Marion is one of the most thorough and thoughtful production persons I have ever had the pleasure of working with. His attention to detail is exemplary. Marion can take any idea and improve on it. I enjoy every opportunity to work with him.

Joe Woodard, Producer / Director

"Truth is, Marion Laney is the best D.P. I have ever met! He shot every frame of everything I have been in that is worth a darn in the last 10 years."

Alton Brown, Food Network Host, Director, James Beard winning Author

Marion... "gets it" without having to "explain it." He adapts quickly to ideas, shots and challenges on every shoot. In short, if you're shooting with a short deadline, Marion is your Marksman.

Scott Nelson, Executive Creative Director - Nelson Creative

Marion is one of the most effective individuals I have ever worked with. Marion brings qualities of both an inspired artist and a pragmatic business person to all his work -- qualities that have made our projects true successes! With one eye on the horizon and another on the bottom line, he found unique ways to solve problems and either came in on schedule or was ahead of it.

Suprina Berenyi, International Director Global (Beijing) Management Consulting Company Limited / Health and Wellness Director

Good Eats is an innovative show behind the scenes as it developed new & cutting edge shooting techniques, one of the key men behind it is Marion. From developing "oven & fridge cam" shooting to being a pioneer in digital & HD for shows such as Good Eats, he will always figure out the best way to do it.
He is possibly the nicest & most pleasant person I've known in this industry, a true pleasure to be around in an environment that can be quite stressful most of the time!

Widdi Turner, Chief Whoopie Officer at No Big Whoop! Bakery, Producer/Prod. Coordinator

I have worked with Marion Laney for over 15 years and he is extremely talented, creative and versatile with his Directing and his Photography skills. He is continually researching the latest technology available to bring the highest quality and most creative approach to each and every project. He is also very personable and a great collaborator.
