Stephen Martin Photography is the culmination of 15 years of exposures and a lifetime of images. SMP is dedicated to the image and the audience, constantly focusing on the pre-visualization of the subject or client. SMP shoots happen in the studio or on location using traditional film or cutting edge digital. The desired effect is what you get.
SMP developed early in NW Indiana and moved south to W. Lafayette where training continued. Upon receiving a B.A. from Purdue, SMP was in constant pursuit of environmental portraits. To investigate, learn, and best portray the subject in an image or series of images.
Travels have taken SMP from California to Kiev, Portland to Prague, always ready to capture the ever-changing moment. Undoubtedly calling the Midwest home, SMP is now expanding its horizons while remaining true to its foundations. Based now in Winfield, just east of Crown Point, SMP is growing fast.

"Clients come out and they like the fact we are in a rural area. They appreciate the natural  images we create in the gardens, among the trees, or in the nearby orchard."

"I owe my passion for photography and any success in its pursuit to many people and many subjects. Most importantly to my wonderful wife, my always supportive parents and siblings, and my 3 fantastic kids."

"Thanks Cousin Julie for my first polaroid camera, Uncle Bob and Uncle Gus for sharing the equipment and pioneering the way when those darkroom chemicals could have killed you!

"Life is education. Learn to be a teacher."

"I would like to thank my many teachers. Especially Shirley Hewlett and Vernon Cheek, whose formal instruction and kind friendships still inspire."
