The Expertise & Dependability you Deserve

Mark is a native of the Ozarks and his interest in photography began when he was in his teens. He received a Kodak 35 mm Rangefinder as a gift, then enrolled in a class at Robert Johnsons School of Photography. He remembers the first time he saw an image develop in the dark room and describes it as magic. Early in Mark’s career he had a chance to work as an assistant for a local commercial photographer, Marsha Boone.

Mark began working in the lab at Lawrence Photo & Video in 1988 and became the lab manager in 1989. Now Mark has brought the skills and experience he gained from Lawrence to his business, 417 Photo Works.

Reviews of 417 Photo Works from Google Reviews & Facebook Reviews

“Why shop online when the locals can create what you want at a better price and in a faster time frame! Worked with Mark to get some canvas prints stretched for a birthday present and he was able to get it completed in just a couple days.”

“Mark Shipley and the staff at 417 Photoworks are excellent! They have helped me on multiple occasions to get great digital copies of old family photos and videos which I am working to archive. They understand the heartstrings tied to our pictures and live action shots, and they work to preserve it in the way that our family will have lasting and versatile history records. They have always been timely and careful with our photos and also reasonably priced.”

“Mark Shipley is always accommodating and helpful to my printing needs. He personally sits down with you and your image on his computer screen and makes suggestions that would enhance and make the image better when printed. I’ve never had that service with any other printing service in Springfield.”

“I had Mark restore a 45 year old photo of my bride to be and our first son. I was shocked seeing it, it was so good… I highly recommend 417 Photo Works. Good Job, Mark.”
