Lifestyle + Campaign Photography

NATURAL LIGHT. REAL CONNECTION. AUTHENTIC STORIES.


Martine is a lifestyle photographer based in Bondi, Sydney, with over 14 years’ experience photographing families, couples and personal brands. Her approach to new work is grounded in natural light, genuine connection and a sense of rawness and honesty — creating images that feel lived-in, intimate and real rather than overly polished or staged. Her work is centred around authentic human connection, with a particular focus on the female narrative and a passion for creating strong, emotive imagery that represents the diversity of female experience. She is interested in photographing real people, real bodies and the many different ways women look, live, connect and experience the world.


Through personal projects such as The Body Project, she explores the gap between the way beauty and bodies are represented in advertising and the diversity we see in everyday life, with a desire to bring more honest, relatable and representative imagery into the public sphere.



She is open to a range of commercial opportunities with brands looking to create intimate and honest imagery that captures people, connection and everyday life through natural light and an authentic visual approach. This could include lifestyle campaigns, brand stories, editorial content, social campaigns and commissioned photography.
