About My Style As A Fashion Photographer

My work has been described classic, romantic and clean. In addition, some people say my photos are hard and sometimes dramatic. These are all the qualities that make up the perfect image. As a result, I nail it every time. Very important for a fashion photographer.

Where I started As A Photographer

I was born in Napoli, Italy. I picked up my first camera at age 12. My weekly allowance was small but I used it to buy my first camera. It was a Kodak camera. I began photographing the beauty that surrounded me in my hometown. I really wanted to become a fashion photographer. So in high school, I began to take interest in the beautiful Italian designers. I saw them in fashion magazines such as Vogue. Being Italian, it was love at first sight.

Photographer in Rome....(or anywhere you want me to be)

Whether you are looking for a local photographer to capture your brand or a photography expert to design your next fashion shoot, I am the right person for the job. Though I hail from Napoli I now live and work in Rome after spending several decades in Tokyo, Seoul and Los Angeles. As a result, my photography embodies an international style, with elements from Europe, North America, and Asia. 

I was voted FashionTV’s Best Photographer at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival. I know how to get the perfect shot, regardless of the setting. After attending the Institute of Arts in Napoli and the European Institute of Design in Milan, I worked for several Italian fashion magazines, including Vogue Italia, GQ Italia, Vanity Fair Italia, and Marie Claire Italia. I then took my expertise to the United States, where I worked in Los Angeles as a fashion and celebrity photographer. Nowadays, I lend my expertise to brands, individuals, magazines and businesses throughout Europe, Asia and the world.

Where I Learned How To Be A Professional Fashion Photographer

I studied and obtained a Bachelor degree in Photography at IED Milano. Right after that I left Italy and moved to Los Angeles where I worked and lived for about 11 years. I was glad to get right away the opportunity to work for famous fashion photographer Jerry Avenaim as an assistant for a little over a year. Sometimes during my shootings I still use some of the many advices I received from him. After that I was on the beautiful island on Oahu for about 4 years taking a very long a needed break from photography for personal and professional reasons. I restarted my photography career in Tokyo Japan where I worked and resided until 2021. After that I returned to my home country where it all began many years ago. Currently working and residing in Rome Italy.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT ME:
Giancarlo Marino is truly an outstanding photographer (and wonderful person). He has an almost mystical ability to capture the true nature of fashion. We’d recommend him to anyone! – ELLE KOREA
Giancarlo Marino’s photos are STUNNING! They are all just spectacular. We are really grateful. You are just a great photographer Gian! Just very talented. We can’t thank you enough. Thank you! – ZARA KOREA
You have exceeded everyone’s expectations at our March editorial photo shooting! Thanks a million” – HARPER’S BAZAAR SINGAPORE
It was so amazing shooting with Giancarlo! I kept looking for photographers based in Tokyo Japan who would understand what I wanted but I could only find wedding photographers on Google or photographers who did not catch my imagination when looking at their portfolio online. I finally found Giancarlo Marino. I came out from New York to start my modeling portfolio. I love how he captures the inner self of an aspiring model. – JENNY H. / MODEL
Even if I had no experience Giancarlo has the ability and patience to direct a total beginner. He knows how to make her look like she has been modeling for years. He is very thorough and planned every look with me over the phone so that he was totally prepared when I arrived. We shot many different looks as well as some sexy bikini shots. – CHRISTINE F. / MODEL
My experience with Giancarlo was absolutely beneficial to my photography. I feel lucky to have learned so much useful information in these two days. It would have taken months or years to learn this on my own through constant trial and error. In less than a years time I am now shooting paid tests for some of the prominent modeling agencies in San Francisco. I owe so much of this to Giancarlo as he has been a great teacher, mentor, critic and friend. TAKESHI K. / TOKYO PHOTOGRAPHER
My photography workshop with Giancarlo Marino was an exceptional experience. I flew out from California and we packed an amazing amount of shooting. For me, what I took most out of the 5 days was really comprehending Giancarlo’s lighting techniques and how he directs and gets what he needs from his models. I strongly recommend this course to anyone wishing to enhance his or her skills. – JASON F. / FASHION PHOTOGRAPHER
