Martin has been interested in photography all his life. He studied at a local college to achieve qualifications in a number of disciplines although his main interest has always been landscape and wildlife photography. In 2007 he visited Finland to photograph brown bears in the wild and he has photographed tigers in India. It was probably, however, his first visit to Kenya which really inspired him. Having spent time in the Masai Mara, where he photographed African wildlife, Martin hopes to inspire others to take an active interest in this magnificent but fragile environment, which unless protected may be lost to future generations.
