A freediving instructor in his native Philippines, the Top 1 freediver in the country, and a 15x national record holder, Martin has all the breath-hold credentials he needs. Martin has been a creative media professional for more than ten years. He has also developed wide-ranging imaging skillset from photography and filmmaking to video editing and color grading.

 

He started as a graphic designer back in 2008, then he ventured into events and fashion photography. In 2010, Martin began to work in the filmmaking industry. He landed his first job as a colorist and eventually learned video editing. He also took workshops in directing, sound designing, and screenwriting.

 

Martin’s technical abilities and creative eye are in clear evidence, with beautifully choreographed depictions of his fellow freedivers and evocative marine life portraits composed with almost impossible precision. In a word: breathtaking.
