Conversations with Michael Martin

Today we’d like to introduce you to Michael Martin. 

Hi Michael, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Create, Capture, and Make Magic is my life motto. Looking back, all I can remember is my passion for art. My very first encounters began with drawing just about anything in mind, to receiving my first camera from my parents. Creating my own photography first started when I was 18 years old on a trip to explore Europe. My first camera was a Canon Power Shot. Not only did this awesome camera take photos, but it also took video! Being able to take pictures in Germany, Spain and France was my dream as a new photographer. As if it wouldn’t be any photographer’s dream! 

When I arrived, I was so overwhelmed and excited to take pictures of all the beautiful landscapes and unique diversity of the cultures. Capturing other lifestyles allowed me to appreciate different cultures. When I arrived back to America, I was so excited to look over my images. I thought all my photos were absolutely amazing, as any beginner photographer would feel about his first pieces of work. However, I wanted to explore and learn more. I couldn’t wait to study other photographers’ work and discover more in the field of photography. My new aspiration was to become the photographer that beamed in my own unique way. 

As the years passed, I have learned so many techniques from other photographers, as well as from my own personal practice. As a photographer, I am able to reflect on my experiences and grow positively from them. I am grateful to be a passionate photographer and love everything I do. I hope to be a part of your special and unique wedding day to capture the love between two beautiful individuals, to catch the look a mother gives to her newborn child, and to hold onto the affection within a family photo. I feel that I am not your “typical” photographer, I have a unique personality that allows me to step outside of the traditional box of taking the same family photo over and over. Not everyone can say they love what they do, but I can. I love to create something magical for each of my clients to give them the experience of a lifetime. Remember to always Create, Capture and Make Magic! 

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Just in business, you learn a lot and there are a lot of ups and downs. Learn and building is the key in building a strong business 

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I am a Wedding Photographer & Cinematographer. Love getting to know my clients on a personal level and really capturing the beauty in them all. 

In terms of your work and the industry, what are some of the changes you are expecting to see over the next five to ten years?
Still going strong the way it is now. I am sure there will be a lot more new trends but not sure what that may be as of yet
