Christopher Lee Martin

1978 born in Austin, Texas
I was raised in Miami, Florida.

The photographs in my portfolio are as much about luminosity as they are about obscurity. I have been trying to perfect my craft. Photography is a preferred media because the camera captures my ideal vision of beauty, through creative reflex and technological accuracy. In my pictures, I enjoy how the shade draws the observer into the pictorial plane and the light directs the viewer back out. The camera is used to depict the lucid dreamscapes and visionary states of higher consciousness; recollections that give aesthetic and spiritual meaning to my life. To summarize my artistic philosophy is to say light is a body of its own making, therefore light creates its own objectivity.
