Martin Franks specialises in colour-rich digitally manipulated images. His pictures have been described as ‘enigmatic’, ‘bold’ and ‘innovative’. A recent editorial described him as ‘an emerging talent in the world of photography’ and ‘an original and inspirational artist’.
He began manipulating digital photography in 2003 following many years creating images for the publishing and corporate worlds. After nine exhibitions in only three years in the UK he is beginning to develop a following for his beautiful and enigmatic images. His subject interests range through Vegetable and Seafood Still lives to Cityscapes from across the world, as well as diverting into the unusual universe of the mannequin. His work is available through Boundless on art paper or canvas, mounted or unmounted. All the images here are Unique Single Edition 1/1 prints. No-one will have have exactly the same image though sometimes an original will be reworked for a different version. A collection of prints are available through a UK Gallery for strictly limited editions (up to 5).
Martin lives in the windswept Eastern Fenlands north of the ancient university town of Cambridge, UK. When he's not creating images, he is making films, writing books and playing his saxophone and piano.
