Nico Marques
Los Angeles - photographers
Nico Marques’ Los Angeles-based architectural photography practice is shaped by his training in architecture and years of experience as a residential and commercial designer. This has given him an edge in not only drawing out the subtleties of each design, but also a deep understanding and respect for what it takes to turn an initial sketch on a cocktail napkin into a three-dimensional structure.
Nico sees his role as a documentarian and a storyteller, meaning that he shows what is as well as what should be from the designer's point of view. His collection of architectural images represents the full story for a project, integrating the designer’s vision with the permanent and temporary inhabitants’ actual interaction with the building.
Nico has shot for many internationally renowned architects, and was invited to exhibit at the Venice Biennale 2018. He has been published worldwide, including in Architectural Review, Architectural Record, California Homes, Contract, DETAIL, DWELL and Trends.
