I'm recommended by the Imperial War Museum North, Victoria Warehouse and The Mere Golf and Spa Resort

and, as the Manchester Evening News said ...

Martin .. "produces pictures of the highest quality and impact. He is totally reliable and

approaches each assignment with enthusiasm and originality"

Great rates, tons of experience!

The great photographer Robert Capa once said

"If your pictures aren't good enough, then you aren't close enough" ..

Is this close enough for you?

It's ok, I survived .. though you probably guessed that!

In fact, despite being called Martin O'Neill, just about the only thing I don't do is football ..  !

Things they say ...

"I've worked with Martin.." says Andy Loynes, of Pure PR
" .. for - gulp! - over 20 years and found that he consistently delivers first class,

creative photography which is readily picked up by local, regional, national and trade media.
He works quickly and professionally, understanding the frequent need in a fast-paced

multi-media world for a swift turnaround.

An excellent practitioner."

"Martin was always able to take the one everyone else wished was on their roll of film"
Andrew de Rosa, Former Chief Executive Officer at ABTT

(Association of British Theatre Technicans)

Cheers guys, and I'll even forgive Andrew the 'film' analogy!
