Martin’s photographs visually celebrate the gift of each day. He captures the color, tone, form and texture of uncommon landscapes and graphic man-made subjects.

Working in digital, 35mm and medium formats, he has won more than 100 awards at national and regional photo salons. In addition, his work has been included in multi-media exhibits of Maryland artists at both the Governor’s House and the Maryland State House in Annapolis. In March 2009, one of his photographs was among 30 multi-media works selected for exhibit at the Visitor’s Center of the Monocacy National Battlefield near Frederick.

For the past several years, Martin has been commissioned to prepare photographic renderings of various historical scenes in the Frederick area to be reinterpreted in original paintings and limited edition prints by renowned national artist P. Buckley Moss.

Recently, several of his images were selected for electronic greeting cards available through the global website www.HarmonyWishes.com. Martin's photos also have been selected for Stephenson Printing’s award-winning appointment calendar, which showcases the work of some of the country’s top photographers and is distributed to more than 6,000 people in ad agencies and other sectors of the graphic arts industry.

During that time, he studied photojournalism at West Virginia University, attended dozens of photographic workshops and classes, and learned composition and color interpretation techniques under Lowell Anson Kenyon, renowned Washington-area fine art photographer, photo curator, and educator.
