Nico Marques’ easy-going, yet highly focused approach to capturing images is shaped by his international training in architecture and photography, as well as years of experience as a commercial and residential designer at leading boutique architecture firms in Los Angeles.

Combining his passion for photography and architecture into one became obvious one day, so he decided to step away from his desk, get outside a lot more, and help promote his friends’ and colleagues’ work as an architectural photographer in Los Angeles. He has been capturing projects and their typical inhabitants in the best light possible ever since, and this journey as documentarian storyteller has now completed its first decade.

Nico was invited to exhibit his work at the Venice Biennale in 2018 and 2020, and his work has been published in books and magazines worldwide, including Architectural Review, Dwell and Trends. Two books are in the making as well, which have been getting a bit more well-deserved attention in the last few weeks.
