Born in Olten, Switzerland, Marco Grob began his photography career in Los Angeles before returning home to establish his first studio, where he spent two decades as a still life photographer. In 2003, he pivoted to portrait and people photography, later moving to New York City, where he captured some of the world's most iconic faces. His portfolio includes actors like Leonardo DiCaprio, Sandra Bullock, and Robert Downey Jr., musicians such as Sir Elton John, Lady Gaga, and Sting, as well as political figures including Presidents Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush. His cinematic work spans major studios like Disney, Warner Brothers, and Netflix, contributing to films such as The Avengers series and TRON: Legacy.
Marco’s photography regularly graces the pages of TIME, GQ, Vanity Fair, and The New York Times Magazine. In 2011, he created BEYOND 9/11: Portraits of Resilience for TIME, a poignant series now part of the Smithsonian and National 9/11 Memorial collections. His advertising clients include Rolex, IWC, and Louis Vuitton, cementing his reputation as a master of visual storytelling. Beyond his commercial success, Marco is deeply committed to humanitarian work, collaborating with the United Nations Mine Action Service to raise awareness about the devastating global impact of landmines.
