Wilson Road Studios

Welcome to my online gallery.


Over 35 years ago I began my photography career as a stringer and photojournalist for a small town Illinois newspaper. This was during high school, where the demands of the job quickly taught a young photographer how important it is to make one image tell the story. And if not the whole story, one picture must tell a keenly critical aspect. Later I enjoyed a variety of commercial gigs including the honor of portraits with U.K. Prime Minister Lady Margaret Thatcher, Nobel Laureate Professor Elie Wiesel, Secretary of State Colin Powell, Nobel Laureate Dr. Arthur Kornberg, and First Lady Barbara Bush.


Over time, my artistic avocation merged with my biomedical vocation. I increasingly concentrated on B2B marketing and later developed marketing creative at a global pharmaceutical and chemicals company. Leveraging commercial success in the visual arts, an adult vocation in medical science, and a growing base of marketing experience, I went on to found an advertising agency serving the health, science and technology sector worldwide. With photography and design remaining such an incredible passion for me, I have enjoyed maintaining an active photography studio for both my commercial clients as well as friends, neighbors, a few celebrities and the people in our community.


I hope what you see here brings back wonderful memories from the event we covered for you and tells a stirring story about the people, places, and things chronicled here. If you like what you see, let us know and share it with others.


Enjoy the tour. - Mark Lepinske
