Dan Martensen

Photographer Dan Martensen knows a thing or two about fashion photography. Whether he is shooting the latest editorial spreads, lookbooks or advertising campaigns, he's always reinventing his shots and adding meaning to his portraits. His work has been shown in photography shows around the world, His portrait and fashion work has appeared in magazines such as I.D, GQ, Vman and Teen Vouge. He has also shot campaigns for H&M, Costume National, Anna Sheffield and Converse One Star and has worked with designers such as Alexandra Wang and Even Yurman.

A lot of his Fashion Photographs are in black and white and have a grainy effect. this is what i love about his work. i believe shooting in black and white gives you a purer image. it forces you to see the image not the colour. i also think it can convey purity of emotion and action and when you look at Martensen's work you can see the emotion and meaning behind the photograph.

Looking through his online portfolios, some of this photographs give a autobiographical feel to them and come across more casual than his planned out fashion projects. I also think he picks the most beautiful locations to shoot in. Martensen has a raw style that is dominant throughout all his work.

he is definitely one to look at. enjoy :) xxxo
