Me
Hello! My name is Markos Berndt, and I'm a self-taught landscape and fine art photographer based in Wisconsin. For over 15 years, I've been chasing the perfect shot, capturing surreal views of the world. What started as a creative outlet has blossomed into a core part of who I am, much like a seed planted in fertile soil that grows into a towering tree.
Photography isn't just a hobby for me; it's a way of seeing and experiencing life. If you want to see my best work, check out the image pages on my website. You'll find a gallery that showcases my journey through this visual adventure, much like a storyteller narrating tales of distant lands.
In addition to photography, I also build websites. My digital creations are scattered throughout this site, a testament to my love for both visual and technical art forms. Whether you're interested in hiring me for a project or just want to connect and chat about life, feel free to reach out using the contact form. I eagerly await your message, ready to embark on new adventures and share stories along the way!
Gear
Canon has been my brand of choice for more than 10 years; it's what I am comfortable with.
Choosing my camera gear is like selecting the right tools for a master chef. Canon provides the seamless functionality and ease of use that lets me work with the precision of a well-honed knife. My diverse lens collection, featuring Tamron, Samyang, and other Canon variants, expands my photographic palate, allowing me to capture the world in all its flavors.
Among my treasured lenses is the 17-35mm, my trusty sous-chef that has been with me since my initial venture into digital photography, helping me plate the most breathtaking landscapes. While one tripod usually suffices, having a reliable backup is like keeping a spare spatula in the kitchen—because you never know when a culinary (or photographic) emergency might strike.
Print Information
Although the shop only contains acrylic prints in metallic or glossy (Fuji Pearl), this is my personal preference for printing. I can print on any paper or paper size for most images in the collection. If you send me a message using the contact page and fill out the form, just be sure to select prints from the subject boxes. I can get just about anything printed from wraps to mounting as well as an estimated cost, and if for any reason I cannot print a current image or something special, I'll send you a message promptly
Acrylic
These prints are mounted to acrylic for the richest, deepest colors of any display method. It??™s my personal choice for prints as they are ready to hang out of the box with a floating mount system for display. It makes it look like the print is floating off the wall. I promise these will look stunning on any wall and are relatively maintenance free.
All Acrylics include:
Print on paper of your choice - FREE upgrade to SuperGloss
- 1/8” Acrylic front
- 1/8” Dibond* back
- Router finished edges
- Inset 3/4” deep Aluminum subframe
- Cleat hanger and security screw
Metal
Metal prints are my other preferred method of getting prints done, because of an edge to edge print with no bulky frames. They have a very glossy finish, which brings out deep rich colors. They will look amazing hanging up on your wall.
Your metal print is fused at high temperatures creating a tough yet attractive piece of art. We offer sizes from 8”x10” to 40”x60” for most images.
- Base Color: White or Brushed Aluminum
- Surfaces: HighGloss or Matte
- Corners: Square or 1/8" round for $2 more
Custom Prints & Other Information
I can print on papers if that is what you need. Just send me an email detailing what you need and I will send you a quote.?
*From the printer: Our Metal Print panels are coated in a state-of-the-art facility. Small imperfections including craters and bumps are a natural part of the coating process. We inspect every sheet and try to place any imperfections in parts of the image where they are least likely to be noticed. We cannot remake Metal Prints due to these imperfections since they are an inherent part of the process. markosberndt.photography also inspects every print from the printer before shipping to you.?
