Tributes paid to photographer martin evening

It is with great sadness and respect that we pay tribute to photographer Martin Evening, who died last week at the age of 63 from complications due to cancer. Martin worked for many years as a professional photographer in London and has shot many collections for the hair industry. You can see some of his beautiful work in the HJ Gallery. He also was a prolific writer of photography and software books. An expert in Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, Martin wrote over 30 books about these two programs. In 2008 Martin was inducted into the NAPP Photoshop Hall of Fame at Photoshop World in Las Vegas, USA. After retiring from commercial shooting, he and his family moved to the English countryside where he devoted more time to landscape photography and family time. Martin had quietly battled cancer for several years. A final quote from Martin was shared on his Facebook page, it reads: “When I reflect back as to why my books sold so well, I don’t think it was because I was particularly smart. Sure, I was clever enough to write informatively, but this never came as easy to me as it did for others. I think the fact I nearly always found it a struggle to make sense of complicated concepts, and seek ways to explain them more clearly, was something that resonated with my readers and made my books successful.” We send our condolences to Martin's wife, daughter, family and friends at this sad time. The hairdressing industry has paid their respects with the following tributes: @nickirwinhair Very sad! 1st ever shoot I was on was with Martin! 🙏🏽♥️🕊️ @erroldouglashair I’m devastated 🥺🥺😢😭 my first ever collections was with this great man.
