About Marc

 Hi. I'm Marc Pagani. I've been a photographer for 23 years and I love what I do. I shoot boudoir, wedding (over 800 so far), adventure travel (yep, I've shot on Mount Everest twice), portraiture, live music, event, and food images. I feel so lucky to spend time with a super happy couple as they embark on a lifetime journey together one day, the next day in a boudoir photography session in New Orleans at the NOLA Boudoir Studio with women who walk away feeling sexy and special, a week later in the Gulf of Tonkin in a sea kayak in Vietnam, and 3 weeks later shooting headshots for a great local band. All of these experiences have informed my world view and have honed my skill as a craftsman photographer, able to use light, focus, composition, and passion to create powerful, lasting, beautiful images.

New Orleans has an eclectic and prolific burlesque community, and as more and more performers requested that I photograph them, this led to my love of boudoir photography. I see boudoir photography as a way for people to explore their inner and outer beauty. It's a means for my clients to feel amazing about who they are and how they look. It's a great gift to themselves or to a significant other.

I've shot in North, Central, and South America, SE Asia, Africa, and Europe, and my book, "Fearless Photographer: Travel" can be found online at Amazon.com. I'm a member of the Professional Photographers of America (PPA) and the New Orleans Photo Alliance. I'd love to meet you and collaborate with you on some really gorgeous boudoir photography images and boudoir portraits that make you feel sexy, happy, and strong.
