**Mark Lamb** is a photographer based in Scarborough, England, whose work is distinguished by a brooding, gothic sensibility and a deep engagement with psychological and emotional states. Working primarily in portraiture and conceptual fine art, Lamb explores themes of memory, identity, grief, faith, and the passage of time. His images often sit at the threshold between documentary and the symbolic, drawing viewers into quiet, unresolved narratives. Influenced by northern coastal light, religious iconography, and historical photographic processes, Lamb’s visual language is restrained yet intensely atmospheric. He frequently employs dark tonal palettes, minimal staging, and carefully directed gaze to create portraits that feel introspective and timeless. Texture, shadow, and silence play as important a role as the sitter themselves. Lamb’s practice is research-led, with projects often unfolding as extended series or exhibition-led bodies of work. Recent themes have included memory decay, ritual and mourning, and the fragility of personal history, reflecting an ongoing interest in how photography can function as both evidence and elegy. His work has been exhibited and submitted to national portrait competitions, including the Taylor Wessing Portrait Prize, and is held in private collections. Alongside his fine art practice, Lamb continues to refine a distinctive photographic voice rooted in place, introspection, and emotional honesty.
