What has been making
you smile lately?
A question I constantly ask myself
Because I consider a smile much deeper than just the physical action
More importantly, a smile can open your world up to endless possibilities
Strangers Today | Friends Tomorrow
All it takes is a simple “Hi…”
I am on a personal journey to connect
Trying to connect with incredible souls
Learning from passionate people
Living a life, I can be proud of
Come join me and have some fun
Hi, the name is Marcus Lewis, if you haven’t gathered already
This is the one stop shop to your Brooklyn, New York based Photography needs
Welcome to my fun photography world
I would love for you to be part of my process!
I’m an ’86 baby, who eats way too many cookies for his own good.
Taking photos is a life of learning lessons for me
While learning what makes you tic and move around in this world, in turn, I started learning more about myself
You are the reason I do this
I want to get to know the side of you people rarely get to see
Spending time laughing, talking about life, and joking, all while shooting for 27.6 minutes is a growing motto of mine.
My goal is to get us both out of our own heads.
Soften all those pesky insecurities.
Do away with any type of fear of being in front or behind the camera.
We are here to grow together.
We are here to break out of your shell, expand our comfort zones, and have fun while still capturing your true essence in every picture.
…but seriously, come hang with me. Lets create some amazing photos together

The Photo Story
I had my first taste of photography back in high school
Watching friends play with film photographyBut, photography was definitely not something that clicked in my head yet
A taste is a taste though…
Later down the road, I still did not grasp the art of it all …
“what is being creative?” Questioning it all!But I took those photography classes in college hoping to change my perspective…
I definitely ended up learning a bit about the technical aspects of thingsThe seed started to grow into a small hobby
A few years later, I picked up landscapes and nature photography
Diving deeper into the technical side of photographyThings I learned in college started coming back to me
Along side a few 100 hours of YouTube tutorials… I was a mad geniusAlthough I was able to take decent images…
There was a significant lack of meaning or storytelling to my workA picture is only a picture until it means something to you
Practice had definitely paid off
The constant self critiquing
Pushing myself to keep expanding my comfort zonesNow…
It all makes a bit more senseThis is where YOU came in…
YOU are the reason my photography, as well as myself, have developed into who I am today
YOU are the reason I write the way I do
YOU are the reason I think the way I doand I thank YOU…
** A love note to YOU**
** A love note to myself**
