Margo, here. Photographer and videographer specializing in documenting community-centered people.
After completing a contract with the Philadelphia Inquirer and Philly Parks and Recreation, I established my studio to produce engaging content for those I once only photographed from the sidelines.
I pride myself in photographing people who are not typically staged in front of a camera. This includes a surgeon performing a corneal transplant, a historical society preserving a disappearing minority language, and a jazz artist releasing their first album. I work with community-centered people whose stories have not yet made it to national news.
You will never find yourself striking a pose in front of me. When we work together, I place you in your your element of comfort. We will spend a time in pre-production, production, and post-production, working together for anywhere from 2 minutes to 2 years.
My work is inspired by traditional visual and oral storytelling used in news photojournalism, but I utilize modern visual technology in equipment, specifically lighting and post-production.
I've had images featured in People, New York Times, NPPA's News Photographer Magazine, The Associated Press, and the Philadelphia Inquirer, among others. Some of my frequent clients include artists, news, and nonprofit organizations.
I run a woman-owned business. I am first on deck as your lead photographer / videographer at any shoot, but I also utilize a team of talented photo and video colleagues to step in or assist when needed. More information below.
