My name is Mark Jaress, and I possess a combination of technical skills and artistic passion. I have spent over four decades navigating the intersection of digital innovation and creativity. During my 15-year tenure as a Digital Asset Manager and staff photographer, I developed and refined my expertise in digital asset management. In this role, I focused on optimizing the convergence of art and technology by ensuring accurate metadata and meticulous image cataloging. Along the way, I established Zazzu Fine Art Printing, a business in which I skillfully fused my passion for art with digital accuracy in order to produce fine art prints for my clients.

My technical expertise is firmly grounded in the development of state-of-the-art technologies, such as the Genuine Fractals collection of Photoshop plugins at Altamira Inc., of which I was a founder. I have been an award-winning senior digital artist developing immersive web experiences for major entertainment studios, for both Television and movies, where I developed websites, games, and inexperiences.eriences.

I've been an avid reader since childhood, having read over 20,000 books with a heavy bias towards science and science fiction.

I publish insights that reside at the intersection of technology and art on Medium. As I investigate the convergence and divergence of these realms—from the complexities of digital asset management to the fine art of printmaking and the development of digital imaging technology—our visual and digital environments are profoundly influenced. Join me as we engage in dialogues that shed light on the aesthetic appeal of technology-driven craftsmanship and the craftsmanship inherent in technology.
