About Me

IPOP Photography established 2015

Landscape, Nature and Travel Photography


Thank you so much for visiting my website and taking some time to learn a little bit about me. 


Hi, I am Matthew Martin, born and raised in the small seaside town of Skegness on the East coast of England I am now fortunate enough to call Canada home! With vast, rich, and dramatic landscapes there is much to explore. With a camera in my hand I am in my happy place! So whether it is the -40 degrees of a brutal winter in the Rockies or the engulfing +40 degrees of a prairie summer, every chance I get, you will find me outside, exploring locations and hopefully creating the next image. 


I grew up in the era of film photography and while I had exposure to film (excuse the pun) I really didn't get fully involved in photography until my early 30's. During my years, I have been fortunate to travel extensively, experience many cultures all of which has led me to some incredible experiences...the ability to hold onto those precious moments, is what drew me to photography...by this time though digital was taking off! Digital technology and software has allowed us to push the boundaries of photography and while change can be seen both positively and negatively, I tend to embrace the ever changing nature of photography and all the resources we now have at our disposal. 


I am fortunate to have my work sell globally, appear in news publications and be shown on national television.


Through the medium of photography my purpose is to capture and share the stories and landscape of this ever changing world; produce work which takes the viewer with me, back to moment I hit that shutter button, a chance to view the image and hopefully provide some escape from the fast and changing world we live in. I believe if photography is done well it will create emotion and that is truly powerful!
