About Us

Southwest Focus showcases the work of photographer Mark T Fiedler of Rio Rancho, New Mexico. Mark started photographing the world around him in Middle School, serving as yearbook photographer there and through High School. At age 21 he opened MTF Photography in Southern California, a commercial, portrait and wedding studio. In time he added MTF Photo Labs, the area's premier commercial photographic laboratory, plus a one hour lab at a second location. After 20 years in business, he closed the lab and studio operations.

Having taken several million images, photography became merely a tool in selling real estate (the new career), but not a creative outlet. In 2013 he discovered some new technologies, including HDR (High Density Range) Photography and Metal Prints (photo dye infused into glossy aluminum sheets). These and other new technologies re-ignited his interest. Now he explores his new home state of New Mexico, the adjoining states and occasionally other countries. Hence the name - Southwest Focus. We hope you enjoy this glimpse of the Southwest!
