Photography

Editorial, landscape, and environmental imagery from Iceland, abroad and from other dynamic regions.

Marco’s photographic work focuses on how volcanic and environmental landscapes change over time. Much of this material is produced on assignment, but the same locations and events often evolve into coherent bodies of work that can be shown as fine art series or prints. He follows the same areas through different phases of activity, documenting how eruptions, storms, and slower environmental shifts alter the terrain and the way people move through it.

Living in Iceland makes this kind of follow up possible. He can return to sites before, during, and after major events, building a visual record that goes beyond single iconic frames. Regular work on Mount Etna adds a second active volcano to this long term view, offering a different setting and a different pace of activity in the Mediterranean.

The images that come out of this approach are grounded in field work and repeat visits. They are built to be clear and accurate, so they can serve editors, researchers, and clients who need a reliable account of events, while also holding together as fine art sequences for exhibitions, books, or collectors.

A field based approach

Photography in Marco’s work is an extension of fieldwork. He returns to the same locations across seasons and key events, building series that compare form and scale instead of chasing single moments of spectacle. The focus is on volcanic terrain, highland areas, glacial rivers and landforms, subjects where observation and repeated access matter more than a single dramatic frame.

This way of working produces material that is useful both for journalism and for fine art contexts. The same careful sequences that help editors explain an event can also be edited into galleries, books, and prints that show how a place evolves when viewed over a longer span of time.

  • Volcanic Landscapes: Reykjanes, Icelandic highlands and volcanic systems; recurring work on Etna.
  • Icelandic Natural Phenomena: auroras, glaciers, rivers, geothermal areas, and their long-term traces.
  • Environmental & Research Contexts: images that sit comfortably beside scientific work, field notes, or documentary reporting.

Available for assignments and collaborations

Most of Marco’s photographic work grows out of journalism and long term field projects. He is available for editorial, commercial, and fine art commissions that need an authentic, place rooted visual approach, including work for magazines, institutions, tourism boards, environmental campaigns, galleries, and private collectors. Assignments benefit from his time on location and from the fact that many of the places he photographs are already part of ongoing field work.

Selected images and series can be produced as fine art prints or installations when a project calls for a more exhibition driven format, while still keeping a clear link to the real conditions and events that shaped the work.

What you can expect:

  • Clear briefs and honest field imagery: Planning stays practical, with realistic deliverables and no overpromising.
  • Location familiarity: including access routes, typical conditions, safety context, and timing.
  • Consistency over time: with the option to revisit sites and build comparative series when a project benefits from seasonality or repeated events. This is useful for editors who need follow up coverage and for fine art projects that rely on sequences rather than isolated frames.

Recognition & exhibitions

Marco’s photographs and reportage have been featured by international outlets including The New York Times, BBC, CNN, ABC, NBC, Time Magazine, Corriere della Sera, and RAI, mainly in connection with coverage of Iceland and its recent volcanic activity. In exhibition contexts, his work has been recognised in Myndir ársins (Photos of the Year, Iceland), where one of his images was selected by jury.

He is available for exhibitions built around his Iceland and Etna series and for collaborations with galleries, institutions, and festivals that are interested in geological, environmental, or long term documentary themes.

Licensing & project use

Still images are available for licensing across editorial, institutional, and campaign work, with a focus on Iceland’s volcanic regions, highlands, and coastal environments, as well as long term coverage from Etna.

Projects can draw on single images, tightly edited short series, or longer visual narratives that support research, education, or destination storytelling. Marco can help select material that fits the brief and provide the context needed for accurate captions and use.
