Marion Kaufer

Marion was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1964 to German-Swiss parents and was raised bilingual in German and Spanish.
Marion was in college studying Education and Arts when she was offered a part-time opportunity to model. From there, she quickly became the photographer's and the wardrobe coordinator's assistant in editorial stories for a fashion magazine in Buenos Aires. She discovered that her passion laid in helping the model look and feel her best. Her natural gift of connecting with women and understanding their needs and fears had a powerful impact in the photographs. In 1988 Marion moved to the US where she pursued her career as a photographer. She graduated from the New York Institute of Photography and later attended 3 years of courses in fine art photography at the Gibbs Museum in Charleston, SC. There she discovered her passion for the dark room and printing. In the mid '90's Marion started her own business as a freelance photographer. She has worked as an editorial, commercial, and advertising photographer for national companies and magazines and has traveled all over the country and Canada to fulfill her assignments.
She has also participated in countless charity events donating her time and photography in the US and worldwide. Recently, Marion has established her own boutique studio in Tucson, AZ where she is dedicated to women photography.
