Biography
Marty Knapp has been a fine art photographer in California for over thirty years. The artist first became passionate about photography when he was given a 35mm rangefinder by his grandfather at the age of eleven. Knapp recalls the experience fondly. “That a small tin can could hold the world in it...well, perhaps only 36 pieces of the world...was magical for me! The magic has never died. I still love cameras, both old and new.” With the inspirational works of Ansel Adams as a guide, Knapp has focused his lens on landscapes that capture the beauty and wonder of our environment. Knapp’s affection for film has led him to enter the permanent collections of Fireman's Fund World Headquarters, Fair Isaac, and the National Park Service.
