Martin Robertson, known professionally as Tumph, is a commercial director and photographer working across automotive, fashion, travel, and luxury lifestyle. Based in Orange County, California, he creates campaign focused imagery that blends performance culture, modern luxury, and authentic brand storytelling for global advertising, digital platforms, and print.

His work sits at the intersection of culture, design, and movement. While automotive remains a core pillar, his visual language extends naturally into fashion, travel, and elevated lifestyle. Each project is approached with the understanding that the imagery must perform across multiple platforms and environments, from social campaigns to large scale placements.

Martin works closely with brands that value authentic storytelling and real world context rather than overly manufactured visuals. By integrating modern tools, including AI driven creative workflows and post production techniques, he expands what a production can achieve while maintaining a grounded, human feel that audiences connect with.

Before photography, Martin spent more than 25 years as a professional snowboarder, traveling and competing internationally. Years spent living on the road shaped his instinct for light, timing, and environment. That experience continues to influence his visual approach today. Even still imagery carries motion, intention, and a strong sense of place.

Martin brings a deep understanding of agency workflow and commercial production, having worked both independently and within agency environments. He collaborates comfortably with creative directors, producers, and full crews, and is known for a calm, focused presence on set from pre production through final delivery. His process values clarity, efficiency, and a highly considered approach to post production.

His work has been commissioned by global automotive and lifestyle brands including Aston Martin, Mercedes, Ferrari, Lotus, Maserati, Audi, Genesis, Hugo Boss, Rolex, and Sony. His imagery has appeared in publications including Vogue, GQ, Elle, MotorTrend, and The Wall Street Journal, along with large scale out of home placements such as Times Square billboards.

Martin partners selectively with brands and agencies that value thoughtful execution, strong visual identity, and work built to live well beyond a single campaign.
