Mark Seliger

Biography

Mark Seliger was born in Amarillo Texas in 1959, where he lived with his parents, Maurice and Carol Lee, and his two older brothers and younger sister, until 1964, when they moved to Houston.

Seliger's early interest in photography began when his brother Frank promised to give him his Diana camera if he got a base hit in Little League. He didn't get the hit, but he got on base (by getting a walk for getting hit in the shoulder with the ball), and the camera was his. His first love quickly became the darkroom where he began experimenting with printing and developing in the family’s bathroom. He attended Houston’s High School for Performing & Visual Arts and, from there,went on to attend East Texas State University, where his education began in earnest, as he studied the history of documentary photography. He moved to New York City in 1984. In 1987, he began shooting small assignments for Rolling Stone. He was signed as their Chief Photographer in 1992. During his time at Rolling Stone, Seliger shot over 125 covers and began a long-term collaborative relationship with Design Director, Fred Woodward, which continues to this day. They have co-directed numerous music videos for artists such as Willie Nelson, Lenny Kravitz and Elvis Costello.

Mark Seliger currently collaborates with numerous publications such as Vanity Fair, Italian Vogue, Rolling Stone, Harper's Bazaar, GQ, German Vogue, Spanish Vogue.

A partial commercial client list includes Ralph Lauren, St. John, Diesel, Macy's, Rocawear, Capitol Records, Showtime, HBO, Sony Music, The Gap, MTV, Universal Pictures, Pepsi, Smartwater, The Sundance Channel, American Express.
