Martin has been captured by photography since the very first beginning. His dad had a Leica camera and loved spending time in his darkroom on the attic. In this mysterious world of light & dark, chemicals and smells Martin grew up and was instilled with a love for capturing beauty. After years of climbing trees, designing & creating sand box infrastructure for his toycars, inventing new ways of transportation with LEGO and playing sports & computergames with his friends, he went on to study and during that time found a cheap digital camera. It was 1999 and Martin was ready to party like it.

His hobby grew into a bigger hobby which then grew into a paid hobby. People recognised the same beauty Martin did in the subjects he found in front of his camera. As of 2009 Martin will be a freelance photographer and can be hired as such.

Martin loves to travel and exchange experiences, cooking and eating, make music & sing and visit family and friends. He also works parttime as a youthworker.

As a way to limit himself Martin shot with mobile phones for a couple of years. The result can be bought if you click on the book below.
