Hi, I'm Martin, a freelance photographer based in the North East of England, UK.
My photographic journey began as a child with a borrowed 110 film camera. At 14 years of age I purchased a 35mm Minolta SLR with two kit lenses. Â I set-up a dark room at my school and produced a series of black and white images of local churches. Â
It was this process that inspired my exploration of places and subjects, creating images and bringing them to fruition in print.
Over the years I made several trips to India and Peru, combining my love of photography with my love of travel and mountaineering. I love the excitement of capturing a unique moment or seeing my artistic vision in print.  Moving to County Durham I worked as a Freelance Photographer alongside other contracted work.  Here I focused on my sporting events company, assisting local wedding photographers, and some local and national press work.Â
I now work full-time as a freelance photographer, training provider and producer of digital art.Â
