The work of Martin Stranka exists in that space between dreams and waking, those split seconds when a person has a foot in both worlds. Light like the first rays of twilight filtering through a curtain when even the dust seems to glitter with some sort of hidden purpose or meaning.

The language of stillness.

The solitary sound of your own footsteps echoing down the streets of a deserted city. And on every building the flickering image of a silent film like faded memories.

Martin's images.

So personal yet somehow universal they seem like your own memories. Your moments.

And maybe they are...

    "I just discovered Martin's stream recently and I am in awe. His work is breathtaking. His portraits create an intimacy that sucks you in. You feel close up and far away at the same time. I am specifically impressed by his tilt-shiftian-like photos and can't stop wondering how he does it and where these people are. His close-up / tighter portraits on the other hand convey a love for details and a talent for textures that i admire. His two distinct themes supplement each other perfectly and leave much room for very personal interpretations while keeping an aura of mystery around them. Martin Stranka manages to capture you from the first photo on. And I can't wait for the next upload."

    "I've found Martin Stranka gallery on Devaint Art but I think flickr is the better place to write to him. without a doubt, Martin is my favorite photographer on flickr, He is such an inspiring for me. His style is very inspiring too, and his way of editing also striking and so unreal, also, he has some of the best post processing methods i've ever seen. I always come back from time to time to check out his stream, and i am always amazed at his creativity. There is so much talent here that I can only hope to learn from him one day.

    I can't wait to see what he comes up with the next time i visit :)


    Keep shining man.
