Martine Pinnel
About
Bio
Martine is a Luxembourg based portrait, editorial and landscape photographer.
Her accomplishments of winning best portfolio in the Academy of Art University Spring Show 2012 in San Francisco, and obtaining an art scholarship from Luxembourg, gave her the confidence to enter the Vogue New Exposure contest, placing her as a top 10 finalist.
Besides Europe, her boundary free interest in different cultures, styles and aesthetics enabled her to expand her work radius to China and the USA.
In her work, Martine constantly aims to visually recreate thoughts, ideas and experiences which are linked to, and inspired by various places and people.
Her multi cultural influences have affected her signature style, which leave her with a personal artistic language beyond commercial purpose.
In 2018 she received the fonds stART-up from the Oeuvre Nationale de Secours Grande-Duchesse Charlotte which enabled her to make her first short film entitled "Sea Dream Avenue" accompanied by a extensive photo project.
