ABOUT

Born in Germany and raised in the U.S. from his teenage years, Martin brings a global perspective to every frame he captures. Early exposure to different cultures helped shape his deep love for storytelling—and film quickly became his medium of choice.

​

After college, he moved to Los Angeles to study cinematography at the Los Angeles Film School. While the classroom laid the foundation, it was on set where Martin truly developed his craft—working as a camera assistant alongside world-class Directors of Photography, including Oscar-nominated Phedon Papamichael.

​

Over the past twelve years, Martin has built a career around telling stories that resonate. His approach is always rooted in the narrative: every shot is crafted with intention, blending artistic vision with technical precision. Whether he's shooting on classic 35mm film or the latest digital format, he adapts his tools to elevate the story—not distract from it.

 

Martin has shot feature films, commercials, and music videos for a range of global brands, artists, and collaborators. His work reflects a commitment to originality, collaboration, and pushing creative boundaries.

 

Currently based in Los Angeles—and often traveling for international shoots—Martin continues to explore new ways to bring bold, meaningful visuals to life.
