Born in Johannesburg, South Africa (1963),
Martin Osner opened his first photographic
studio in Johannesburg (1985) where he established a solid reputation
as a
professional photographer and artist. Osner eschews “pure registration”
photography, favouring a more expressive vision that accords with his visual understanding
and spiritual appreciation of the world. A
multi-award winning artist his
photography is characterized by an urge to explore with the willingness to
experiment. Concentrating intently on elemental form, pattern and shape, paired with a necessary
sense of restraint, he bears out his belief that simplicity is the cornerstone of successful imaging.
Today Osner specializes in a
contemporary portfolio of fine art photography, offering
limited edition Giclée and
traditional black & white vintage prints, into a collectors’ market. His collection
consists of
ghostly abstract renditions,
moody landscapes and
social documentary imaging. He
strives to establish and develop close working relationships with respectable
interior design companies and
selected galleries through which he accepts
private commission work. Osner’s work
is available through selected galleries in Europe and Africa as well as directly online
