Reviews

“People like to put a story to the art they look at. That aspect really comes across in the work. We can see where the two aspects of his life [author and photographer] really complement each other.”
—Samantha Goss, Union Street Gallery, “Union Street Gallery exhibit examines art of photography,” Chicago Tribune, September 23, 2015.

“‘Shadow Play’ by Mark Coggins abounds with a sense of adventure, discovery and companionship. The dynamic composition pits running kids against their playful shadows and corrals contrasting tones, textures and lines into a square format brimming with vitality.”
—Elin Spring & Suzanne Révy, What Will You Remember? photography magazine

“Goes a long way toward capturing the personality of this young competitor… Freeze[s] a moment in time at an important cultural event.”
—Ray Mark Rinaldi, Fine Arts Critic, “Photography center’s latest home makes for a pretty picture,” Denver Post, December 4, 2023.
