Martyn Thompson

Paju, Korea

I am an artist and photographer from the UK, who has been based in Korea for the last 7 years.

For the first few years working as a photographer, I almost entirely specialised in studio work. As my skills developed, this allowed me more opportunities to put them to the test and work within a variety of environments and on new and exciting collaborations, ranging from fashion products to portraiture.

More recently, I have been working freelance, and pushing in to the fields of pregnancy, baby and wedding photography.

My ongoing private projects currently include stroboscopic dance photography and nude photo collages.

I am available for work on collaborations, private projects, and commissions, so please feel free to contact me regarding any opportunities that may be open.

Many of my works have been exhibited around the Korean peninsula. Here is my exhibition history:
