About Martin

Since his childhood, Martin Bertrand has always been drawn to the arts. His vacations were always accompanied by his disposable camera, his first steps in this universe. The discovery of photography really appeared when she was 14 years old. Hyperactive by nature, he is quickly seduced by the immediacy of the photographic medium.

After obtaining his baccalaureate, he naturally follows a professional training as a photographer which allows him to forge a solid technique and learn the inner workings of the profession.

Throughout his experiences, he quickly became aware of the power of photography and the possibilities open to him in terms of travel and discovery. His curiosity allows him to take a unique look at his contemporaries and the world in which we live.

In June 2016, Martin fell in love with Hans Lucas. The studio then makes a bet on its potential and decides to propel it.

Through his many personal projects, he is particularly interested in youth and geo-environmental issues. He is particularly fascinated by the 21st century and the upheavals that accompany it.

During 2017 and 2018, he led numerous projects in South East Asia where he was able to work for seven months. The most important of them is called The Faces of the Mekong. With the mythical Mekong River and its resources as its common thread, it puts into perspective the geo-environmental issues linked to development in the Indochinese peninsula (Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand).
He was also interested in Vietnamese and Laotian youth through the prism of street sports and urban culture.

In 2019, he went to Hong Kong to cover, among other things, the uprising of the pro-democracy movement, which earned him a nomination for the Bayeux Prize for War Correspondents in the Young Reporter category.

Alongside his projects, Martin also responds to orders from the press, NGOs and private companies.

His work is regularly published in the French and international press (Le Monde, Liberation, The Washington Post, Le Figaro, Vice, Reporterre, Mr Mondialisation, Fisheye Magazine).
These have been awarded several times, notably by the François Chalais Prize for Young Reporter of the Year 2015 in the photo category. He was finalist of the Grand Prix Paris Match of the student Photoreporter and awarded by the Young Talents Photo Prize by fotofever.
These projects also give rise to exhibitions and conferences.

About the lesson

PRACTICAL EXIT

For a more concrete and fun practice of photography, this outing will allow us to work on different aspects of photography:
- Mastery of your camera, whatever it is. If you practice photography with your smartphone, you are also welcome.
- Work on framing and composition.
- Using light as a raw material
- Learning street photography or "street photography".
- Post-production of the photographs on Lightroom (only on request).

IN-DEPTH TRAINING

Training consists of supporting you in the development of your photographic projects and in setting up your photographer activity. This training concerns photography as I practice it. That is to say a photograph which speaks of the world in which we live and which, at the same time, is creative with a real aesthetic research. In other words, we are halfway between photo reporting, documentary photography and artistic photography.
This tailor-made program for each learner is divided into two main parts

1) The creative process:
- Developing personal photographic writing
- Preparing and carrying out projects
- To assimilate the photographic narration and the codes of the photostory
- To know how to be a versatile photographer to diversify his sources of income
- To respond to a photographic order

2) A source of income activity over time term:
- Communicate well with the right tools
- Find funding for your projects
- Sell your projects and photographs through various channels
- Master productivity techniques to be effective all by remaining independent
- Finding customers and triggering concrete orders
- Multiplying your sources of income

With this training, I would be at your side to support you in the various stages of this process. We will set together your concrete short and long term goals and we will work day after day on the best method to achieve them.
Concretely, the training consists of work interviews by videoconference or face-to-face.

This training does not require a particular age or level of qualification. Nevertheless, certain prerequisites are necessary such as a good general culture (to understand the world in which we live), a certain maturity as well as a basic technical mastery of photography.
