The Journey
Marc Weisberg’s journey to becoming one of California’s most sought-after photographers was anything but conventional. At 13, he stood in a darkroom watching a faint shadow sharpen into something real, and he was hooked. Then life took the long way around, through professional kitchens and wine cellars on both coasts. Somewhere between the kitchen and the cellar, he learned to read a room in seconds and put anyone at ease. None of it ever pulled him away from his love affair with photography.
More than 26 years in, attorneys, physicians, executives and the firms they lead come to him for portraits that immediately earn their clients’ trust. He arrives with a high-tech portable studio, works without hurry, and has a gift for getting people who dread the camera to forget it’s there. One client ended up barefoot and laughing. Along the way he has photographed estates from $5 million to $70 million, architecture projects topping a billion dollars, and food and wine brands both nationally and internationally. From 2015 to 2021 he served as a Sony Artisan of Imagery, one of fewer than 50 photographers worldwide. Today, Marc’s camera system is built around Leica, which he loves for its simplicity and its gorgeous rendering. Ask him about any of it, though, and he’ll tell you the camera was never the point. His real gift is making the people, places and things in front of his lens look beautiful.
