Philosophy: I'll do anything to get the perfect shot. I love to be pushed in difficult situations and make it happen. I believe every project should be approached differently, at the end of a shoot you should have a new image and not a repetition of previous work.
Excerpt from Outside magazine interview: Italian-born Marchesi had more than his share of Gilligan-esque adventures in the BVIs. Case in point: Seeing their dilapidated charter boat, the photographer muttered to his assistant "I hope it floats." It sank a couple days later with Marchesi and his assistant scrambling to save the gear. "After it went down and we were rescued, the police took me in for interrogation," recalled Marchesi. "I was thrown in a room with a guy who had justbeen arrested. He was thrashing around with a killer look. I tried to disappear. I was in there a long, long time."
