Weinberg (BA ‘09) Will Present the College of Fine Arts and Communications’ Annual Alumni Achievement Award Lecture on October 8.
Renowned photographer and CFAC alum Mark Weinberg is returning to BYU. He will present his lecture, “Finding Beauty in Uncertainty,” on Thursday, October 8.
Weinberg works as a commercial photographer and director based in New York City. His love of photography began at 10 years old, when he saved enough money to buy a 35mm Pentax camera. In 2009, he earned his BFA in Photography from Brigham Young University and has spent the last seventeen years building a career focused on food, interiors and lifestyle imagery.
Mark loves working alongside creative directors and teams of food and prop stylists to tell a visual story. He has created advertising campaigns and editorial work for Target, Wayfair, Levain Bakery, GreenPan, The New York Times and has photographed several New York Times bestselling cookbooks.
In August 2025, Mark was diagnosed with brain cancer and paralyzed after removal of the tumor. Through miracles, prayer, excellent doctors, treatment, rehabilitation and support from his family and community, he re-learned how to walk and has since returned to work behind the camera. Mark and his wife, Liz, live in NYC with their two sons. They love exploring everything NYC has to offer, including art, food, music and all of the Central Park playgrounds.
Join us to hear Weinberg’s inspiring story in the Recital Hall in the Music Building on October 8.
Lecture Date and Time: Thursday, October 8, 11:00 AM
