Born, 1970 in Munich to German and Argentinian parents, Marco lived in Paris as a teenager and finished his education in New York and London with internships at BMG and MTV Europe. In 1994-1995 he attended The London Film School and stayed in the UK to continue his film making directing Pop-Promos for BMG as well as developing his skills as a photographer. 

 

In 2000 he got his first commercial break and was commissioned to shoot a series of images for The Body Shop for their worldwide campaign focusing on Human Rights which was shot in Israel, Zimbabwe, Philippines, USA and Peru which also led to an Exhibition in London. 

 

This proved his forte for shooting stills with a distinct cinematic feel. Marco feels best acting as the submerged observer in situations without too much staging so the viewer can feel the participant not the voyeur of the image. Marco, an experienced photographer and DOP, speaks four languages and lives in Munich.
