Artist Bio

Martin Roberts began his photographic career as a boy using his “Brownie Box Camera” at age seven. Now, widely regarded as a master black & white photographer, his images are collected world wide. He composes the images in a way a “painter” would construct a painting in the sense that, every visual element has a balance and purpose to the overall appeal of the eye.

Martin Roberts started experimenting with colors on his black & white photographs shortly after his father had him in the darkroom as a youngster. Widely regarded as fine art paintings, Martin’s work embodies the extraordinary detail and compositions of his master quality black & white photographs.

“I have to create an image that is so compelling with or without paint that my clients say that this is something they must own.”

Virtually all the flowers, foliage and all color has been painted in by hand and never existed in the original black & white photograph.

“It’s the best of both worlds…the emotional feel of a fine art painting combined with the detail that can only be achieved in black & white photography.

Martin’s work is widely seen in Fine Art Galleries worldwide.
