"With over two decades dedicated to ballet and contemporary dance, Marcelo translates a sharp awareness of space, body, and energy into a visual language that prioritises presence over posing. His work is a deep exploration of the transition of masculinity, a journey he has lived from the 1990s to the present day. By dissolving the traditional boundaries between toughness and elegance, Marcelo's lens creates a dialogue where opposites are no longer divided, but united."
"To him, Photography is an act of liberation and a tool to embrace the wholeness of the human experience. As the founder of True Faces modelling agency in Berlin, Marcelo creates a safe stage for his subjects. He utilises his dance instinct to guide people and models, especially men, into a state of expressive, poetic truth.
