"We won't just talk about shutter speeds. We’ll talk about the rhythm of the frame, why a certain image 'breathes' while another feels stagnant, and how to build a body of work that feels like a story rather than just a collection of shots."

After three decades navigating the fast-paced world of UK photojournalism and the storied streets of Venice, I’ve realized that the most profound growth often happens away from the shutter button. It happens in the quiet moments of reflection—the curation, the critique, and the refinement of vision.

My perspective is shaped by more than 25 years as a Getty Images photographer and by the unique experience of founding and successfully selling my own photo agency. I understand not just how to capture a moment, but how that moment fits into the global visual marketplace and the long arc of a narrative.

I’ve opened this Digital Studio to offer that same one-on-one mentorship I give in my field workshops, available to you wherever you are in the world.

Let’s move beyond the settings, tap into decades of professional industry insight, and find your story.

The Editor’s Desk: A Narrative Portfolio Review

Option 1 — Written Review (The Red Pen)

A structured editorial critique of your portfolio.

Includes initial selection refinement, as needed, to establish a clear standard.

This is not a light critique. Expect a direct, considered assessment of both the images and the selection itself.

You will receive:

– A clear assessment of your work and current direction
– Notes on sequencing, consistency, and visual coherence
– Targeted feedback on key images
– Practical direction on what to refine, remove, or develop next

This is designed as a working document you can return to as your work evolves.

Format Written report (PDF or document)
Preparation Submit up to 30 images (a curated selection is helpful, but not essential)
Investment €140

Option 2 — Full Editorial Review (Recommended)

Where decisions are made, not just feedback given

This is a deeper, more complete process combining written analysis with direct discussion.

You receive:

– The full written critique
– A 60-minute live session to review the work together

The session allows us to go beyond feedback and into decisions, refining the edit, challenging assumptions, and connecting the review directly to how you shoot and select.

Investment €250

This is not a passive review. Expect direct, constructive feedback.

The Private Atelier: Online Mentorship

If you can’t join me on the cobblestones of Venice or the quiet trails of Transylvania, we bring the workshop experience to you. This is a bespoke process designed for the professional who wants to learn properly, focusing on the experience of making a photograph rather than just camera settings.

The Workflow (The "Marco" Method)

  1. The Briefing: A curated, high-impact Essay sent to you first. Digest the philosophy on a flight or between meetings to set the stage.

  2. The Session: A focused 60-minute 1-on-1 Zoom. We review your images and bridge the gap between theory and your specific eye.

  3. The Mission: A specific Assignment based on our talk to get you shooting with purpose.

  4. The Review: A final 30-minute follow-up for a professional "Getty-standard" critique of your results.

Option A: The Single Sprint

Focus on one specific mastery: B&W Storytelling, The Prime Trio, or Street Narrative—with endless possibilities based on your current level and what you want to achieve.

  • Includes: 1 Essay, 1 Strategy Session, 1 Assignment, 1 Review.

  • Investment: €300

Option B: The Foundation Trio (Best Value)

A comprehensive three-stage journey to transform your photography across three different themes, building your skills over a period of months.

  • Includes: 3 Essays, 3 Strategy Sessions, 3 Assignments, 3 Reviews.

  • Investment: €820

Starting Your Journey: How it Works

I’ve designed these sessions to be as fluid and focused as my in-person workshops. Whether you are in London, New York, or Budapest, getting started is a simple three-step process:

1. The Connection

Click the "Inquire to Book" button below to send me a brief message. Tell me a little about your photography, your goals, and which session you’re interested in (The Editor's Desk or The Digital Studio).

2. The Preparation

Once we’ve set a date, I’ll ask you to share a selection of your work (15–20 images) or specific topics you’d like to master. This allows me to dive into your "visual voice" before we even meet, ensuring every minute of our call is high-value and focused on your growth.

3. The Dialogue

We’ll meet via a private video link (Zoom or Google Meet) for a focused, conversational session. You’ll receive direct, honest feedback and a clear "action plan" to take your work to the next level. No clinical lectures—just a professional dialogue between two photographers
