Brands, Agencies, Publications
Commercial photography clients are not buying images, they are buying certainty: that the shoot happens on time and with ease, that the art director gets the exact look they need, that the images tell the story, and that the brand walks away looking better than ever. Marc Pagani excels in New Orleans commercial photography and international branding photography that stands out.
New Orleans & Worldwide
New Orleans wedding photography is not just a set of pictures, it is an art form molded by hundreds of years of culture-based traditions that make up a day with a shape — six chapters that each carry moments that cannot be repeated. Only a New Orleans Wedding Photographer with 30+ years of experience and over 1000 weddings shot can anticipate every moment and uniquely capture it with ease, creativity, storytelling, and artistry.
ONE HOUR TO SEVERAL WEEKS · ONE LOCATION OR A WHOLE COUNTRY · THE MORE REMOTE, THE BETTER
30+ years of ALWAYS having more gear bags and heavier luggage than the average traveler has led to some fantastic moments away from New Orleans. The travel photography archive below is organized by continent, but the through-line is the same everywhere: beauty of subject first, then light, then composition, then color, then people, then the patience to wait for it all to coalesce and the know-how to turn that moment into a lasting image.
New Orleans, Louisiana
