Kevin Martini-fuller

Kevin Martini-Fuller began making photographs with a Brownie Camera at age twelve. He currently lives, teaches photography, and pursues his creative photographic interests in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His area of expertise and passion is in historical photographic processes, specifically photogravure and carbon/carbro printing.

Kevin started out in the corporate world and after fifteen years he changed careers and embarked on a journey in photography, which was more in harmony with his creative interests.

During the past 25 plus years he has been active in developing and expanding his talent and sharing his knowledge with others through his teaching. Along with his university schedule he also conducts and teaches workshops in the United States and Europe. For 16 years Kevin was an Ambassador for the Eastman Kodak company and conducted photo programs at the Grand Canyon National Park.

Kevin established his career in photography in Boise, Idaho where he lived and worked for fifteen years. During his Idaho years he served a four-year gubernatorial appointment to the Idaho Commission on the Arts, and is the founder of the Idaho Photographic Workshop, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the education and expansion of the medium of photography as a form of personal expression. While in Idaho he returned to college and acquired his BFA degree in Art History from Boise State University and followed that with a move to Carbondale Illinois where he graduated with an MFA in Photography from Southern Illinois University. Prior to moving to Philadelphia in 2006, Kevin lived and taught photography in St. Louis, Missouri.

In 2000 he was the recipient of the International Grand Prize, single image, award presented by the Photo Marketing Educators Association International. In 2005 he received a third place award from the same organization. He has had numerous one-person exhibits and has participated in many national and international group shows.

Mr. Martini-Fuller has produced four limited edition portfolios: “Cloverly Ranch”, a privately commissioned portfolio released in 1989; “Portfolio I, The Dancer and the Space”, released in 1989; Portfolio II “Portraits and Poems – A collection of twenty cowboy and cowgirl poems” released in 2004, and Portfolio III “Praha, A visual diary of Prague in the Czech Republic”, released in 2005.

Kevin divides his time between teaching, producing new work, and creating portfolios. Two new portfolios, “The Idaho years, 1975-1990”, and “Studio closed every Friday” are scheduled to be released soon.
