THE REALITY BEHIND THE CAMERA

Mark Bowra was a Royal Marine. Discipline was the standard, not an option. Then came the medical discharge, a serious stroke stripped him of his speech and left him with right-side paralysis.

Photography is not a hobby. It is the current discipline. It functions as mandatory training on long walks, requiring the focus and patience to find beauty in environments that demand maximum physical effort.

The fight is bigger than one man. In 2019, Mark launched The Bowra Foundation. This charity is a direct deployment of his own experience, providing essential support to brain-injured individuals and fellow veterans.
