Drawn to aesthetics at a young age, Marni was compelled to pick up a camera and begin to document what she saw. Launching a career in the film and television industry in 1979, she amassed 25 years of experience, credits and a respected reputation. But in 2003 Grossman travelled to West Africa to photograph a group of drummers and, there, she turned her camera towards the extraordinary she found in ordinary life. Since then Marni has endeavored to become a student of what is elusive and beautiful in the real and the natural.

I have nostalgic bones. I am attracted to objects kinesthetically. Often it is a rusty item from the past, the lines on the face of an elder, some discarded tool, or an ancient stone building.
Light and texture are crucial elements for me in capturing images. A face or an object illuminated in just the right way brings out the textural qualities on a visceral level. This allows me, and hopefully the viewer, to feel as if the objects of my photographs are within reach.
I want to preserve and capture the beauty in what might ordinarily go unnoticed.

Award-winning fine art nature and wildlife photography from Carmel, California, America and around the world.
I have been pursuing my passion for photography since 2009, when I took a class at a community college and discovered the opportunity to see the beauty that is all around us, all the time. Whether it’s a dew-speckled spider web on a clothesline, a flock of wild turkeys along the side of the road, or the stunning landscapes that surround Monterey County, we are rewarded with works of art waiting to be unveiled, one splendid hill, rolling wave or tiny detail at a time. I see beauty not just with my eyes, but through the lens of my heart and my faith. As the camera gives voice to this vision, I am able to share it with others.
