Martin Podt

Martin Podt was born on a farm in the eastern part of the Netherlands, a rural area in which he still lives.

Martin has a PhD degree in applied physics. Next to his job as R&D engineer, he has a passion for photography that started around 2013. His camera is almost always by his side, for example during his mountain bike rides in the weekends through the Dutch forests. Martin’s main subjects are trees, forests and rural scenery. It is important for him that photos express a certain mood and evoke emotions and feelings. For this reason, photos of misty tree lined roads belong to his favorites.

Martin has won several prizes in national and international contests and he is constantly working on improving his skills. Through photography he has gained a great appreciation for the Dutch countryside and especially the forests in his area form a continuous source of inspiration for him.
