Martin Smith
Martin Smith is a retired amateur photographer. Born in the UK in 1952, he retired to a small village called Stambolovo located in South Bulgaria in 2012, where he now lives with his Bulgarian wife Aneta, and Merrie the dog.
He spends most of his time passionately renovating their 80-year-old house and what spare time he gets is spent on the other passion in his life, photography.
Martin loves to take all kinds of photographs, but his main areas of interest are close-up and macro photography, landscapes, and nature in all forms. A creative photographer, Martin also uses everyday objects to create photographic images.
His current set up consists of a Canon 70D DSLR, 50 mm kit lens, Tamron macro lens and his trusty Manfrotto tripod. You can see more of Martin Smith’s images on Facebook and on his website. All images courtesy of the photographer.
