Martyn is from Durham and has been interested in photography for around 7 years. He is lucky to live so close to stunning locations on the coast and regularly visits places like Chemical Beach at Seaham, Steetly Pier at Hartlepool, and Shot Rock at Easington.

I’m lucky to live in such a lovely photographic area. I started with a Nikon 1 moving through the range with a 3200, 5500, 7200, 810 and recently upgraded to a Nikon 850 which is a fabulous camera. My favourite lens at the moment is a Sigma art 24-105mm, it’s hardly ever off the camera.

Martyn also has an interest in wildlife photography but his passion is for Landscape photography, especially seascapes, in fact anywhere with water.

I have a busy schedule with my painting contractor business and I also coach at Durham city aquatic’s every evening and at a weekends. I have 3 children who also swim so a huge chunk of my time is taken up with that, but I always make time to follow my photography passion.

Martyn got his inspiration from Ivor Miller who is also from Durham. After seeing the quality of his work and unique style he wanted to improve his skills and they became close friends.

I am self-taught and have really enjoyed the journey. Myself, Ivor and Bryan are good friends and we are out most weekends together following our passion.

The move to Nisi filters has been the best move I’ve made, the quality of the filters and holder are outstanding. I’m especially impressed with how easily they clean when out in the field.
