Street Photography at it´s best - Miguel Martinez - First solo exhibition
22. May 2008 Art & Fashion, Calls & Events
As an interdisciplinary wiredancer Miguel Martinez is one of the kind of people you almost meet everywhere, that are involved in a hughe amount of subcultural activities, that are in the know of the now and that always make you ask: what else do they do?
For example: Photos - and exhibitions.
Tomorrow, Miguel Martinez first solo exhibition will be opened at Elektrohaus Hamburg.
As a professional multitasker - Martinez connects industry with subculture, art with money, brands with style, music with people and ideas with implementation and it goes without saying that he´s moving, shaking, checking and watching a lot.
Since 5 years, a mini digital camera is his permanent companion. Through night and day, in private and professional life. As an autodidact, Miguel Martinez, soon developed strong photography skills and an own, distinct style. With an affectionate focus on details, a love for architectural and industrial shapes as well as for moods, styles and people, Martinez created an assorted portfolio that soon gained recognition and approval through the internet and led to various publications in on- and offline media.
Last, Martinez was featured with a photo documentation about Bar 25 in Bang Bang Berlin Magazine and contributed as a jury member at the 1/Award by Pilsner Urquell. Tomorrow, we finally see his first exhibition with selected photographs. While not attempting to be a “real” photographer, Martinez shows us day by day on his flickr portfolio how professional and intense - sometimes silly, sometimes touching - but always entertaining street photography can be.
