He took his first black & white pictures of rural landscapes in Denmark at age eleven.
An enthusiastic
angler since boyhood, Martin had his first images published
with an article he wrote for a danish fishing magazine back
in 1986.
Since then, his work has appeared in numerous international magazines, calendars, posters as well as in various book-publications.
Martin
is interested in conservation and he actively supports the
preservation of wild habitats and ecosystems worldwide.
His
on-going photographic projects about documenting the 7 national
parks of France and other nature preserves, have led him
to arrange several exhibitions and lectures concerning protected
areas in Europe and North America.
A book of his work from the National Parks in France was published by Solar/Geo publication house.
He is currently working on a book project about the nature of Iceland and Greenland, which are scheduled for publication in 2009.
Each
year, Martin will arrange and lead field workshops and guide
photographic tours for smaller groups of photographers to
some of his favorite places in Europe...
All of Martin's wildlife images have been captured in the wild and not in "situations" or "game farms".
" In Aspen (Colorado), Martin
N. Johansen's photographic skills, enthusiasm and energy
have made him a force in the local arts community. Here
at 'Digital Arts Aspen', his digitally projected presentation
"The Seven National Parks of France" was enthusiastically
received...
Through his published work, limited edition prints and public
lectures he remain a strong advocate of the natural environment
and precious the wild places of the world."
