Marco Tavares | 2025Marco Tavares doesn’t just take photos — he follows the story wherever it leads. Over the last ten years, he’s found himself in the middle of protests, underground scenes, and forgotten corners of the world, always chasing something honest.
He grew up on the road, hitchhiking across the U.S., meeting strangers, collecting their stories. That time shaped everything — how he sees people, what he chooses to show, and why he picks up a camera in the first place.
In 2017, he won an Emmy for a short doc on a graffiti artist. Since then, he’s covered Hong Kong, Portland, DC — not to chase headlines, but to catch what’s real before it disappears. He moved to Washington in 2024 to get closer to the chaos — to be there when the system cracks.
His work isn’t polished, and that’s the point. It’s personal. It’s flawed. But it never looks away.
