Hi, I’m Marco Libretti, a visual storyteller born and raised in Italy and now based in Toronto. I balance disarming humanity with razor-sharp technique, whether I’m crafting documentary shot lists, shooting music performances, or setting the look for branded video content. I always strive to put the story first and bring a fresh perspective to every project. My intrepid nature has taken me from icy Northern Ontario to far-flung regions in the United States, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and all across North America. I’m always hungry for a new adventure and love discovering new narratives in unfamiliar settings. I’ve collaborated with CBC, BMO, RBC, TD, Canadian Tire, Uber, SickKids, Yamaha, McCann International, Loblaw, Hudson's Bay, Nestlé, Walmart, VW, Genesis, IFAW, WWF, and many more.
