San Francisco Lifestyle Photographer, California
Marc Olivier Le Blanc is a San Francisco lifestyle photographer working with brands, agencies, and publications across the Bay Area and beyond. Specializing in authentic, editorial-driven lifestyle imagery, he has created campaigns for Levi's, Airbnb, Google, Chase, Visa, The North Face, H&M, and Sephora, among others. His work spans product lifestyle, brand storytelling, and people-focused imagery shot on location throughout San Francisco, Napa, Sonoma, Marin County, Oakland, and the wider Bay Area.
Lifestyle shoots have taken Marc from Baker Beach and the Presidio to Capitola Beach on the Santa Cruz coast, from the vineyards of Napa and Sonoma to the streets of North Beach and the Mission District — always with the same approach: finding the light, the location, and the moment that makes a brand's story feel lived-in rather than staged.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of lifestyle shoots do you take on?
1
The range is wide — advertising campaigns for national brands like Chase or Visa, marketing materials for wineries and hospitality clients, social media content for local Bay Area businesses, product lifestyle imagery for retail and e-commerce, and editorial-driven brand storytelling for agencies and publications. If it involves people, places, and a story worth telling, it's probably in scope.
Do you shoot outside the Bay Area?
2
Absolutely. Marc is available for lifestyle productions throughout California, nationally, and internationally — including France and beyond. Travel costs are factored into the production budget and discussed upfront. Prior lifestyle and advertising shoots have taken him across the Bay Area, down the California coast, and across Europe.
How far in advance should I book?
3
As early as possible. Campaign schedules fill up quickly, and reaching out early leaves room to properly develop a location strategy, production plan, and creative approach — which consistently leads to better results.
Do you offer casting, location scouting, and other production services?
4
Yes — the full production stack is available, including casting and talent coordination, wardrobe and prop styling, hair and makeup, location scouting and permits, and on-set production support. For a complete breakdown of production capabilities, see the advertising photography page. The same infrastructure applies to lifestyle productions of any scale.
What should I know before reaching out?
5
The more specific your brief, the faster your first conversation moves. Having a sense of your intended use (advertising, social, editorial, web), rough timeline, location preferences, and whether you need full production support helps shape an accurate quote.
