My name is Mark Allwood and I am a photographer, filmmaker, musician, and PhD from El Salvador based in Ontario, Canada. I shoot a diverse range of genres including street and city photography, new topographics, abstract photography, and landscape. My photographic interests are not fixed or clearly defined because they stem from the philosophical pursuits of my day job as an academic.

I am also a filmmaker and sound designer and I compose music with the experimental music ensemble Commander Goznales. My films explore the boundaries between artistic creation and philosophical thought through experimentation, improvisation, and the utilization of theories in an implicit or explicit manner. In my photographic and cinematic work I tend to explore themes of landscape, ruins, decay, environmental dangers, post-human experiences, duration, banality, post-colonialism, critiques of capitalism among other ideas that make up my research interests.

You can contact me for prints of any photograph you see on this website or on my Instagram account. You can also visit my darkroom page for prints with frames directly through them. Links below.
