Talk

MPS Digital Photography presents a talk with Caleb Cain Marcus, creative director of Luminosity Lab, known for developing the creative strategy and design vision of publications for leading museums, publishers, curators, and artists. Marcus focuses on ongoing partnerships with cultural institutions and people in the arts to transform their ideas, scholarship, and exhibitions into books that build reputation and legacy.

Pivotal projects include: Carrie Mae Weems: Varying Shades of Brown for Brown University, hailed as “a sculptural object—proving that books still push boundaries in a screen-dominated era” by Cent Magazine;Taking Care: Black Angels of Sea View Hospital for the Staten Island Museum; and New York Home: Now for the Museum of the City of New York. His design excellence and innovation have been recognized by the Art Directors Club AIGA, Red Dot Design Award, Communication Arts, and Tokyo Type Directors Club.

Starting in 2011 and after over 250 lectures, the i3: Images, Ideas, Inspiration Lecture series continues to feature leading photographers, artists, editors, gallerists, and industry experts. The spring 2026 i3 Lecture season is curated and hosted by MPS Digital Photography faculty member Julie Grahame. Most past lectures are available on YouTube and Vimeo.
