Lionel Martinez has worked in media for a long time.

He started way back when people had to watch television by candlelight.

Well it wasn`t that long ago.

Seriously, Lionel has worked in film and photography in various capacities from the late 60’s until the 80`s when videotape made working in film obsolete.

At that point, Lionel continued with his stock photography work and wrote six published books.

In the 90`s when digital non-linear editing evolved zinetv returned to television.

This of course is a very very abbreviated bio lacking many details and textures.

Lionel has a photo that I just love. I made it one of my favorites and I keep coming back to take a look at it.

Once you see that photo you'll understand that it was taken by an artist. I come to Lionel's photostream to see an artist at work.
