MARTIN HAS a created a successful career by combining his three passions of mountain biking, travelling and, of course, photography! He’s one of only two Swiss ambassadors in the Canon Europe Ambassador program and is considered one of the most published outdoor photographers in Europe. His travel reports in 2019 featured in more than 50 publications and 20 countries. In the last three years he’s been running photography workshops on composition, flash, story development and editing
In 2003 I made the jump to being self-employed and combined my three passions in life: photography, travel and mountain biking. Over the last 15 years I’ve made myself an international name as a bike photographer, working with pro riders like Danny MacAskill and Nino Schurter, and for clients like RedBull, Adidas and Oakley. I’ve been lucky enough that my work has taken me all around the globe: Himalayas, South Africa, Greenland and Iran, just to name a few. The images above were taken on an expedition in Pakistan, 2019. Myself and two friends went on our first-ever mountain biking expedition to the K2 base camp. We had to carry our equipment over a 5600m high pass to get there.
I wanted to document the expedition as authentically as possible. I was taking pictures and filming a documentary too. The story was published in more than 20 countries.

Whether you want to capture a painting like the above, digitise old prints or reproduce any kind of canvas, there's real skill in capturing artwork with your camera. Not only do you need the colours to be accurate, you also need to master the spread, angle and quality of the light to minimise glare and show the work at its best.This painting by the artist Bryan Hanlon has a wonderfully subtle colour palette. To reproduce the painting in print and digital form, it needs to be captured in the right way.
