Marc Sarkis Gulbenkian was born in Paris, France, in 1961, but has lived practically all his life in Lisbon. Marc photographs are mostly from his travels. His photographs often capture the human condition, highlighting both the beauty and challenges faced by individuals around the world. He is a big follower of Steve McCurry work, an acclaimed American photojournalist known for his powerful and evocative documentary photography.
He holds a PHD from the “University of Reading”, in the United Kingdom and has worked for two decades in the direction and coordination of “International Cooperation projects”, which allowed him to contact a diversity of peoples and cultures. At the same time, he has always dedicated himself to photography, publishing, as an author or in partnership, the following books: in 2014, “Lisboa e o Tejo” sponsored by the Heritage Hotel chain; in 2017, “Lisboa, o Tejo”, everything with text by the writer António Mega Ferreira; in 2019, “Santo António, de Lisboa e Pádua, Viagem a uma devoção ímpar”, by the author and writer António Mega Ferreira, which originated an exhibition in February/March 2020, at the Santo António Museum in Lisbon.
