Marco Joe Fazio, creative director & Director of Photography (AOP)

Meet Marco Joe Fazio, the visionary mind and Director of Photography (DoP) whose journey seamlessly intertwines photography, film, and design. Born and raised amidst the enchanting landscapes of Tuscany, Italy, Marco's artistic odyssey began with the magic of the darkroom and the rudiments of photography during his early school years.

His professional narrative unfolds with a two-decade-long venture into architecture, interior, and lighting design. Notably, Marco founded an award-winning architectural studio in Italy, steering a multi-disciplinary design team dedicated to serving prestigious clients in the fashion industry. That marked the genesis of a career that would transcend conventional boundaries.

2008, Marco embarked on a new chapter in London, earning recognition as a Chartered Architect of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). His innate desire to unify the worlds of architecture, design, and fashion through the lens became his driving force.

Marco's dedication and hard work bore fruit when the British Institute of Professional Photography honoured him with the Fellowship certification (FBIPP) and clinched the prestigious Peter Grugeon Award for the Best Fellowship of the Year in 2016. Subsequently, he earned membership in the esteemed Association of Photographers (AOP).
