Framed Glastonbury, Large For Sale

Driven by his love of his vintage magazine collection, photographer, Mark Vessey became interested in the concept of personal collections. His work involves photographing neatly-stacked journals, LPs and even vodka bottles to capture the aesthetic beauty and joy of owning a collection.

My work is about trying to establish a sense of order. There is comfort in collecting things, studying things that people take for granted, grouping everyday objects in such a way that they become something special, seeing how they fit together to become a thing of great beauty.
