His experience sits at the intersection of advertising sensibility and human connection: he knows how to create images that respond to a specific emotional brief, add a touch of wit when needed, and solve practical problems on set.

Martin’s approach is straightforward and people-centred. He builds quick rapport, guiding subjects with inclusive, friendly direction so authentic expressions emerge. Sessions can be studio-based in a controlled environment or shot on location to suit the tone of the portrait. Martin is an expert in lighting — comfortable creating large, complex setups or blending ambient and low light — which means every portrait benefits from considered technical craft as well as emotional truth. For business portraiture and headshots he focuses on clarity, intent and personality: clean, professional images that work across corporate profiles, LinkedIn and marketing materials. He treats each session as a collaboration — discussing objectives up front, adjusting styling and lighting to the client’s needs, and delivering imagery that aligns with brand and personal identity.
