Marti Belcher

Life is a journey, a continuum of everyday events and ordinary people, all of which make for an extraordinary lifetime of experiences.

The commonplaceness of the people, the situations and the objects found along the journey, become the elements that calm us, bring us comfort, and furnish a sense of connectedness.

I am an adventurer, a lover of color, culture and the bewitching. I am happiest when I’m seeking out snippets of these various pieces of life in far-off corners of the world. I am drawn to the surface beauty but the beauty within ultimately captivates and transports me. The emotional meaning of a small gesture can be indelible. Caught by the camera, it can change the world’s view of an entire culture.

The phrase ‘the human condition’ is used to describe poignant photographs of people who live in distant places. Through my photography, I have come to understand that we are all part of the human condition, wherever our sod hut, farmhouse or estate may be. My portraits and photography are ultimately about seeking out our similarities, not our differences.
