About Martin, Your Nature and Landscape Photographer from Northern New Mexico

Greetings! My name is Martin. I practiced law in Northern New Mexico before retiring. My photography journey started 14 years ago. Hunting in the mountains of northern New Mexico was an annual tradition for my sons and me.

Beginner

As my family and friends will attest, I am not much of a hunter. But, during our travels through northern New Mexico, I always had a camera with me. I made sure to capture photos of mountains, valleys, rivers, reservoirs, canyons, and prairies at every possible moment during my journeys.

Advanced

When I am out on the field photographing, I always try to capture the sights that will captivate my viewers. I hope to give others a glimpse of my world by inviting them to witness it in the scenes I capture with my camera. To capture the essence of a scene, I constantly adjust my position and change the focal length, enabling me to zoom in and out and capture distinct elements in my photos. I wish to afford others the opportunity to perceive the world from my perspective and to empathize with my experiences. By offering my photos at reasonable prices, I hope to share the beauty and wonder of my world with others, allowing them to experience it through my lens.

Over the years I have relied on tips and advice from trusted professionals such as:
Steve Perry, BackCountry Gallery Professional Wildlife Photographer
Mark Smith An expert at bird photography
Dave Morrow Hiker, camper, outdoorsman landscape photographer
Mark Denney instructor and landscape photographer
Michael the Maven “Michael Andrew, (aka Michael The Maven) is a freelance producer, photography instructor, tech innovator…”
Ken Rockwell Camera and lens reviews.
Tony & Chelsea Northrop Tony and Chelsea Northrop Photography and Tutorials.
