Christopher James Martin

I am a recent graduate living in the heart of Leeds, with a passion for Photography and Design. I got into photography a couple of years ago after looking at some photoblogs from the website www.trickery.net. This inspired me to learn everything I possibly could about Camera's and then eventually to buy a Canon Digital SLR and start taking pictures myself.

This then spawned my other passion, Design. I loved learning how to use the Adobe Suite and how to create professional looking designs and images. Adobe Photoshop is an essential program to me and I use it on a daily basis, I still find myself learning new ways of doing things differently, and with great results.

I also thoroughly enjoy using 3D Studio Max. I love the idea that you can model and animate any object you like and it is incredibly satisfying when you see the finished render of your project. I have modelled & animated a vast aray of things from cars to spaceships to a talking 3D model of my own head.

Whilst at University i studied Bsc Multi-Media Technology, On this course i covered many aspects of media including modules in Graphic & Design, 3D Modelling & Animation and Video Production & Editing.
