When Mark Marchesi studied photography at Maine College of Art, he focused on portraits of people. But on a series of extended road trips around the United States, Canada, and Mexico after college, he found himself taking portraits of buildings instead. He continued the practice when he returned to Portland in 2005 and has been documenting the area’s changing architectural landscape ever since. In the third volume of his Greater Portland series, published at the end of 2021, Marchesi captures how quickly Maine’s largest city has evolved in recent years.
