Artist Bio
David Martin is a self-taught landscape photographer who has called north central Idaho his home since 2004. Having spent most of his life in the desert southwest of eastern New Mexico, the move to the Pacific Northwest was a dramatic and inspirational change. The diverse terrain, abundant moisture and clearly defined seasons of Idaho have combined to put a perpetual smile on his face. This is borne out in his images of the area, as they reflect the many wonders of the natural landscape.
David's approach to photography is rather simple to state, but difficult to put into practice: "Follow the Light". "Light" truly is the paint on the canvas of a photograph. Searching for or waiting for that perfect light on the landscape is the primary ingredient in his photography, used to create the mood or express the emotion that the landscape exudes.
David's images have been published in "Black and White" magazine and online by numerous prestigious juried photography organizations, including "The Spider Awards" and the "Color Awards". His art has been recognized consistently in regional juried art shows where he showcases his photography of the Pacific Northwest.
An amateur photographer who works at his craft full time and who is committed to creating visually compelling, emotionally stirring images of Nature with the utmost of care and best of techniques, David is continually seeking to inspire others to love and respect Nature through a deeper connection with her beauty.
