At 22, Marcus Haney dropped out of USC’s School of Cinematic
Arts to stow away on Mumford & Sons‘ Railroad Revival Tour from
Oakland to New Orleans. His 2014 documentary No Cameras
Allowed told the story of his breaking into music festivals to
photograph some of the industry’s biggest names, a journey
that eventually led Mumford & Sons to make him their official
photographer. Haney has since directed documentaries, music
videos, and album art for them, as well as Coldplay and Elton
John.
His current projects include Black Sunflowers, a feature documentary
on young ravers and street racers in Ukraine and the soldiers that go back and forth between those worlds and the front line;
Dingo, a documentary that explores memory and grief through
the work of an 81-year-old street photographer; and Today, This
Day, a narrative film about a group of skinheads‘ last day together.
Haney has conducted photo projects in Honduras the Congo, Senegal, Jordan, Israel, Palestine, Egypt, Argentina,
and Ukraine. He currently lives between his home in Los Angeles
and his artist compound in Northern California‘s Sierra Nevada
Mountains, where he serves as a volunteer firefighter.
