Marcus Bastel is a London-based artist who studied Fine Art at Sheffield Hallam University and the Rijksakademie Amsterdam. For the last 20 years he has focused solely on photography, developing his own style which strikes a balance between fine art and documentary, combining landscapes and cityscapes with portraits to tell compelling stories.
He has travelled through North America for various projects, including ‘My Trip to Mars’ and ‘Faces of Mustang’. Projects made in his adopted home of London include ‘It’s a Bad Day, Piss Off’, about a 7th generation family business of undertakers, ‘Corona Mornings’, and ‘The Dialogue with Nature’ which combines images from past work and new images. He is inspired everyday by the world around him and the stories within it.
