Marco Patiño

Photographer: Marco Patiño

Bio: Born and raised east of East LA, California, the self-taught photographer and artist learned his craft by trial and error; burning lots of images on film and reading all he could while trying to find himself artistically in the early 1980s. Originally attended college to be a graphic artist, he was lead "astray" by the magic of photography. Surprisingly, this man wasn't always a people-person, but luckily the camera was able to give him a "new voice" in the art of dealing with the various clients and models he has had the pleasure to work with over the years. He continues to learn from his peers, young and old and is currently working on a book of modern-day pinups that will feature "real" women along with models he's worked with over the years.

Loving the retro/pin-up flicks that Marco has consistently produced without fail. He's always visually appealing and portaits prove to be on point always. I always check up to see whats the latest and greatest coming from his lens and encourage people to check out his website www.mistermarco.com
