Martin Horspool ventures into public spaces, eagerly observing and waiting for the right opportunity to photograph people as they congregate and go about their day, his subjects unaware of his quiet presence.

He’s consistently on the lookout to capture unique and colourful characters, those that stand out from the crowd.
