Marc Balanky

I’m proud to have worked with a wide variety of clients, from new restaurateurs to dynamic multimedia companies. You’ll find a client list below.

From 1999 to 2010, I was the Multimedia Editor at SignOnSanDiego.com, the website of The San Diego Union-Tribune, where I shot and edited both photographs and video, and oversaw a team of multimedia journalists. I also helped to conceptualize, build and manage a robust multimedia content management system, and online radio studio and stations.

Prior to joining SignOnSanDiego.com, I was Photo Editor at sidewalk.com, a city guide by Microsoft Corp., where I was responsible for shooting, procuring and managing photos for Sidewalk’s award-winning San Diego, Los Angeles and Orange County websites.

I have also shot professionally for magazines and commercial purposes. The following is a short list of clients for which I have had the opportunity to shoot:
