Holly Martin
Freelance photographer, artist, film location consultant and land speed race car driver. Media Coordinator at Maxwell Industries- Home of the SPEED DEMON- World’s Fastest Piston Engine- Wheel Driven Race Car. DP for the SCTA land speed racing events at El Mirage Dry Lake and the Bonneville Salt Flats.
Holly specializes in automotive and mechanical photography as well as the unique culture of auto racing. The images she captures of classic automobiles, dragsters, hot rods, customs, and motorcycles are transformed into timeless works of art by her lens. Her distinctive images of land speed racing at the Bonneville Salt Flats and El Mirage dry lake are a reflection of her passion for innovative metalwork and the “artists” who build them.
“For me, car building is a unique arena in which art and invention morph and combine into functional masterpieces. Ideas are transformed into moving machines expressly designed to push the limits of what is possible. Sometimes, they are fabricated just for Sunday drives. Sometimes, they break world land speed records. I admire the unusual souls that love hot rods, land racing, and brass era culture. I am proud to count myself a member of their community. It is my pleasure to bring some of that world to others through my work.”
Her work has been featured world-wide editorially and on numerous television and video productions, and most recently with the newly released book “One More Than 10 – Singer and the Porsche 911”.
