“Working with Marco helped me to hone the techniques and skills I have been developing over the years in underwater photography. In particular, the Lightroom session has enabled me to refine and improve my post-production workflow. Marco is truly a great asset to any level photographer, and also those looking to give it a try.”

– Bruce Hootman

“Marco is a remarkable underwater photographer. Because of my deep interest in photography, I always look forward to having him as my personal guide at Wakatobi.”

– Wayne Osborn

“Taking a photography class with Marco not only improved the way I shoot underwater, it vastly restructured the way I see the world and take any photograph. Wakatobi is perfection in diving, and a class with Marco is something I’ ll not miss when I return.“
