Born in Los Angeles, Armando studied photography, architecture and graphic design. The early ninety’s found him in Colorado where he worked in advertising, design and publishing for the first 10 years.
The last 9 years with his own company Mando-Matic, a retouching and photography studio, has allowed Martinez to concentrate on the photographic image. An award winning photo retouching artist, he crafts photographs into new visions daily. Limitless inspiration is found in the Rocky Mountains but his photography from his foreign travels to Italy and Ireland have recently shown a more varied portfolio including architecture.
