About Marek Leavenworth

Marek Leavenworth is a multimedia artist currently based in Bend, Oregon, working across graphic design, photography, and video. His work focuses on capturing and communicating visual narratives, using composition, motion, and structure to guide how viewers interpret a scene rather than just documenting it.

Originally from Salem, Oregon, he has spent most of his life within the range of the Pacific Northwest. He began photographing over a decade ago, and the process sparked a broader interest in visual problem-solving–eventually expanding into digital artistry, multimedia production, and marketing as interconnected creative disciplines.

His photography and video often draw from the atmosphere of the Pacific Northwest, interpreting quiet environments and brief moments of light. In contrast, his design practice leans toward a clean, modern, and timeless aesthetic–emphasizing clarity, restraint, and structure over decoration. Together, these approaches balance mood with precision across both still and moving work.

Marek studied photography, cinematography, and design while earning his Bachelor of Science in Arts, Media, and Technology at Oregon State University–Cascades. His portfolio includes commissioned work, educational and experimental practice, and published pieces in Bend Magazine, Travel Oregon, among others, as well as finalist recognition in the international Shoot & Share contest across multiple consecutive years.

Through his creative brand, Leavenworth Studios, Marek produces multimedia projects for professional and personal occasions. His design background brings a refined sensibility to each piece, whether balancing editorial compositions, layering stories in post-production, experimenting with motion graphics and effects, or expanding into motion control and practical visual effects.
