Lead by renowned, creative director, video-graphic artist,

Marlen Adams, the firm is increasingly becoming the most

sought after group in the business.  The multifaceted,

eccentric, Adams is a different kind of photographer - he

is an artist armed with a camera. To him a camera is like an

artist’s pencil, and “when you give an artist a pencil you’ll

always end up with something wonderful.”  He is a naturally

artistic photographer with inherent, raw creativity and ability. He has intrinsically utilized his talent, superior equipment, software, technological advancements and social media promotion to build his empire.  

 

A native Floridian, Adams was always drawn to anything with a creative vibe.  Ever-bonded to his pencil, colored pencil and chalk portfolio as a child, the foundation was laid very early to take his artistry to the next level - photography.  Adams discovered his passion for photography just before the emergence of the digital age, but after digital cameras came on the scene he was one of the first to trade his 35mm for a 3 megapixel Sony.  With an art background and a flair for the creative, the next natural progression was to learn a photo-editing program - Adobe Photoshop in this case.  Naturally with the combination of digital photography and Photoshop the beginning of an explosion of unique images was sure to follow.  

 

One of Adams’ first major brand shoots was for the Italian designer Alviero Martini store in Florida.   Several NFL followed as his ability expanded.  Soon New York City was calling and clients like New Rochelle Chevrolet, The Harlem Globetrotters and Panera Bread were added to the client list.  As his marketing photography abilities and understanding grew the call came from the west coast.  Adams realized that he had outgrown his home-based business and regional clientele, so he moved to Phoenix, Arizona and a whole new creative outlet was unleashed. 

 

With easy access to Scottsdale, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and San Diego, the scene was set for some serious exposure in major city markets in the southwest. With clients like Fuga Energy Drink, Brace Magazine, Echo Magazine, Kava Kreation, Sierra Nevada Brewing Company, LMG Strategies, Arizona Caribbean Cultural Association and Century Records, the natural progression was into the entertainment arena and the previous marketing experience afforded him the opportunity to work with Grammy-nominated musician Aaron Bing and the Grammys.

 

Adams’ studio is currently based in Tempe, Arizona, but he travels globally, ever-challenging his creative ability to develop unique images that showcase his abilities.   From small brands seeking to get the edge on their competition to major brands seeking to expand their visual reach, MARLEN ADAMS PHOTOGRAPHY: Invites all brands to evolve and see the world through the eyes of an ARTIST!
