My Name is Chris Martin and I am a 26 year old professional photographer based out of South Florida. I specialize in commercial, editorial, portrait, wedding, engagement, child, and event photography.

I was born in Somerset, New Jersey on August 28th 1983. At the age of 10 I moved down to Florida with my family and at 15 began playing live music at different venues around the South Florida area. At 17, directly after graduating High School a year early I began touring, and started my musical career filling in for a week playing guitar in the band “Glasseater”. I then moved on to playing lead guitar with the band “Unsung Zeros” and soon after decided to go out and play my solo music “Words Now Heard” for the world to hear.

During this time touring I always had a love for snapping photos wherever I was, but it was almost always on a point and shoot digital or a cheap 35mm film camera. I toured up until 2005 with Words Now Heard, and on breaks from tour lived in Orlando, Gainesville and West Palm Beach respectively. I then took a position as the Director of Merchandising for Orlando, FL based company, AKT Enterprises in November of 2005

It was at AKT Enterprises that I learned the art of screen printing, and also gained an extensive knowledge of how important quality photographs are to aide in marketing and selling products within the music industry and throughout all other industries. I ended up working full time for AKT for 4 years and in June of 2009 left to peruse my passion of photography.

I ended up taking a rather large pay cut to be able to go full force with my photography but since then have built up an amazing client base, and I am able to sustain myself on photography alone. It took a lot of hard work, dedication and networking to get to where I am, but I am so happy to be doing what I love every day of my life now.

Although I have no formal education in the photographic field, and am almost completely self taught, I still bring 110% to the table every time I shoot. I also make sure to provide the best quality that I can, and I also try to ensure that every client I work with has fun while we are getting the images that they need. I feel that my work speaks for itself, and If you are interested in working with me feel free to get in touch!
