Architecture, urban and underground pro Martina Govindraj has an uncomplicated approach to imagery.

“I favour clean lines, empty spaces and simplicity. Real life is hectic enough, which is why I look to produce images that aren’t busy,” she says. Martina is a self-taught photographer, but has always been drawn to visually pleasing design, from furniture to tall buildings. “I usually have an idea of an area or place that I want to explore, then hand over navigation and let my intuition lead the way. I try to capture moments in time that can’t be replicated.”
