Martha Hernandez is a photographer from Costa Mesa, California who explores and creates impressionistic art with intentional camera movement and post-production techniques that reward us with her subjective interpretations of the landscape. Martha's work has received excellent professional reviews and she exhibits at the Laguna Beach Art A Fair. She is currently at work on several portfolios that explore motion and color emotion. 

​

Martha's primary photographic interest is in capturing the exceptional beauty of the natural world. This can include the wordless grandeur of a landscape; the subtle interactions of texture and color found in a single flower; or the extraordinary varieties of immaterial light itself, when dappled through a forest, or reflected off water. For Martha, the inexhaustible shapes in which the natural world reveals itself are a source of personal inspiration and a reminder of something basic.  

​

Martha's images are not statements about the landscape world through art; they are statements about art through the detachment of images from the bits of landscape reality she finds. Her work is no accident. It is a signaled commitment to photography as art.

 

Sharing with and communicating to others what she sees is Martha's goal: through the craft of photography to make visible a world that we too often do not see, but is available to us if we would just slow down, stop, and look.
