About & Contact

This is the blog site of Formidable Photography – the main portfolio site is here.

Formidable Photography is based in Liverpool in the north of England and is the work of photographer Mark McGowan.  Mark has been taking photos of Liverpool and the surrounding area for the last three years – a lifelong appreciation of the city’s architecture lead him into photography and it is still the main focus of his work.  He loves to produce cityscapes but also looks for the hidden details of the city, trying to show the city from a different point of view.  He is particularly well known for his work with reflections and takes advantage of the newest technology in his post-processing work.  Mark’s photography has been featured in the Liverpool Daily Post, the Liverpool Echo, All Together Now, SevenStreets and N-Photo magazine, amongst others.
