About the Photographer
Marty Hulsebos has been photographing landscapes since 1987. After receiving a business degree from Arizona State University and working in business for several years, he decided to pursue photography. He learned the craft through years of passionate practice and self-study, and now combines his photography work with graphic design. He has made the American southwest and the Blue Ridge Mountains his primary photographic subjects. See his other web site, which displays his Blue Ridge Mountains photos.
The Process
For 20 years Marty photographed with film, starting with 35mm and progressing to 6x7 medium format.
As the digital era developed, Marty combined digital technology with that of film. During this transition period, he photographed with his film camera, scanned the film, and then created digital prints. Digital technology has now fully caught up to film and Marty has left film behind.
“There are things I can do with digital that I couldn't do with film. And digital is making me more productive—I can print photos the same day I shoot it. By contrast, I still have film-based images that I have yet to scan and print.”
Marty’s photos are printed with archival-quality materials that are rated to last over 70 years before noticeable fading.
The Subjective Side
As he progressed with his craft, Marty found his subject of focus expanded to include not just the scenes he was photographing, but his own relationship to his environment.
“I find there are two sides to photography— subjective and objective. The more I photographed, the more the process—the objective side—became second nature. This has allowed my attention to be mainly on the subjective side. And as a result, I find myself seeing not just light and object, but profound silence and beauty. I have increasingly felt a oneness with what I photograph. In this way, photography has become a process of expansion of awareness. I hope you enjoy the result in these images.”
