It’s almost a year since Martine’s 452-page book Photography for Architects was published by Routledge.

It was shortlisted for The Architectural Book Awards 2024 which was a proud moment for both Martine and her editor at Routledge, Fran Ford. Martine is delighted to have made a well-regarded contribution to knowledge in her field.
