About

 

Martin was born in Otley in 1977.  His interest in photography began with his fathers’ old Praktica film camera.  He studied for a degree in Photography & Digital Imaging at Leeds Metropolitan University, graduating in 2007, since when he has worked in photography professionally on a freelance basis.

As well as working on exhibitions and stock photography, his images have appeared extensively in books, newspapers, magazines, greetings cards, and calendars. Martin also runs workshops, where he enjoys passing on his knowledge and passion for photography.

A keen cyclist and walker, Martin was drawn towards landscapes, especially the stunning scenery of the Yorkshire Dales.  The dramatic light of dawn and dusk feature heavily in Martin’s work, and he strives for strong, graphical compositions, for an atmospheric result.

The Great British landscape continues to provide much inspiration for Martin, with the sheer variety and quality of scenery available on these shores meaning that the next vista, ruin or woodland is never far from reach.
