testimonials
what people are saying
Stunning photos with wonderful texture and style! We hired Marian to shoot the cover photo for the new Barney Bentall album “Flesh & Bone” and the results were beyond our expectations.
Utilizing richly textured outdoor public spaces, Marian captured exactly the look we were hoping to achieve and then some! Her gentle, personable approach put the artist at ease, resulting in some beautiful shots that we used in both the album and subsequent marketing material.
She’s a joy to work with, brings heaps of creativity to the project and delivers wonderful results.
Tracey Page, Label Services and Touring at Reliant Music
“A beautiful book, stunning photos and a great CD.”
-DJ Dolf Jansen in the popular radio show Spijkers met Koppen
“Short stories written in a gently wistful but understated style… illustrated with beautiful photos.”
– National Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant
“This is not a beautiful book with a hastily added soundtrack. It also isn’t a great album featuring some exaggerated design project. No, this is a full work of art, a world in itself to get lost in.”
-Mousique.nl
We have been working with Marian exclusively since 2009. She has designed our wine label, print material, POS material, advertising campaigns and a variety of other things. We are extremely happy with the results, the relationship and the process.
After working together on the branding, she has been able to design most materials without a lot of revisions, saving cost and time. She works well with other professionals, including photographers, copy writers and marketing & advertising consultants.
