Shot by Martin About Me

Hey friend, I’m Martin, a portrait photographer based in Oxford. I focus mainly on graduation photography, but I also love photographing portraits in general and working with couples. I enjoy capturing people in the city’s most iconic locations as well as its quieter, hidden spots, creating images that feel natural, timeless, and personal.

My love for photography started with my grandfather’s old Polaroid camera — he always had it with him when we went fishing. I was fascinated by how those small instant photos could hold a moment so simply. That interest in storytelling stayed with me, and after years of shooting on film, I found a style that blends the nostalgic feel of analog photography with the clarity of digital. I shoot with Fujifilm cameras because they bring out the classic, slightly cinematic look I’m drawn to.

I work primarily in Oxford, but I enjoy travelling and I’m open to portrait and couple sessions across the UK and Europe. Whether you’re a student, a visitor, or simply someone who wants thoughtful portraits in Oxford, I’d love to work with you. Have a look around, and if my style resonates with you, let’s create something together.
