Marco Penne Photography

I am a Native American born in Lima, Peru during the U.S. Embassy, USIS Binational Center, and Marine House bombings by Sendero Luminoso (the Shining Path). I remember living in an apartment at the age of one and some odd months watching Inspector Gadget with my soon-to-be brother while bombs were going off several blocks down.

I was adopted and then moved to America on my second birthday to Silver Spring, Maryland, where I have lived for the past 18 years. Growing up, I was designated as the family photographer, taking pictures of family events and vacations. As I grew older, I developed more of a passion for photography and started to take pictures of more than just family.

I have graduated from C.D.I.A. at Boston University.
