As a San Francisco portrait photographer, Marc Olivier Le Blanc has photographed some of Silicon Valley's most recognizable faces, including Sam Altman, Reid Hoffman, Peter Thiel, Sheryl Sandberg, Ben Silbermann, Brian Chesky, Joe Gebbia, Nathan Blecharczyk, and Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, alongside Cal Henderson of Slack, Eric Migicovsky of Pebble Technology, Matt Rogers co-founder of Nest Labs and CEO of Mill, Rick Levin of Coursera, Fritz Maytag of Anchor Brewing, and Master Cicerone Rich Higgins — as well as artists, musicians, athletes, chefs, and executives across every industry.

Whether you need a polished executive portrait for a Forbes feature, an editorial-style session for a speaking engagement, or a personal brand shoot that captures the real you — Marc brings a journalist's eye and a commercial photographer's discipline to every sitting. Shoots available at his Mission District studio or on location anywhere in the Bay Area.
