He worked for Playboy when he was 13. At 16 his first assignment with Rolling Stone was to shoot a portrait of Bon Jovi.
From child prodigy to legend, Marc Hauser, a Chicago photographer, made his name by staying open to opportunity and working available resources on the job. To Marc, his philosophy is about making great art from nothing. It is a philosophy and style that attracted fig media owners James and Michele Gustin to Marc.
“I heard about Marc and his approach to photography when I first came to Chicago,” says James, “I was and still am drawn to his single light source simplicity and I agree with his philosophy about art -that there is no separation between fine art and commercial work, he connects fine art into his everyday life like I do.” “He shares our point of view, that art and good portraiture is about relationship: to self and to subject.” says Michele.
Five years ago Marc faced a challenge that he was not prepared for, an accident that rendered him unable to work, now he is back and collaborating on an ongoing studio relationship with fig media inc that will transform the landscape of Chicago photography, portraiture and art.
To formally welcome Marc back to the Chicago photography scene, fig media is booking portraiture sessions with Marc for an affordable rate you won’t want to miss. Contact fig media @ info@figgy.net or call 773.338.1334 for more details.
