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.
