About Us

Marc & Gabriel Bartolo

The Photographers

As father and son team we work very close. We bring a uniqueness of person but with a constant thread, a thread built through the 30 years knowing each other, growing together, and this thread comes out in our work. A work that is one minded with each bringing his own touch to the products we photograph.

The Creatives

Marc

I am Canadian, born in 1967, and I started photography at the age of 12 when I bought my first SLR camera, a Canon AE-1, in Japan. Japan was my first model, and with it I photographed, developed black and white and color photography in the darkroom. I was drawn to people and light, and so I photograph people and products.

My people photography is about life, living, love, and people, which includes weddings, business-personal occasions, business-personal portraits, model/fashion photography, and street photography. wherever there are people. My people photography is here: www.marcbartolo.com

For me, product photography is about light, where we work with the light on structures, lines, surface textures, shadows, backgrounds, the tone of light, high-key, low-key, the possibilities are endless. I want to make the product speak, shine, intrigue, and captivate the audience. Photography is my passion, and my passion brings out my best, my creativity, excellence, and the desire to exceed expectations. With a sense of pride in a job well done, with friendly, professional conversation about your needs, wishes, and more...

Gabriel Bartolo - Photographer with Passion

Hello, I'm Gabriel Bartolo, 33 years old, born in Toronto, Canada. My life has been characterized by movement - I've lived in various countries, including Canada, Germany, Malta, and Morocco. I spent most of my youth in Hesse, where I went to school and discovered my creative side.

I'm a quiet, creative person with a good eye and ear for details. Art has been a part of my life since childhood - whether through drawing, crafts, or my enthusiasm for music. Besides photography, my heart beats for ice hockey, which always excites me with its dynamics and passion. I believe in harmonious coexistence, in sympathy, understanding, and that there's a special beauty in nature and people that's worth capturing.

My Path to Photography

Photography was, in a way, laid in my cradle. My father is a photographer, so I was surrounded by cameras, shoots, and the art of seeing from an early age. I often stood in front of the camera myself until I finally changed perspective and began to discover the world through my own lens. Photography became not only my passion but also a way to strengthen the close bond with my father - through working together, learning together, and exchanging creative ideas.

I initially built my knowledge by working with my father and later refined it with a one-year training at the Johannesberg School in Heidelberg. But for me, photography is a constant learning process - with every shoot, with every experiment with light and composition, I discover new facets of this craft.

My Work as a Photographer

For me, photography is about making the beauty of life and nature visible - capturing moments that convey emotions and show people things they might not have perceived themselves. I love capturing people in their naturalness and telling their stories in atmospheric images. At the same time, I'm fascinated by product photography because here I can work specifically with light, perspectives, and setups to present a product exactly as desired.

In my work, I place great importance on honesty and open, friendly collaboration. I prepare intensively for every shoot - whether by exploring locations or testing different lighting conditions. My goal is to implement my clients' vision in the best possible way and to create images that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also meaningful.

If you're looking for a photographer who works with passion, creativity, and a trained eye, then I look forward to working with you.
