Jon Martin on Photography Throughout my childhood I played in my family's photographic shop, founded by my grandfather who had been a street photographer in the 1920's. Here I learned the basics of camera and studio equipment, and the mysteries of the darkroom. With the onset of teenage introspection, photography became a tool to understand myself and the city and society that I found myself in. Now I use photography to capture the beauty I find, and the wonder I feel for the interplay of light, colour and form in the natural and manmade world. My photographic output falls into three main areas: Design, Travel Photography , and Digital Art
