I'm Mark Heaton—a visual artist with a deep passion for storytelling through photography, diorama design, and film. My work spans a unique blend of creative disciplines, from landscape photography and toy photography to building detailed diorama sets that bring miniature worlds to life with cinematic flair.
I specialize in light painting, using long exposure and precision lighting to add atmosphere, depth, and magic to both real-world and scaled-down scenes. Every frame I shoot is about creating a feeling—whether it’s the quiet grandeur of a landscape or the drama of a toy-turned-character under crafted lighting.
In addition to photography, I film and edit "The View with Vertex" podcast, where I bring visual polish and storytelling structure to conversations that matter. My goal is to bridge creative technique with authentic expression, no matter the medium.
Let’s build something visual, cinematic, and unforgettable.
