About Mark Stothard
Western Australian Fine Art Photography for Luxury Homes, Collector Spaces and Architectural Interiors.
Mark Stothard
Mark Stothard is one of Western Australia's most distinctive fine art photographers — an aerial explorer, ocean adventurer and the Managing Director of Echo Yachts, one of Australia's premier superyacht builders.
His photography is the natural extension of a life lived in extraordinary places. From the remote coral atolls of the Rowley Shoals to the ancient gorges of the Kimberley, Mark's work captures landscapes that most people will never see — and transforms them into large-format fine art for homes, galleries and collector spaces around the world.
The Explorer
Growing up in Dampier on Western Australia's Pilbara coast, Mark developed an early and deep connection to the ocean, the outback and the sky. A skydiver, scuba diver, surfer and snow skier, he has spent decades pushing into wild and remote places that few photographers ever reach.
That spirit of exploration is the foundation of everything he photographs. Mark doesn't simply travel to locations — he immerses himself in them, returning again and again until the light, the conditions and the moment align perfectly. The result is photography that carries the weight of genuine experience.
The Craft
Known in photography circles as the 'Stitchmaster', Mark is renowned for his ability to piece together multiple exposures into sweeping panoramic works that convey the true scale and drama of the natural world. Working across landscape, aerial, abstract and underwater disciplines, his technical mastery is matched only by his instinct for the extraordinary moment.
His process is meticulous. From the planning of remote expeditions to the careful post-processing of each final image, Mark treats every photograph as a work of art intended to endure — printed on museum-quality archival materials and built to last a lifetime.
The World He Moves In
Beyond photography, Mark leads Echo Yachts — a world-class superyacht builder whose vessels carry the same values of precision, beauty and craftsmanship that define his photography. It is no coincidence that his prints are found in the same spaces his yachts are built for: luxury homes, architectural interiors and the finest private vessels on the water.
Mark is also closely connected to JahRoc Galleries in Margaret River — a world-class destination for fine art, furniture and design. Selected Inspiral Photography works are available through JahRoc, placing Mark's photography alongside some of Australia's most celebrated artists and makers.
These worlds naturally intersect. The same appreciation for craftsmanship, rarity and the extraordinary that drives Mark's photography runs through everything he is part of.
Signature Locations
The Kimberley
Ancient, vast and unlike anywhere else on earth, the Kimberley is the landscape that defines Mark's work. From the thundering cascades of King George Falls to the tidal spectacle of the Horizontal Falls, these images carry the weight and silence of one of the world's last true wildernesses.
Rowley Shoals
Three remote coral atolls rising from the deep waters of the Indian Ocean, accessible only by liveaboard vessel. Mark's aerial and underwater work here reveals a world of breathtaking colour and isolation that few will ever witness firsthand.
Ningaloo Reef
The world's largest fringing reef system, stretching along Western Australia's remote northwest coast. Mark's Ningaloo collection spans the reef's extraordinary underwater world and its dramatic aerial perspectives — a place where the desert meets the sea.
Rottnest Island
Just off the coast of Perth, Rottnest captures the extraordinary clarity of Western Australian light — turquoise shallows, limestone shores and a timeless coastal beauty that translates powerfully into large-format fine art.
