Fred Marcus Photography became a dream of a young man immigrating to the United States from Germany during WWII. After leaving Germany, Fred Marcus arrived in Cuba and because of red tape had to make it his home for almost two years. To make a living and support himself, Fred took photographs of other immigrants and their families on the beaches of Cuba.
He developed them in his bathtub at night, making his bathroom a makeshift darkroom. Most of Fred's photographic knowledge was self-taught and he was considered a brilliant portrait photographer. After arriving in the United States, Fred decided to set up shop in New York City. The studio is still in the same location that it was 70 + years ago, only much larger.

Brian Marcus
Report
A wise man once said: "Find a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life". For me, photography is more than a career; it is a vital part of who I am. I was introduced to the art of photography at a very early age. My late Grandfather, Fred Marcus, and my Father, Andy Marcus are both highly celebrated photographers who instilled in me a great passion and wisdom for the craft.

Anton Martynov
Report
Originally from Siberia, Anton fell in love with New York City after his first visit and made it his goal to return and fulfill his creative ambitions! Today, Anton is a commercial photographer specializing in wedding and sports photography, as well as a professional dancer. Anton is (literally) quick on his feet and loves the excitement and energy of capturing special events!
Leslie Farinacci
Report
Prior to moving to New York City, Leslie had built an extensive portfolio of Wedding & Portrait photography in Cleveland, Ohio. Nature was her first 'subject', as she loved hiking with her camera, observing and playing creatively with details, composition and light. In college she explored portraiture, and found joy in making a genuine connection with people, and in return producing a genuine portrait.
