W
hen an artist finds a medium for creative
expression that fulfills their life’s dreams,
their art is most certainly imbued with a
special sparkle of vivacity. For photographer
Charles Martinez, it was a lifelong dream to
create aerial images. Through perseverance
and determination, he eventually actualized
his ambition and is now able to photograph
stunning images that are generally reserved
only for a bird’s eye view.
Like many photographers who started before
the digital age of photography, Martinez began
by taking portraits of his schoolmates with his
sister’s Polaroid 600. His chosen tools of the
trade have certainly progressed since then, and
while he still enjoys portraiture, his real love of
photography comes from above.
