My name is Mark Jaress, and I am thrilled to share my artistic journey with you. As an artist, photographer, and software developer, I have worked in the industry for over 40 years. I have had the pleasure of being a Founding Member at Altamira Inc., where we developed the Photoshop plug-in "Genuine Fractals" family. This plug-in utilized fractal math to convert digital images into analog images, allowing for the extreme scaling of images from early digital cameras.

My passion for art and technology has led me to become an experienced Digital Asset Manager with a focus on the higher education industry. Through my work, I have developed skills in photography, logo design, video editing, and commercial photography. I am a proud Art Center College of Design graduate, where I gained a strong foundation in arts and design.

My artistic journey has been a rewarding one, and I am excited to continue exploring the endless possibilities of digital media. Whether I am capturing the beauty of the world through my lens or developing innovative software for Photoshop, I always strive to bring a unique perspective to my work. I hope to inspire others to follow their passions and never stop creating. Thank you for taking the time to learn about my art and me!
