Former darkroom technician at the Canberra Times and stringer for Reuters in London.
With a career that spans the breadth of the internet industry, my journey began in 1994 at the Internet Comms Today magazine. This was followed by a tenure at .net magazine, where I delved deeper into the world of web publishing. As my interests diversified, I ventured into the realms of online commerce, business, and entertainment content creation.
Eventually, my path led me back to Canberra, where I transitioned into the Defence and Government IT sectors. Here, I focused on Design and Solutions Architecture, working with CSC Australia. During this time, I spearheaded large-scale IT solutions that challenged and expanded my skill set.
This experience paved the way for a role as a mobile developer, where I further honed my expertise in capability development over several years. Today, my diverse background and in-depth experience equip me with a unique standpoint on the intersection between technology, business, and content creation.
Prior to resuming his career in press photography around 2020, Martin dedicated himself to photographing and promoting Canberra through a variety of initiatives in collaboration with the ACT Government. His commissioned work features a roster of long-standing clients including Tourism Australia, Visit Canberra, the ACT Government, and The Canberra Symphony Orchestra.
