“Most responsive company in the world. Their operating hours do not follow any time zone. They must be aliens…“ - Venkay Films, director.

“Having personally delivered 50 billion tacos to NM Productions, my arms have never looked better.” - Sophia Iemola, caterer, Heirloom LA.

"I was once told that I was becoming a boring adult. And it was true, I didn’t like the person I had become. I was no longer using my creativity but rather wasting my gift at a dead end office job. So I then decided to take a chance and change everything about my life. I followed my passion for photography and delved into an extensive education, which was completed at Art Center College of Design, from where I graduated with honors. Even with this, I don’t feel I will ever be done perfecting my craft technically or creatively, I don’t wish to put a limit on what I will accomplish.

My work is full of colour, whimsy and playfulness and reflects my sense of an inner joy, and optimism about life, as well as a rich inner life. While working with various clients I have been able to use my business background in conjunction with my photography to help achieve the desired results in the images that I create for them. I specialise in art direction, photography, styling and editing and I create commercial photography used for print, digital and packaging."

Nico Marques’ easy-going, yet highly focused approach to capturing images is shaped by his international training in architecture and photography, as well as years of experience as a commercial and residential designer at leading boutique architecture firms in Los Angeles.

Combining his passion for photography and architecture into one became obvious one day, so he decided to step away from his desk, get outside a lot more, and help promote his friends’ and colleagues’ work as an architectural photographer in Los Angeles. He has been capturing projects and their typical inhabitants in the best light possible ever since, and this journey as documentarian storyteller has now completed its first decade.

Nico was invited to exhibit his work at the Venice Biennale in 2018 and 2020, and his work has been published in books and magazines worldwide, including Architectural Review, Dwell and Trends. Two books are in the making as well, which have been getting a bit more well-deserved attention in the last few weeks.
