About Martin

I’m a portrait, brand and event photographer based in Cranleigh, working across the Surrey Hills and beyond. My work centres on people and how they are seen, whether that’s in a single portrait, within a wider brand story, or during an important public moment.

Before becoming a photographer, I spent nearly twenty years working as a Chartered Financial Planner and Chartered Wealth Manager. Much of that time was spent advising clients, speaking publicly and operating in environments where reputation and trust mattered every day.

That experience shapes how I approach photography now. I understand how quickly people form impressions, and how important it is that a portrait feels credible, confident and real.

Today, I work with ambitious professionals, creative businesses, charities and organisations who care about how they present themselves. I’m interested in confidence, clear intent and photographs that feel believable and lasting.

I’m also closely connected to the Cranleigh community. I serve as Chairman of Knowle Park Trust, the charity that manages the 60 acre country park in the village, and I have been Event Director of Cranleigh parkrun since helping to establish the event in 2014.

Those roles involve working with volunteers, building community projects and creating environments where people feel welcome and supported. It’s an attitude that carries through to my photography as well.

When I’m not working, I’m usually outdoors with family, exploring the Surrey Hills, or attempting to keep two energetic dogs pointed in roughly the same direction.

Say hello!

If you’re thinking about new portraits, planning an event, or building a brand and want photography that feels thoughtful and intentional, tell me a little about what you have in mind.

You don’t need a detailed brief. Most projects start with a simple conversation about what you want the images to do and how you would like to be seen.

From there, we can decide whether I’m the right photographer for the job and what the next step should look like.

If that sounds helpful, get in touch and we can start the conversation.
