About Us
  • The Company - Our first goal is to listen, and to partner up with our clients projects to deliver the quality they expect from MSP. We achieve this with all of our staff taking pride in the quality of work being performed with a commitment to customer satisfaction. MSP got started in 1991 in the photographers home basement in Columbia, MD with a dream to create art with another art tool, the camera. Since then our creative space expanded to Rockville, MD and now in our 1200 sq. ft. studio in Baltimore, MD with the same dreams.
  • The Photographer - Jeff Martin purchased his first camera in 1991 when he found himself going to the garden island of Kauai, Hawaii with only his 4H pencil and charcoal to record the experience. What started out a tool for one art form quickly became his new passion.

Educated at Howard Community College to learn more about photography, then to Rochester Institute of Technology. At RIT he studied Desk Top Publication, Digital Color for Photography, and Printing to develop the high level of quality he demands in all his work.

Jeff started out shooting landscape for stock agencies, then took his first photography job at Glamour Shots in the Columbia Mall to get a crash course on the differences of peoples beauty. That experience of getting to know the portrait business and so many different people, helped develop his direction. He soon started teaching at The Washington School of Photography in Bethesda, MD. Where the love of teaching helped him develop and diversify photography seminars to help people fill the gaps in thier discipline.

Jeff's work remains infused by a coterie of influences: the famed photographers George Hurrell, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Gordan Parks, Richard Avedon, Yousuf Karsh, Helmut Newton, Edward Weston, Herb Ritts, Patrick Demarchelier, Jerry Avanaim, and Sante D'orazio to name a few of the people who helped shape the way he sees through the view finder today. You will find a natural "capture the moment" approach to his shooting style, a strong connection with his subject is important to help him bring out the natural beauty for an exceptional image.
