At the early age of 10, Mark Antman had seen his future career. Mark found an old enlarger and asked his mom to set up a darkroom and buy the needed chemicals for the enlarger to work. His mother did not fail him and so his love for photography bloomed. The years went by and he took up Biology and Chemistry at NYU. This did not stop him from playing with cameras’ lenses and shutters. He continued his photography enthusiasm and worked as photojournalist in France. While taking pictures in a contest in New York, Mark met Alan Carey who eventually became his business partner. Both are in love with the art of photography, they started from a spare room in Mark’s own house. Eventually, the Photo House, which was called Image Works slowly, prospered which made them move to bigger locations for four times. They ended up in a building in Woodstock, NY.
By the year 2002, business partner Alan Carey retired and left Mark Antman to be the sole owner and manager of the Image Works. From there, he became more determined to push the success of the company to greater level. Two moves helped him a lot, and these are when he signed the company up for the ASPP or the American Society of Picture Professionals. The other move is joining the Jigsaw website. The ASPP helped the company to be educated and informed on the latest trends and methods of achieving great photos. Image Works indeed had better products since then. On the other hand, Jigsaw helped Image Works pull clients from different countries closer.
