About Tommy Martin

Tommy Martin @ The Village Bakery: Gallery Now OpenTommy Martin @ The Village Bakery: Gallery Now Open

Tommy Martin started in photography working as photographer’s assistant in London, before moving into film-making, design and illustration.

In 2004 he rediscovered his passion for stills photography when he relocated to Cumbria. The landscapes and dramatic weather of the Lake District and Eden Valley inspired a uniquely evocative and atmospheric style of photography.

In 2007 his work Stay on the Path was selected for inclusion in the How We Are exhibition at the Tate Gallery in London.

In the summer of 2008 Tommy Martin published a collection of his previous three years’ work in a book called Cumbria: Seasons of Mist, coinciding with the first public exhibition of his landscape work, held at the Village Bakery, Melmerby. With the success of this show he was invited to establish a permanent gallery at the Village Bakery Restaurant.

This gallery opened at the end of November and shows a range of his prints that changes throughout the seasons as Martin produces new work.
