About jeanine.marteau

I've been devoted to photography for seven years now, recently graduated from a video and photography course and am continuing with my own ideas and photography work. I write various blogs and articles and have a mountain of sketch books and note books for all of these things. Could do with another book shelf. I never really stick to one genre, style or technique because there is so much to explore and so much to take inspiration from to create concepts. I'm open to every aspect of photography and am pleased to say that after seven years, it still fascinates me and influences my everyday. Always looking for new inspiration and always creating :)

What a list to get through. I’m currently packing to move so I’ve come across some old sketch books, note books and photography books that had disappeared from my sight and from my mind and had been taken over by information regarding house applications, jobs and skyrim. So I’ve found […]
