Marian Kraus Photography, a Chicago area based professional architecture photographer, multi media artist and purveyor of fine art photography, began at a time when cameras used film and pictures developed and delivered within an hour was considered super fast. Now, it seems owning a digital camera or a phone makes anybody a professional photographer. And while there is no doubt that digital cameras encourage photo enthusiasts to pursue their dreams, in the end, the picture is always the best authentication. Does it tell the story, your story... is it technically and aesthetically proficient... compelling enough for you wanting to see more? Are the photographer's goods and services provided in a professional manner? Can you rely on him or her to go the extra distance when needed? In short, would you feel comfortable having the photographer represent your brand, or his or her photos grace your precious wall space...?

Please come in, let my images and all else I do speak for themselves and be aware that all my photographs are available for purchase as archival photographic prints, digital downloads or stock photographs.
