About Alexandra Martinez

Alexandra Martinez, wildlife and horse photographer in the Camargue

My approach is simple: respect the rhythm of nature and allow each image to develop through patience, light and observation.

Alexandra MartinezWildlife and equine photographer, Camargue

My name is Alexandra Martinez. I am a German wildlife and equine photographer based in the Camargue in southern France.

My connection to animals and photography began early in my childhood. I grew up in the Eifel region of Germany, and animals have always been part of my life. That is where I learned to be patient and to look closely.

Several years ago I came to the Camargue for the first time. I fell in love with it straight away: the light, the white horses, the many birds, the traditions and the people here.

Since then the Camargue has become both my home and the center of my photographic work.

Alongside equine photography, I created Camargue Photo Hides by Alexandra Martinez. With it, I take photographers into private wetlands where the animals are left in peace and you can still get really close.

In addition to photography, I have trained as a hunter and falconer. This helps me understand the behaviour of wildlife, especially birds of prey, much better.

I feel fortunate to live and work in this landscape and to share it with photographers who come here to experience the wildlife of the Camargue.

Since 2024 I have been an official ambassador for Mr.JanGear, a European brand producing professional equipment for wildlife photographers.

I look forward to welcoming you to the Camargue.
