Style and Substance

Ambassador Martina Govindraj shares how a change of camera restored her enthusiasm for photography.

Architecture, urban and underground pro Martina Govindraj has an uncomplicated approach to imagery.

“I favour clean lines, empty spaces and simplicity. Real life is hectic enough, which is why I look to produce images that aren’t busy,” she says. Martina is a self-taught photographer, but has always been drawn to visually pleasing design, from furniture to tall buildings. “I usually have an idea of an area or place that I want to explore, then hand over navigation and let my intuition lead the way. I try to capture moments in time that can’t be replicated.”
