Originally a landscape and street photographer,Marie-Saint turned to fashion and portraiture shortly after finishing his education,combining the elements of fashion, street, and landscape photography into a cinematic narrative that is present in all of his work today. After an experimental phase, he moved to Paris to develop his look and portfolio before eventually moving to New York City, where he now lives and works.
