The way you tell your story will make all the difference to your audience.

Mark Gambol
Director of Photography, Camera, Director, Producer, All Around Good Guy...


Since 1994, I have been successfully producing images and photos for Emmy nominated television shows, inspiring documentaries, reality television, professional sporting events, national news, and nonprofit organizations.

My creative vision, sensitivity to client needs and an understanding of production technology and techniques offers clients a level of expertise that can make your story stand out and be memorable.

Who Am I?


For me, video production and photography are about observing the world. From that perspective I try to come up with my personal response.

It is driven by the subject — asking what is central to the subject and the story we want to tell.

Who is that person in front of my lens?
Why will my image make a difference to who they are?
What story am I trying to bring out?

I try to make my images in response to their unique individuality.

I started my career in 1994 and six and a half years later MG Pictures, Ltd. was born. Telling stories is my passion and I am incredibly grateful to have turned a job into a career that I love.
