Location Portraits

On Site, Anywhere

A location portrait photography sessions puts a person in the place that explains them. The kitchen, the workshop, the corner office, the mountain, the rock face, the stage. My location portraits combine natural ambient light, portable studio lighting, and all of the skills I've learned crafting that studio light into something that looks like the perfect ambient light just magically showed up, helping to make you look your best

I bring the portrait photography studio to you: strobes, modifiers, stands, and radio triggers. We shoot outdoors at the time of day that has the most interesting, beautiful light, or rooms that look impossible in which to shoot.  Fluorescent ceilings, glass walls, mixed daylight are the normal working condition, not a problem.

Typical uses are executive and team portraits, press and editorial photography assignments, personal branding photography, annual-report photography, or any other situation where the perfect location portrait photography is needed. Turnaround for a selected, retouched set is 2-3 weeks, faster on request.

“Exceptional experience with our daughter's senior pictures! We came in from Michigan. Marc immediately made my daughter feel comfortable and took her around to all of the best spots. Great communicator, very responsive to what we wanted. I seriously can't say enough great things. If you are considering Marc as your photographer, DO IT!! You will be so happy you did!”

“I worked with Marc for photography for my website as I was launching my new business as an executive coach and consultant: MTS Coaching & Consulting. I flew Marc in from New Orleans to Marin County, California for a week of shooting on Stinson Beach, Mt. Tamalpais and in Napa. Marc was not only easy and fun to work with, he exceeded my expectations in terms of capturing the essence of my character which is the face of my business. My website is now live (mtscoaching.com) and I've gotten numerous compliments. I can't recommend him enough.”

“Marc does fantastic work. He is an absolutely consummate gentleman and goes far out of his way to make his subjects feel perfectly at ease. There is no finer person in whom to place your trust for photography of any sort. If you’re still searching then look no further; the best is Marc Pagani.”

“We are from out of town, and planned a vacation to New Orleans/Mexico (cruise vacation). My daughter is in love with the French Quarters, and wanted her senior pictures taken there. I took a leap of faith (after spending hours on Yelp reading reviews), and decided that Marc Pagani Photography was the obvious photographer to use! He was so nice, had a creative eye for beautiful photography, and had our pictures ready super fast! Being from out of town, so much could have went wrong. I'm pleased to say that he made sure that everything was super smooth! zero complaints here! 10/10 would recommend!!!”

“Marc personally got in touch with me after a yelp request. This was an impromptu and sentimental session. Thank you Marc and Ryan. The picture here is mine not professional.”

“Working with Marc was a treat! I was introduced to Marc via my friend, Bella Blue, and found that our photoshoot at the very beginning on Covid-19 in New Orleans was a huge treat. We went out to document the very empty streets on St. Patrick's Day, make some art, play with light and color, and soothe our souls a bit with creation. Marc was SUPER professional, always asking us to define our boundaries & quickly but patiently getting some really complicated shots. I can't recommend him enough! You should DEFINITELY Work with Marc!”
