Marco Kesseler is a British Greek photographer with interest in portraits, food and contemporary social stories. ⁠
Working between campigns and long-term projects, he takes pride in immersing himself within the place and people that he photographs, often working with communities over an extended period of time.

Past works have documented the socio-political effects of the Ukrainian revolution; explored notions of escapism along The English Riviera; living in hiding with Albanian families persecuted in the age old traditions of blood feuds, as well as celebratory traditions across Greece.

 Previously exhibited works have been included in The Taylor Wessing Portrait Prize, PhotoIreland Festival, Paris Photo, Magenta Flash Forward and The Sony World Photography Awards.

Marco is available for commissions worldwide. For any enquiries or if you just want to say hi, please drop me a message.
