Marty Kelly is a fantastic photographer, one of the best I've worked with over the years. We have been working together for 5 years and every shoot we do I appreciate his extensive experience, eye and creativity. He sees things I never could and helps me in ways other photographers can't. Marty's work is impeccable and his prices are always fair. Heidi Carey, Founder Heidi Carey Designs

Marty Kelly is a brilliant photographer...He recently helped me produce the critically acclaimed book, "Textiles of Indonesia," with over 500 photographs, including detail shots that showed every thread. Marty is not only a great photographer, he is at once sensitive and responsible. Marty is careful with the art at all points of the job, from the arrival of the pieces to their return. He is responsive to my sometimes urgent needs, and patient with my quirks as a client. For the above reasons and more, I can highly recommend photographer Marty Kelly.

Marty is an exceptional photographer. He is shooting many of my Aymara textiles for a book, hopefully coming out soon. Aymara textiles are among the most difficult textiles to photograph. I know since I have had others try -- difficult to get the color and texture right, difficult to know when to shoot with or against the warp or set the light high or low. He has the experience and I have never been disappointed. I am grateful to have Marty to work with.

Marty Kelly is a master of photographing textiles and objects. He has documented my artwork for many years and achieves the most accurate reproduction of the subtle qualities and textures in my weavings. It is very difficult to capture and I am always so impressed with his results.

Marty was very professional and I am delighted with the photos he took. He has a great studio with a variety of equipment to photograph objects of different dimensions and even more importantly, Marty is a problem solver, recognizing exactly what set-up he will need in order to best document your work.

Marty photographed hundreds of historical textiles and prints for my latest book, Labels of Empire. He treated each piece with the utmost aesthetic and professional attention. Nothing needed to be reshot and our sessions moved along at a smooth and steady pace.
Marty's studio is easily accessible, spacious and comfortable to work in. And most importantly, Marty is a pleasure to work with!
I am looking forward to shooting another art book with Marty Kelly...

Marty is an excellent photographer: knowledgeable, detail-minded, professional, and timely. For the past 6 years he has photographed my embroidered artwork enabling it to be sold online with success. I recommend him highly.
