Jaime Martinez, an artistic photographer born and bred in Mexico, started doing professional photography at the age of 27. Now only 4 years later international fashion and pop art magazines like Dazed & Confused are going moggy over his crazy style.

I’ve been a lover of photography since I was 4. I remember using up all the film in my grandmothers ‘click-click’ camera, then begging her to develop the film.

So when I come across talented artists who only begin their blossoming carreers after 30 it kind of reminds me how much time is left in life to do extraordinary things.

Jaime is praised for the bright contrasting colour in his photography.

Take a look at his knack for taking what I like to call stunning raw imaged photographs. He has also done some really cool fictional pics.

Jaime Martinez has me baffled and delighted at the same time by these awesome gif images he’s created. Can anyone fill me in on how he does this?

OK then! Clearly I couldn’t upload it here (yes, this is meant to be a gif) so you’re just going to have to click on the linked text below.

There’s loads more to blow your mind at brightlightbrightlight!. Cool site name ey?

Here’s an extract from an interview with him at DazedDigital.com

DD: What inspired you to take up photography?
JM: The people that I like, women. To catch and preserve the moments I live, but mainly to invent those moments that exist in my dreams and imaginations. I like to build micro-tales without specific answers.

DD: What are your plans for the future?
JM: Concerning the animated gifs I want to keep experimenting until I get tired of it, the animated gifs are just a part of my search for my style. I want to keep doing “regular” photography and worry less about the technique and more about the theme and the impact of the photo. More than a photographer I want to be someone who can create visual images.
