Martin Suvarina | Skybeam | PhotographerMartin Suvarina was born in August 1987 in Prague, Czech republic. His passion to photos started to grow up since he was a child, but one thing he didn’t know, that his professional career is going to start in the end of the year 2005.Over the past few years, Martin has crossed the globe on an almost constant basis. From Russia to Canary Islands, Greece or The Nederlands. Along with taking pictures in his hometown (Prague), Martin was also found in Switzerland this summer shooting at Streetparade, where he has returned to back from the previous year, as well as to Trance Energy to the Nederlands, A State of Trance, Sensation White and the list goes on.His very special style of photos noticed one of the best czech agencys – United Music Events - in the summer of 2007, when he created a series of briliant photos of Sensation White in Prague. Wanting to give the viewers the feeling of being part of the party via his photos, Martin purchased a brand new camera Nikon D3, which is able to take pictures up to incredible ISO 25600. The mission was to bring the atmosphere of parties to those who couldn’t be there and add to the experience of those who were. And it worked.Since that time, Martin has been discovering a mount of photo segments and styles of taking pictures, through which has been working on to be more advanced and more extended. At the beginning of 2008, Martin discovered new and absolutely unique techniques of photo adjustment and since that time he started working on to be better and better in every possible way with a view to technical perfection, watching out the content of the photos itself.Through all those years Martin colaborated with many companies, such like AXE, Beefeter, COTY, Denny Rose, Ferrero, Mediaflow, GSMA, Havana Club, Jan Becher, Johnson & Johnson, Malibu, Red Bull, STORM, TV Ocko , VANDIT, Vodafone, or also Czech Dance Music Awards, Alpe Adria Cup 2008.. The list goes on again.Since the time, Martin is consistently working with the biggest czech musical media Techno.cz, already mentioned agency United Music Events, or as well agency m-Ocean. Recently, Martin have started colaboration also with VANDIT agency, which is a representing agency of Paul van Dyk, or Giuseppe Ottaviani.Mentioning this artists, his photos have been using a lot of world DJs and producres, such as Ferry Corsten, Markus Schulz, Giuseppe Ottaviani, ATB, Kyau & Albert, Lady Waks, LaydeeJane and many many more. The exception ain't even the worlds best DJ and producer, Paul van Dyk himself.
However, it's not only music artists who's been using his photos, there are also the larger corporations we have mentioned before, czech agencys, music clubs and promoters of the parties itself, that present their work via Martins photos.You've might seen Martins pictures also from magazines XMAG, Think, or MAXIMBy the time, Martin thrives on the inspiration he finds in his two bases – czech hall events and foreign hall events – and gigs everywhere in between (for example czech clubs Fabric, or Fleda). “I can't do one without the other – shooting the atmosphere in those clubs makes me excited and gives me ideas for delegating each aspect to a hall event photo. When I’m at the club, I can’t wait to try some angles and lighting methods in front of the huge crowds and make out something special for the artists as well. What I like on this as most of all is when I get a chance to see how people react to my work, when I get response from the people back, how do they like it and what should I improve""When I grew up, watching the photos had a huge influence on me, and made me who I am, so when I make my own shots I do it with the viewer in mind and try and recreate that one on one feeling I’ve always had. It’s something that gets you through hard times, it‘s a soundtrack of good times and it touches you in a unique way, when you get a positive feedback from those who like what you’re doing and from those, who are saying me to keep doing it."In the end of year 2009, Martin has purchased brand new camera again - Nikon D3S, which is able to make possible in impossible moments due to it's sensitivity, which is completely mind-blowing 102 400 ISO.
Now he is reaching for Hasselblad H3DII, which is his next stop with another ways of taking photos, not just the party ones, but also fashion photos and commercial advertisement.2010 is set to bring more photos to (also from) countries, where he hasn’t been yet, like from Australia, as well as The United Kingdom or North America.
With no plans for slowing down anytime soon, Martin just might meet the world after all.If you have an interest, want to see some of his previous work, or just want to leave him a message, please feel free to contact us at
