Studio G.R. Martin

Guy Martin founded Studio G.R. Martin photography in 1981, in Ottawa, after graduating 1st in his 1976 photography class in Montreal. His professionalism and innovative studio style made his reputation climb quickly as the "must see photographer" in his Ottawa community. He is known as the "Expert" of Portrait and Wedding photography and never seizes to amaze us with his new lighting and posing techniques. Guy always gives more than 110 % to his clients/friends. He is the "M. CONSISTANT" of every photo session he creates. He will go the extra mile to design the perfect portrait for you by often visiting your home, choosing the location for the portrait and the perfect frame to enhance and match your decor to perfection. Guy always has many projects on the go. He designs and builds all the sets and backdrops for our indoor and outdoor studios by combining cool designs and building materials that just fits perfectly when put together. His dance sets are an example of his innovative ideas. He is in every way, a true Artist.

Julie Robichaud-Martin graduated in photography from "La Cite Collegiale" in Ottawa, in 1995. With the "best portfolio of the year award" in her hands, she quickly joined Studio G.R. Martin photography that year to work as an assistant and became a professional photographer in 1997. Julie brings innovation with an artistic flare to Studio G. R. Martin. In 2001, she started to incorporate new digital and scanning techniques to the "film only" studio and by 2005, Studio G. R. Martin photography was 100 % digital. Julie loves to research and introduce new software programs. She developed a production line and retouching style that is now unique to Studio G. R. Martin. She is a retouching expert and insists on custom printing everything, especially her artistic wall portraits and paintings. She travels and attends workshops to help maintain a position on the cutting edge of photography. She is in every way, a true perfectionist.
