EP 45: Michael Marques

We Need To Be Doing That

Michael Marques is a portrait and lifestyle photographer based in Connecticut whose clients include Conair, Ethan Allen, General Electric, Habitat for Humanity, School of Visual Arts, World Wrestling Entertainment, and XXL Magazine.
"There were times when I wanted to be a professional drummer and sound engineer. Around that same time, I began using my father’s old SLR to photograph hardcore and punk bands passing through on tour. That changed everything."
We discussed:
- Coming up as a photographer in the music scene
- How he’s connected to Adam Sandler
- Storytelling, and how it has changed with our phones and social media
- Taking over as Executive Director of Connecticut Art Directors Club
- Discuss his thoughts on HEARTLENT Group's Hoopers Vote campaign, which won 4 total awards and Best In Show in the recent Connecticut Art Directors Club show
- His thoughts on where photography is today, with the iPhone, the apps, the immediacy
- Where the Connecticut Art Directors Club is heading
