Pacific Marketing Designs released the on-line exhibition of acclaimed photographer Marc Silber; it is already receiving kudos, but there’s more to the story…
Marc Silber has been a professional photographer for 40 years whose images have left a durable impression. Silber studied photography at the celebrated San Francisco Art Institute, but this was where he put polish on his already prolific and memorable work. The startling fact is that he began selling and publishing his work when he was only 13. Some of his most astonishing and memorable shots shown in his exhibit are from that era. Silber’s exhibition covers a full range from action shots, to candid portraits to landscapes. His series of shots from Sierra Madre Mexico gives us a rare glimpse into the remote mountain region above Mazatlan, days by jeep and foot. He tells of the people being so grateful for the medical help that his project brought that he was allowed to photograph and capture their life in a completely intimate manner, reminding us of the work of Henri Cartier-Bresson. But then looking at one of Silber’s next images one is reminded of Ansel Adams or one of the Westons, showing the tremendous range and depth of his work.
As one visitor to the exhibition put it, “These are beautiful photos and really evocative... even those which depict places I've never been to. I can see your affinity to Ansel Adams…”
Silber’s exhibit is natural and refreshingly void of the hyperbole we have seen encroach on photography in our digital age. His work seems as though he were having a causal conversation and somehow managed to record his own impression without the artificial use of a camera. When we asked him about this Silber laughed and said, “isn’t that the whole point of photography?”
