About

Marc Balanky is an on-location photographer and videographer in Allied Gardens, San Diego, bringing more than 25 years of multimedia production experience to commercial, editorial, and portrait assignments across the 92120 ZIP and greater San Diego County. Balanky's career background includes roles as Multimedia Supervisor at the San Diego Union-Tribune, Photo and Video Editor at SignOnSanDiego, and Senior Video Producer at KnowledgeCity — a resume that bridges traditional newsroom photojournalism with corporate video production. The on-location model means every shoot takes place at the client's preferred setting rather than in a fixed studio, whether that is a restaurant dining room, a corporate office, a beach, or a public park. Food and restaurant photography makes up a significant share of the commercial roster, with menu-item shoots and interior documentation for San Diego dining establishments including Eureka! and other restaurants in the College Area corridor. Balanky also produces lifestyle portraiture, business headshots, wedding coverage, and editorial content for magazines, newspapers, and websites. Video services cover scripting, producing, lighting, filming, sound recording, and editing, delivered as finished packages for web and social media distribution. The on-location workflow extends to WordPress website builds for small businesses that need both visual content and a publishing platform in a single production cycle. Allied Gardens sits in the 92120 ZIP between the Waring Road commercial district and the I-8 freeway, giving the business fast-access routing to shoot locations across the county. Filmmakers and photographers in the same directory coordinate on multi-camera assignments when a project requires both still and motion coverage, and Balanky's editorial portfolio includes community feature shoots at neighborhood venues across the 92120 ZIP, including event documentation at San Carlos Branch Library on Lake Murray Boulevard. Balanky's post-production toolkit spans Adobe Creative Suite retouching, color grading, and video editing, with output formatted for print, web, and broadcast delivery standards.
