Biography
S. Martin Friedman has been a photographer and printmaker for more than 40 years. During that time he has earned three degrees in art, including a Master's Degree in Photography and a Post Graduate Degree in Graphics. He has also taught art on the secondary and college levels, and currently owns and operates his own Gallery and Framing operation in Westchester County, New York.
His artwork has sold in Galleries throughout the country and has been seen in numerous shows and Museums. When, in the 70’s he operated his own Atelier he did master printing for artists such as LeRoy Neiman and Salvador Dali.
With a strong background in classical design and an innovative spirit he has been able to incorporate even the most recent technology into his work. Most images are created in the traditional photographic medium (he uses medium format and large format cameras), but then uses digital technology to refine his work for publication. All images are then printed on a large format printer using only archivaly pigmented inks and 100% rag paper to ensure the longevity of his prints.
First I was a photographer. That was always my first love. Then I was a printmaker, but incorporated photographs into my work to create photo-etchings, taking advantage of the unique combining of the two mediums. Now, I'm a photographer again, this time using the latest digital innovations to create even more astonishing images than before. The creative control one has over the medium, using these new techniques, gives me unprecedented possibilities. After spending so many years in a darkroom, I'm amazed at how much more I can do at a monitor.
