Here are some of my favorites from the game. The full set of selects can be found in my archive at: petemarovichimages.photoshelter.com.
A photo I made on assignment for European Pressphoto at Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day made the front of the New York Times today. Interestingly, I photographed this same woman and child at Arlington last year and that photo made the front of the Wall St. Journal.

“Pete has a great eye, and he works for a good image like nobody's business. The people on the other side of the lens truly interest him, and this passion shows in his work. He understands narrative, news, culture, and brings a wealth of life experience to his work. If you can work with Pete, do it!”

Pete Marovich has always gone above and beyond and made each assignment his own. I've genuinely enjoyed and appreciated his efforts and his photos every time he has shot for us. It's rare to find his level of passion, dedication and raw talent; he's beyond a true professional.

“Pete Marovich's images are successful on many levels. First, they are visually compelling. Pete has the eye of a cinematographer and can take an ordinary situation and make something extraordinary out of it.
Secondly, Pete connects with his subjects and through his photography allows others to be transported into their world. Thirdly, Pete respects the people he photographs. I highly recommend Pete Marovich for any photo-related endeavor.”
