My first book:

Nargis was coming - A reportage in Myanmar before and during Nargis hurricane. Buying it you may contribute to help Burma people (click on book icon for more details).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What I shot:
My favorite genres are reportage, street and music photography, as you can view on my website, even if about this photostream I also post snapshots or other genres that I like too.
On the other side I don't find macro and still life pics so interesting.
Post processing:
Yes I do, my philosophy is that PP must not change the essence of a pic, it may be only complementary without becoming more important.
I usually follow a basic PP workflow, just sometimes I try HDR or play with plugins. Rarely I crop my pics.
Cameras:
I owned or used several digital cameras such as Fujfilm F30, Panasonic LX5 (again my trusty little pards in every day situations) then Nikon dslr (D40, D50, D80, D200) and Canon dslr (40D, 5D). Now I'm shoting with a Nikon D700 that is my actual choice.
Flickr:
Is funny, in my idea flickr is a sort of lab where I like to share a bit of my photographic work, including what is unusual to me, like HDR or more, and discuss it. I also enjoy looking in flickr for new trends.
I say no to videos here.

Bas Bleu says:
"This testimonial for m@rus is long overdo. I first stumbled upon a photograph by m@rus in Explore, when he was still known as marus. I was hooked. He takes beautiful photographs of the places he explores and the people he meets. His street photography is vivid, and you almost feel you are there in his photographs. m@rus also takes strikingly beautiful architectural shots. But it is his street photography that drew me into his stream and continues to delight me. Over the last year, he has been a wonderful supporter of my work, and an inspiration. To that I say: "Grazie Mille." :)"

"La conoscenza di M@rus, avvenuta grazie ad un carissimo amico, mi ha permesso di scoprire un fotografo invidiable. Adoro questo genere di fotografia alla quale cerco di avvicinarmi ma con scarsi risultati. Apprendere è ciò che più mi preme e guardare le sue foto mi fa venire voglia di prendere la mia nikon e di uscire in strada a scattare....."

"Pur non essendo un professionista nei suoi scatti nulla è lasciato al caso e il tutto viene soppesato, studiato e analizzato ancora prima di fare click! Nei suoi set non c'è solo Roma (città natale) ma anche tanto altro e le sue foto vengono rappresentate con un gusto e uno stile che lasciano sempre una piacevole sensazione visiva! Per chi gira tra i gruppi "flickeriani" m@rus non è solo un nome ma oramai è diventato un marchio di fabbrica (D.O.C.G!!) di cui non se ne può più fare a meno e le sue opere sono così in costante crescita che perfino explore malandrino ha dovuto smettere di ignorarlo tant'è che adesso ogni post è una presenza fissa in classifica! Come persona non posso che parlarne bene e lo considero un amico sincero!
Sei grande m@rus.."2nd December, 2007
