Rebellious fickle teenagers, unable to decide
Boy, I sure wish they'd make up my mind.”
Title and Words from the song, Mood Swings by Mercury Rev
Rapid mood swings are a trait of my many mental difficulties. I often think of myself as a human Yo Yo up and down constantly, my mind controlled by others.
I can offer prints up to A3. I would normally print on a fine art matte paper but image may dictate otherwise. The image size will depend very much on paper size and what I consider sits aesthetically correct within that paper size.
I'm also producing miniature art on brushed aluminium, image size approx 5x4 or ratio of.

Martin Vallis is a professionnal photographer. His style evolved, resulting in tightly- cropped, close-up work, mostly utilising Tungsten lighting, to enhance texture and detail. Two decades later Martin departed from commercial photography, concentrating on his own vision.
Throughout his career, Martin’s style has changed, yet there remains the ever-constant preference for simplicity of solitary objects, reflecting texture and shape: less is more. Society may spend time looking for the ‘Big Picture’ whilst missing the ‘Beauty of Simplicity’. He feels it portrays a deeply felt sense of isolation, solitude and emptiness. The artist is eager to conclude he now understands those feelings are more to do with his condition over reality.
Martin Vallis has studied Visual Communication at Medway College of Art and Design from 1976-79, moving to London in 1980. After working as a Photographic Assistant to Commercial Photographer Gary Bryan for 3 years, he set up his own studio in Chelsea in 1983, that specialised in high-quality still life photography, in the areas of Advertising, Design and Editorial. Martin also shot stills on TV and Cinema commercials, primarily with directors Howard Guard and Ridley Scott (Alien/Blade Runner/Gladiator). Some of Martin’s clients included, British Airways, BMW, Volkswagen and Selfridges.
