Welcome to Liquid Light Whisperer.
It all begins with an idea. A story, a lens, and a beautiful piece of film..
I’m Martin, a devoted analogue photographer with a passion for creating on film. I’ve documented atmospheric conventions and legendary movie figures, including Dario Argento, Craig Sheffer, Doug Bradley, and the cast of Hellraiser, Inception, A River Runs Through It and Wonder Woman. I’ve been a brand ambassador for Analogue Wonderland, a writer and photographer for Martial Arts Illustrated, and I regularly test and promote the latest film stocks, encouraging enthusiasts to explore the rich tapestry of film photography.

Philosophy on Analog Photography
I see analog photography as a quiet conversation between the photographer, the moment, and the film itself. There’s a beautiful uncertainty in pressing the shutter and not knowing exactly how the final image will turn out until it’s developed. That sense of anticipation reminds me to slow down and really look at what I’m capturing. The natural grain, the subtle colour shifts, and even the occasional imperfection aren’t flaws—they’re what make each frame honest and alive. For me, that’s the real magic of film: it encourages patience, attention to detail, and a deeper connection to the story unfolding in front of the lens.

Testimonials
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of capturing the essence of musicians, Hollywood actors, distinguished directors, as well as icons from European cinema.
My passion for photography extends beyond taking photographs, and I have dedicated myself to mentoring fellow photographers. My goal is to help them in mastering their craft; navigating the intricacies of shooting to darkroom equipment, and elevating their skills to new heights.
