Adrian Martin grew up on Long Island. As a child, she spent time in Montauk with her family as they refurbished an old lobster boat. Always loving her time here, while in college during the late 70’s, she made her way out to work for the summers. Near and deep in her heart, she ultimately returned to Montauk again in 1990.
Adrian has a Bachelor’s of Fine Art Degree in photography and realizing she couldn’t make a living as an artist, in 1984, she ventured into film. Her work has mostly been in commercials, but in the 90’s she worked on a documentary for PBS, NYTV By the People Who Made It, for which she produced interviews of numerous well-known actors, directors and producers who started their careers in NY. Her work earned her 2 Emmy Awards – a noteworthy recognition.
Photography has always been her hidden passion, Adrian told me. She’s been thinking a lot more about photography in the recent years and always had an eye for the lens.
Fortunate for us, she continues to take beautiful shots like the one on this month’s cover.
