Sandra Nera Martens
Photo artist
Directly after graduating as a photo designer, Nera Martens started her own business as a photographer. At the same time, she intensified her photographic art and developed a unique style through her own macro and lighting techniques, which has been published in numerous productions and exhibitions.
As a retouching expert she is responsible for the postproduction for high-end photo shoots, mainly from the automotive industry.
With her "portrait walk" she also offers a very individual and gentle photo shooting format, in which particularly authentic portraits are created through movement, conversation and being together. www.neramartens.com
