THE ENDURING IMAGE


Your pet is the heartbeat of your home. A companion whose fleeting presence deserves to be immortalised. I understand the quiet ache of knowing their time is precious, which is why I go beyond to capture the very essence of their personality and spirit. You deserve a breathtaking work of art that preserves their warmth forever. Entrust me with your pet's story, and I'll ensure that their legacy never fades.

Did you know that in the UK alone, 3 billion photos of pets are taken each year?


We live in an age of impermanence. Our lives are documented in thousands of fleeting digital frames, momentary glimpses that are often captured, yet rarely seen.


We have limited time with our wonderful companions; you should show them off the way they deserve.


Professional photos do more than capture that moment in time; they capture the story and soul of your beloved animal.

I'm Martyn

The one behind the camera.

 

 

My Journey began in my early 20s, driven by the love of art and the idea that a single frame can tell a story. That led me to earn my formal degree in photography, where I mastered the technical precision and classical lighting techniques that I now bring to every session.


My work has been featured in numerous publications and in a career highlight selected by celebrity naturalist Chris Packham. This recognition reinforces my commitment to delivering high-quality photography that respects the animal's comfort and natural spirit.

I know that animals don't always follow a script.


Whether your companion is a seasoned poser or a ball of nervous energy, I draw on years of experience working with animals and a patience-first approach. My background gives me the technical expertise to handle any lighting or environment, so I can focus on creating a work of art you'll be proud to show.

Martyn came to my home to photograph my whippet and I am totally in love with the photos. He's captured her personality so well.


He made sure we didn't put her under any unnecessary stress and worked around her completely. So glad we have these photos of her for life 🤍 thanks so much Martyn!

Testimonials

Had the pleasure of doing a photoshoot for me and my dog with Martyn. I cannot thank him enough with how well the photos turned out and how fun the whole process was. He was very patient with Harris who wasn’t a fan of the big scary light to start with but martyn put him at ease and Harris began to trust him. Martyn also advocated for Harris when offlead dogs were approaching which also put me and Harris at ease! Highly recommended!

Testimonials

I honestly don’t know how he can get such amazing photos of quick dogs. Flyball is a fast sport. Some dogs running 100ft in 3 seconds. Martyn still manages to capture amazing shots of the dogs. So talented. Would definitely recommend.
