Mark Philbrick
From College of Fine Arts and Communications
Mark Philbrick graduated from BYU in 1975 with a degree in Communications.
The following year, in 1976, Philbrick accompanied one of the performing arts teams on a trip to Europe to take photos documenting the monumental tour. Before the end of the trip, Philbrick was informed he had been hired as the Brigham Young University's first full-time photographer.
Since that time, Philbrick has been instrumental in portraying BYU's image to the world. He has traveled the world, accompanying researchers and performing groups, and has captured some of the most memorable moments in BYU history.
He has been named photographer of the year six times by the University Photographers' Association of America, though most members of that organization receive the honor only once in their careers.
