Born in Verdun, France, Marcos Casiano spent his early years traveling with
his family through Europe, Puerto Rico, and the United States-following his
father who was in the United States Army. His family moved to El Paso
and Marcos graduated from Eastwood High School.
In 1975, at the age of 18, he left for Nashville to begin his musical career
playing drums with a variety of bands. Marcos returned to El Paso in
August of 2001 to pursue a career in music. |

The beauty of our El Paso area rekindled his earlier interest in
photography, leading to an international career that has taken him on photo
shoots throughout the Southwest, Latin America, and Europe.
Mr. Casiano's work has been exhibited at various locations within the El
Paso (TX) Public Library System, the City of El Paso People's Gallery, the
Winton/Flair Gallery, and currently at the Idea Gallery in downtown El Paso.
“To me, there has always been a link between photography and music,” Marcos
says. “This may have begun when, as a young person, the only way I
could connect with a musician performing on a sound recording was through
the picture on the album cover. Music and photography are also similar
because both require self-discipline and time to practice. In
photography, the camera is my instrument, and the photograph is the song.”
Marcos Casiano is married to Carol Brey-Casiano, and they live in El Paso,
Texas with their two dogs.
