Me on the tube.

Marcus Hessenberg

Now you know a bit about my portfolio; a bit about me.

I have worked as a Freelance Photographer and Video Director for over ten years but I first picked up an Olympus OM10 when I was 14 (back in 2001).

I moved to London in 2010 after studying Music and Visual Art at the University of Brighton.

I am definitely a lover of cities and spend my time documenting the huge range of people in metropolises. On days off, I tend to still have my camera on me or I’ll be editing my own photography and video projects.

When I go abroad, I set up photoshoots and use photography as a way of meeting people I wouldn’t otherwise meet, or to go behind doors that are normally closed.

I tend to get on with people. This makes photography shoots and video projects relaxed, unintimidating and positive experiences.

You can probably tell, I’m very versatile in the visual arts. My work spans editorial photography and video, documentary and narrative, with experience as a shooting DoP and Director. I can come with a team of gaffers, sparks, camera operators and crew. Let’s talk!
