Martin Podt

Martin Podt was born on a farm in the eastern part of the Netherlands. He has a passion for photography that started around 2013, although as a child he was already making photos with the SLR of his father. His camera is almost always by his side, for example when he is hiking or biking through the Dutch forests. Martin’s main subjects are trees, forests and rural scenery. It is important for him that photos express a certain mood and evoke emotions and feelings. For this reason, photos of moody, foggy forests belong to his favorites.

Martin has won several prizes and awards in national and international contests, including gold medals in the Trierenberg Super Circuit 2017, 2019, 2021 and 2022, gold medals in the MOTIVA Photo Art Circuit 2023, honorable mentions in the prestigious photography contest ND Awards 2019, award winner of Open See 2020 and 2025 of Tuchong, the leading photography community of China, Amateur Awards Second Place of the EPSON International Pano Awards 2021, and VIEWBUG Photographer of the Year 2022. His photos have been published in both national and international magazines and newspapers. Through photography he has gained a great appreciation for the Dutch countryside and especially the forests in his area form a continuous source of inspiration for him.
