  • For many years his photographs of beautiful women have graced the pages of Playboy and Penthouse magazines as well as hundreds of advertisements, editorials, album covers, calendars and posters. His erotic images of men and women in highly sexual situations have appeared throughout the world in galleries, museums and sophisticated publications. Ken Marcus was born and raised in Hollywood, California, where he was educated in art, photography and classical music. He studied advertising photography at the Art Center College of Design and Brooks Institute of Photography and for 13 years in Yosemite National Park as the youngest student of famed landscape photographer Ansel Adams. In 1965 at the age of 19, Ken established his studio on fashionable Melrose Avenue in Hollywood, where he continues working today. After several years as a successful advertising, commercial, and food photographer, his direction shifted toward fashion, beauty, glamour and nudes. Ken has produced award winning photographs for editorial, entertainment and consumer clients. In 1971 Ken was selected as the first American photographer for Penthouse magazine as they published their first American editions. He was responsible for introducing the soft-focus technique that soon became a Penthouse trademark. Ken left Penthouse after three years to become the major contributing photographer to Playboy magazine. From 1974-'85 Ken's work was featured regularly in Playboy's 15 international editions. For eight years Ken exclusively photographed the famous Playboy Calendar. He has produced hundreds of editorials, centerfolds, covers and calendars. His glamourous nudes have received many awards and much media publicity. Recognized as one of the nation's top photographic educators, Ken has produced seminars, lectures, and workshops on the art and techniques of nude and glamour photography. For over twenty five years he was a regularly featured speaker at national photographic conventions and international photo expo's. His corporate sponsors have included Canon, Hasselblad, Pentax, Polaroid and Kodak.
