— About me, social media, and how to get in touch
Martin Linss is as comfortable a photographer/cinematographer on a fashion set in Los Angeles or New York as he is on a flatbed truck in Sierra Leone.
Welcome to my world of visual storytelling…
With over 30 years of experience in the industry, I am a seasoned cinematographer and photographer who has dedicated my life to capturing moments that evoke emotions and ignite imaginations. My journey began at the prestigious School of Visual Arts in the 90s, where I honed my technical skills and developed a deep understanding of the power of composition, lighting, and visual aesthetics.
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working on a wide range of projects, from feature films and documentaries to advertising campaigns and fashion editorials. Every frame I capture is a testament to my unwavering passion for the art of visual storytelling. Whether it's through the lens of a camera or the careful manipulation of light and shadow, I strive to create imagery that transcends boundaries and connects with audiences on a profound level. Join me on this creative journey as we explore the captivating world of cinematography and photography, where every frame has the power to transport you to another time, another place, and another emotion.
