Hi. My name is Mark Brown. I’m a photographer, FAA certified drone pilot and filmmaker based in Minneapolis. I’m currently the Director of Photography at the University of St. Thomas, where I oversee visual communications efforts across campus. My work has been featured in national ad campaigns, respected film festivals and in numerous publications. Outside of work I am an independent documentary filmmaker and spend a lot of time camping and hiking through the woods with my wife, sons and our rescue dog.
