Bob Martin Photographer

Bob Martin is an English photojournalist who specializes on sports. Really anything that deals with sports has been covered by Bob. The Olympics? Yep. Rugby? Naturally. Horse racing... on ice? Of course! 

Bobs photography is widely known for its action. Never is there a lack of cinematic feel to his work, which is probably why he has won over 50 multi-national awards. That is a major achievement for anyone, let alone a photographer.

Netting these awards has also given Bob the chance to travel all around the world. That's right, not only has the man photographed many of the worlds sports, but he has also visited its many countries/provinces.

   Now of days Bob still regularly takes photos of sports and even gets his worked regularly published in Time, Sports Illustrated, and even The New York Times. If you would like to see more of Bobs amazing photograph, check out his personal website bobmartinphotgraphy.us

On his website bobmartinphotgraphy.us in his about page he perfectly expresses why he enjoys photography so much and what it really allows him to do. I would like to share that quote with you. "Living in Alaska has taught me to love light and the way it places across the face of this ever-changing planet. My goal is to keep my heart open, my mind quiet and my eyes alert for images that hold singular moments of beauty. Photography is a way to live my passion and intention. I hope that my images reflect this journey." When asked, in an interview for professionalphotographers.co.uk, what his proudest moment in photography was, he answered “I covered the Paralympics in Athens in depth and one of my pictures won the award,” explains Martin. “It was moving to see those guys, with all their physical conditions, out there competing. Emotionally, it was hard – normally I have a very thick skin with these types of things, but that was the first time something like that got to me. It puts life into perspective.”

According to bobmartin.com, Bob Martin has been a photographer for more than 30 years covering almost every major sporting event. He has photographed the last 13 winter and summer Olympics, and in the 2012 games he was appointed the overall photo chief of the games.

Also according to bobmartin.com, Bob Martin is the only Sports Illustrated photographer that is based outside the USA.  He currently lives in England, where he has won the British Sports Photographer of the Year Award 3 times now.

Bob Martin has been the recipient of  57 National and International awards. According to his website 23 of those awards were won in 2005 alone and within in those 23 was the World Press Photo Sports Picture of the year. He has also had photos published in various publications such as Time, Newsweek,  The New York Times, Life Magazine and National Geographic.
