Born in Argentina, I moved to Glastonbury with my wife, Karen, more than 20 years ago. Now, we live in Risca, Wales, with a handsome son, Llawdden and a lovely daughter, Crisiant.
Visual artist and glamour photographer since 1997, published author, professor, lecturer, and creative explorer.
Author of several books and articles exploring the intersection of Photography & Graphic Design as artistic expressions. Frequently invited by institutions and exhibitors to share insights on the art of visual storytelling through lectures and special seminars.

My artistic practice is eclectic, drawing inspiration from the visual poetry of travel, the symbolism of medieval subjects, and the expressive allure of glamour.

In my spare time, I shoot arrows, participate in reenactment events, HEMA, collect old cameras, and learn to play the trombone.

Creating images is just one path in my continuous search to express myself.
My experience as a theatre lighting designer has deeply influenced my artistic vision, enabling me to experiment with unconventional lighting techniques that infuse my photography with a unique, rich sense of glamour.
After many years working with film photography and evolving to digital techniques, I am now going back to the roots and shooting with techniques developed in 1851.

From the looks of things, Argentinian photographer Martin Sotelano has a way with the ladies—or the ladies in his photographs, at least. Combining a sharp eye for colour with a talent for getting beautiful, big-breasted models (and the occasional sex worker) to shine in front of his lens, his website has a fantastic collection of photos that are both artistic and erotic, showcasing one gorgeous babe after another.

Grouse pic’s, hot models, fantastic lighting and the shadows…. Would love to do a shoot with you if there was no ocean between us!

Recomended by  “El Pasadizo”, Museum of Erotic Art – Spain

Hay un fotografo argentino que se destaca por su punto de vista con respecto al desnudo , el cual lo muestra por los diferentes estilos, erotico, glamour, etc pero el que mas me gusto fue el GOTHICO y el DARK, un estilo que supo sacarle provecho.

MARTIN SOTELANO, un fotografo diferente , disfrutenlo.!!!

It should be a maximum of 9 for me, but somehow, I like this pic’s technical weak points. So here is my 10 of the day!

"The New Nude" Photomagazine

 Mit farbenprächtigen Akt- Aufnahmen dokumentiert der argentinische Photograph Martin Sotelano das südländische Lebensgefühl. In Lateinamerika, wo Sinnesfreude und erotische Leidenschaft den Menschen schon in die Wiege gelegt zu sein scheint und in Tänzen wie dem Tango, Salsa oder dem Rumba ihren Ausdruck findet, ist Erotik gelebter Alltag, ohne moralische Scheuklappen und voller Begeisterung für die Schönheit. Martin Sotelano profitiert bei seinen hinreißenden Arbeiten vom honiggelben Sonnenlicht des Südens, daß sich schmeichelnd auf den Körpern seiner Modelle spiegelt und deren Ästhetik zu voller Blüte verhilft.
