Based in Mexico City, Marian works across photography and film, often collaborating with major media outlets. She has contributed to production teams for acclaimed programs such as PBS Frontline, Al Jazeera Witness, and Voice of America. Her photojournalism has been featured in National Geographic, NPR, Bloomberg, ProPublica, Der Spiegel, and she is a frequent contributor to The New York Times. Her work focuses on themes of migration, identity, resilience, and social justice.

She was the associate producer for Documenting Police Use of Force (PBS, 2024), a Frontline and AP collaboration that earned two Emmy nominations and was part of Lethal Restraint, a Pulitzer Prize finalist investigation. She also co-directed and shot Irse – Leaving Venezuela for Al Jazeera Witness, a short documentary following two mothers fleeing Venezuela’s crisis to give birth safely in Colombia.

Marian received her BFA in Photography from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2016 and her Master’s in Documentary Filmmaking from the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism in 2019.
