United States

Emma Martinson graduated from Lawrence University in 2009 with a degree in English and a minor in music (emphasis on theory/composition).

Emma's passion for photography started alongside her passion for riding horses when she was 12 years old. She participated in photography through 4-H, and took her first photography classes as a senior in high school, using her own Pentax ZX-30 SLR. Her photography centered around horses until she entered college. She began shooting with a Pentax K10D D-SLR and Lensbaby lenses before taking two photography courses in college, under the instruction of photographers J. Shimon & J. Lindemann, who furthered her love of the darkroom and introduced her to photographic theory, view cameras, pinhole box cameras, cyanotype, and her favorite medium format camera, the Hasselblad.

Currently without a darkroom, Emma's photography is largely a passionate hobby, though she works for clients whenever possible. Her favorite tools include her D-SLR, Adobe Lightroom, and family of Lensbabies: 2.0 lens, Composer lens, and optic swap system.
