Manuel Marano

My work spans from capturing real-world scenes with meticulous attention to detail to designing digital compositions where light, texture, and perspective are carefully crafted. Whether it’s a photograph or a fully rendered 3D scene, my approach is driven by a commitment to transforming concepts into powerful and memorable imagery.

Planning and executing photo productions domestically and internationally, both independently and as part of a team. Successful completion of commissioned work for numerous car brands, including Ferrari, Maserati, BMW, and Mercedes. Editing and optimizing workflows for data preparation and processing. Communication and support of content suppliers.

Creation of video content and showreels for newsletters and social media platforms. Video clips selection based on visual and technical criteria. Editing and color grading of video clips. Software used: Davinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe After Effects.
