Martina is a brilliant photographer of musicians. She is discreet and respectful around us, yet finds some of the most poignant moments to capture the musical gesture, the nuance of intent, the atmosphere and intensity of the performance. She also has a great eye for the informal moments which go towards making the whole package fun and alive! We loved working with her and seeing the fantastic results of her art.

I find Martina Simkovicova an exceptionally original, imaginative and creative photographic artist, whom I really can’t praise highly enough! As both a ‘live concert photographer’ and in the photoshoots we have done I have found her to be simply brilliant, capturing the moment in highly personal, poetic, daring and memorable ways.
