Martine is an award winning photographer and specializes in action photography with animals (horses), but also in photographing weddings and spontaneously photographing people / children.
“What I love about photography is the versatility. A shoot is never the same for me. When a shoot is booked with me, I already get an idea of how we will do the shoot and what the result must be in terms of atmosphere. The customer doesn’t really notice that because during the shoot I want it to be as spontaneous as possible.
Children can go their own way while I photograph around them. Of course I pay close attention to the incidence of light, etc., but the children do not notice that. That way I get the most spontaneous photos and relaxed people and that is my goal. And as a mother of a 17-year-old son, I also know how to deal with adolescents:-)
I also love to share my knowledge. That is why I regularly give workshops. It is wonderful to see how enthusiastic the participants in the workshops are and who are also passionately photographing. I get a lot of energy from that.
As mentioned, traveling is also a great passion and I also combine that with photography by organizing beautiful photography trips to Andalusia and Portugal.
And as the text on the wall in my workspace says:
“A good life is a collection of happy moments”
And that is what I capture….

Wow, how beautiful the pictures have become! It was great to be able to do the photo shoot. Nice and spontaneous and nothing forced. Just as we hoped ?

On friday December 13th I followed a combination workshop Lr and Ps at Martine. At first I was quite nervous, but that was not necessary at all. She takes the time to explain it to you so that you understand it, which I really liked. Too bad that my laptop decided not to work well, I still learned a lot about Lr and Ps. Thank you Martine for your tips and advice. I hope to grow further with this and I will definitely come back for a workshop.
