Margarita..

Margarita Corporan is a NYC based-photographer working across the genres of portraiture and documentary photography. Born in Washington, DC to Peruvian and Dominican parents, Margarita spent a majority of her youth between the US and South America, during which she took after her father’s passion and started to photograph her family in these environments.

Margarita graduated from the School of Visual Arts in NY and immediately immersed herself in every aspect of the photography industry, from photo assistant to studio manager to stock agency executive. In 1999 she enthusiastically began her career as a photography editor, working at such publications as People Magazine, Marie Claire, Us Weekly, People En Español, Parade, among others. Margarita’s editorial work has been recognized with a Henry Luce Award and by The Society of Publication Designers.

In 2011, Margarita stepped out of the editor role and resumed her passion behind the camera as a corporate event photographer. She established partnerships with Google, YouTube, FB/Meta, McCann Worldwide, Omnicom Group, Tiger Global, Libra Group, Amazon, Bentley, and MasterCard as well as a variety of advertising and non-profit organizations. Now in 2024, Margarita has launched Be So Present Productions, where she has built a national team of photographers, videographers and onsite editors to provide visual content in realtime at experiential/activation and corporate brand events.

When she is not in production with her team, you can find Margarita working on her personal projects that include her long-time abstract fine art series, Evadama and the visual study of her blended family from across the globe.
