Mark with Travel Air<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hi! I\u2019m Mark Wood, a Dallas\/Fort Worth-based photographer with a lifelong obsession for all things mechanical. I suppose you could say I\u2019m cursed (or blessed) with “seeing pictures” everywhere I go\u2014so my Nikon and iPhone are constantly working overtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a lifelong gearhead, I get an unusual amount of joy from capturing the details that give automobiles, motorcycles, and aircraft their character. The sculpted lines of a grille, the chromed badges and adornments, the intricate mechanics of an exposed engine\u2014these are the elements that transform a vehicle into a piece of moving art. I specialize in close-up, fine art photography that transforms these details into something timeless. I have been shooting things with wings and wheels for about 15 years, and get a silly grin every time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a long career in the tech industry, I finally made the leap to photography full-time. Transportation Arts<\/strong> is my ongoing experiment in sharing the beauty of manmade machines with others, turning pieces of mechanical artistry into fine art prints for collectors and fellow enthusiasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I spend a lot of time at car shows and fly-ins, where passionate owners bring their prized machines to share with the world. I love meeting the people behind the vehicles\u2014hearing their stories, geeking out over restorations, and feeling the energy that fuels this culture. Years ago, I used to drag my kids along with me. Now, my teenage son is the one dragging me to car shows he finds. (Payback?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I\u2019m not behind the lens, I\u2019m elbow-deep in my own project: restoring a 1966 VW Beetle. And if I have my way, building an airplane is next on my bucket list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks for stopping by\u2014I hope my work resonates with you as much as I love creating it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
