His most famous work is his shipping forecast work. He traveled to all 31 locations in the UK covered by Radio 4's shipping forecast. This work has similarities to the work of Tony Ray-Jones. Between 1997 and 2000 he was commissioned to cover the construction of the Millennium Dome in Greenwich. This along with his '26 different endings' work is my favorite of his work.
Power now works predominantly with large-format and colour film.
Taken from the Mark Power wikipedia article.
This is my favorite of his images of the Millennium Dome. I love the lighting and the perspective in this image. I also like the 'geometricity' to this image.This is from his Shipping forecast work. I love all the different tones and the contrast in this image. I really like the simplicity.
