Martin Brent Photography
I'm an advertising and fine art photographer, past President of Association of Photographers and Sony World Advertising Awards Advertising Photographer Of The Year 2010.
Ever since I was a kid I wanted to be a photographer, I received my first slr for my tenth birthday and my photography anorak was fully fitted there and then. I never had any doubt that I wanted to become a photographer.
Fast forwarding 30 years I've been fortunate to shoot all over the world on campaigns for clients like Adidas, Sony, Speedo, HSBC & Landrover to name a few, I feel extremely fortunate that I get to do something I genuinely love.
I'm proud to have shot all the stills and moving image for Fresh this year - Let The Sin Begin!
