About Martin
I didn't want to write a bio as I think they always sound cringe, but Slav told me I had to, so here are some key things about my life as a photographer.
My Dad was also a professional photographer.
I photographed my first wedding 30 years ago when I was just 16.
I have covered many areas of photography over the last 30 years, from being a full-time dog photographer to running a family portrait studio with £½ million turnover to photographing live music for Q Magazine.
I was awarded Event Photographer of the Year" in 2011 and many other smaller awards.
I am an ambassador for Zenfolio photography websites.
I am quite possibly the best headshot photographer in Cheshire.
