Member Profile
Marta Hewson- Photographer
Marta has always been attracted to images of beauty and was drawn to photography at an early age. She felt a great desire to create photographs that brought a sense of "wow" to the viewers, and after working for one of Canada's top fashion photographers in the mid 90's, she have never wanted to do anything else.
Marta studied photography in college and joined the Professional Photographers of Canada, and is currently the vice-chair of the Hamilton/Niagara Branch. This is how she stays current and keeps continuously learning.
Making people look more beautiful than they ever imagined is Marta's ultimate aim. Sessions begin with a professional make-over, then you are guided through poses that enhance your natural beauty. She wants to leave an impression with her clients, and she strives to make the shoot a one-of-a-kind experience for them. Marta wants to elevate people's confidence and wants them to see themselves in a whole new light.
