About Martin

I grew up in Leicester, which is about as far from the ocean as you can get in the UK, so it was only when I moved to Cornwall, with its incredible marine life, that I took up underwater photography. After a few years of taking essentially ID or records type shots, I got into underwater photography more seriously about 2-3 years ago. My main aim has been to capture the diversity of life, especially colours and patterns, around the UK and especially the Cornish coast. I started off with a GoPro and then moved onto a compact Canon set up.

Recently, I got the housing to use my Olympus EM-5 Mark III underwater, which is now the camera I use for both wide angle and macro. I enjoy scuba diving but take the vast majority of my photos freediving, snorkeling, or just in rock pools.
