriness can stimulate the imagination and the senses of viewers by revealing more than sharpness alone.
Marc was selected by a jury panel to present his collection “The Spirit of Dance” as part of the 2018 Utah Arts Festival in Salt Lake City. His images have been recognized by several prestigious awards, including Monochrome Photography Awards, and the Prix De La Photographie Paris. November 2023 Marc unveiled new work, “Ballet From Above,” at Art Bath in New York City. The International Color Awards selected Marc’s work for the Professional Edition of their Winners Book for 2024. His photography has been shown in solo and group exhibitions in the US and internationally and is held in several private collections.
