Marty Kelly Client Testimonials

King’s Hawaiian Online Store-
I have worked with Marty since 2012 and every single project with him has been a five star experience. The real magic of working with him is that he takes the time to fully understand the context of how the photography will be used and the business culture it needs to convey. He offers artistic direction to achieve those results and he never settles for anything less than his best. He is also a great planner, making sure that everything needed will be in place at the time of the photoshoot and that he has allocated appropriate time for processing images afterwards to deliver them on schedule. Even better, Marty is very genuine and personable so I always look forward to spending some time with him.

Thomas Murray, Arts Asiatica-
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.

Marvac Scientific-
We use Marty to photograph our automotive tools. His photos are always very good (clear, sharp, posed well). He gets the job done quickly and provides us with different formats to cover print work or posting to a website. Marty is a professional that takes his work seriously. I highly recommend him.

Lanny DeVuono-
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.

Jack Daulton-
I am an art collector whose works have been published in exhibition catalogues, books, and articles around the world, for museums including the Musée d’Orsay, Paris, the Leopold Museum, Vienna, and the Albertinum, Dresden, among many others. During the past 12 years, I have worked with Marty Kelly on numerous projects for publication in which he photographed artworks from my collection (paintings, drawings, prints, etc.) as well as archival materials and three-dimensional objects. He is a consummate professional, whose technical, problem-solving, and indeed artistic abilities are superlative. Marty approaches any project, large or small, with meticulous care and extraordinary skill, yielding breathtaking results. I would not have been able to showcase my art collection in the way that I have without his photography. Moreover, Marty is a friendly, down-to-earth person who is a pleasure to spend time with. I would not consider using any other photographer for my projects.

Concord Consortium-
We’ve worked with Marty for the past six years – he’s done a fabulous job photographing our West Coast staff for our website. He is easy to work with and a great communicator. I highly recommend him!
