Classic light. Modern portrait.
I create expressive black-and-white portraits shaped by dramatic light, considered direction, and careful retouching.
Inspired by the bold portraiture of George Hurrell and Yousuf Karsh.
Each session is built around the person in front of the camera.
A Portrait With Presence
Some photographs show what you look like.
A great portrait reveals something of who you are.
I make dramatic black-and-white portraits for actors, artists, professionals, couples, and anyone who wants an image with character.
Working primarily on location in Niagara Falls and the surrounding area.
I use sculpted light and thoughtful direction to create portraits that feel both timeless and personal.
Each session includes careful image selection, editing, and retouching.
Studio sessions may also be available by arrangement.
For a portrait that feels like you—and stays with you.

Testimonial
"Martin is an amazing photographer with a great personality. I was thrilled with the photos that I got from him, and really impressed with the care and attention to detail he puts into his photography. Not only that, but he's a blast to hang out with. If you want to get beautifully captured photos, and to enjoy the process, Martin is an excellent choice."

“Thank you for sharing these beautiful portraits! As a New York headshot photographer, I appreciate seeing the work of other talented photographers.”
I’ve been a fan of Martin’s photography for years now, as he has graciously shared his work. His lens is an eye to the soul
Martin is an amazing photographer, he is somebody who actually practices this art because he is passionate about it. Photography sessions can be rather awkward at times but with a person like Martin, it is easy to open up and feel comfortable to be yourself.
