She had been initially dispatched to Rome by Look magazine in 1969 to shoot Federico Fellini as he was making Satyricon and, over the years, photographed the making of more than 100 movies, including Mike Nichols’s Catch-22 (1969), Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now (1979) and Baz Luhrmann’s epic Australia (2008).From 1998, when she first photographed the annual Twins Day festival in Twinsburg, Ohio, her work became both more formal and more ambitious, but she still saw it as essentially documentary. In 2001 and 2002, she returned to the festival, each time with a crew of 12 assistants, a huge 20x24 Polaroid Land camera weighing 250lb, and a studio tent complete with set and lighting designed by her husband. The resulting portraits, published in book form as Twins (2003), are both charming and slightly strange. Likewise her series Prom, from 2012, in which she pursued a fascination with the formal rituals of American high schools that had begun back in her cheerleader days at high school in suburban Philadelphia.In 2014, Mark was awarded the Outstanding Contribution to Photography by the World Photography Organisation at the Sony photography awards in London and lifetime achievement award from George Eastman House in New York. “I care about people and that’s why I became a photographer,” she once said. Her empathy showed through in all her work.
