About Me
Marco Larousse ( *1973 in Hamburg, Germany) is an international analog and digital fine art, street, and documentary photographer based in Hamburg, Germany. He has a background in photography of 30+ years. In the 1990’s he developed his passion for classic street and documentary photography. He shares this passion in his workshops, books/articles, or public speeches on street photography. Marco strives to create positive awareness for this important art form by documenting contemporary daily life for future generations in a world where cameras in public are increasingly seen as a threat.
Marco is also an accredited journalist and a member at FREELENS. He has also been producing photography-related podcasts since 2015. In 2017 he co-founded PPN - Photo Podcast Network where he works as editor, host, and producer.

Artist Statement
I’m very passionate about the power and importance of preserving contemporary visual memories for future generations. The ability to tell a story with only one image is what made photography my preferred outlet to express myself. Capturing unique unposed moments to document our contemporary daily life is a challenge that keeps me motivated each day. My work has been influenced by the work of Mary Ellen Mark’s style of documenting life with a lot of affection and respect for the subjects that are being photographed.
