"It's one thing to make a picture of what a person looks like, it's another thing to make a portrait of who they are."

- Paul Caponigro -

Hello and welcome to Rust and Rerun! My name is Mars, and I am a photographer and content creator based in DC.

I have always been drawn to the power of visual storytelling and the ability of a photograph to capture a moment in time. This passion has led me to specialize in photojournalism but eventually transitioned to fine art portrait and editorial style photography. I am drawn to the artistic and expressive nature of these genres and love the challenge of creating images that capture the mood, emotion, and character of my subjects.

I also worked as a content creator, with a talent for crafting compelling narratives and creating engaging visual content. I have had the opportunity to work with a number of high-end menswear and lifestyle brands, helping to bring their vision and message to life through my imagery. These collaborations have allowed me to hone my skills and explore new creative avenues, and I have greatly enjoyed the opportunity to work with such talented and innovative brands. In addition to my work with brands, I have also had the honor of being published in several prestigious publications, including Getty and Vogue. These opportunities have allowed me to showcase my work to a wider audience and have contributed to my growth and development as an artist.

Whether I am working on a portrait series, an editorial shoot, or a social media campaign, I bring a unique perspective and a dedication to excellence to every project. I’ve always been grateful for the opportunities that I have had to work with such talented and creative people and organizations, and I look forward to continuing to push the boundaries of my craft and create inspiring and impactful visual content. 

I hope you enjoy exploring my website and getting to know my work. If you have any questions or would like to collaborate, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Thank you for visiting!
