I’m Martina Magnusson. Welcome to my website! If there is anything I love as much as photography, it’s creating a story—your story—with my photograph. I grew up in the village of Hokon in the southernmost province of Sweden, where I enjoyed long summer nights, short winter days, forests, meadows, and lakes. My tiny village connected me to nature’s beauty. I am a professional photographer who resides in Downers Grove, Illinois. I am a passionate photographer with a specialized niche in Real Estate and Portrait photography. 

Being a Real Estate photographer is a very personal job for me. Each time I step into a new house, or old home, I respect the space I work in because each house is a home, and each home has a story to tell. That story is something I capture through photography. By showcasing the architectural design and pure artistry of a house, I not only capture the story of a home, or the contemporary designs that an architect worked tirelessly to fill, I also help agents market their houses properly by using quality images that capture the viewers’ interests. Attention to detail is key.

Today I live in Chicago’s Western suburbs, where I have met so many different kinds of people. My main goal is to make my clients feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera, so their true story shines through, and they think their picture rightfully represents who they are. That’s the nature of headshot photography! Photographing people enables me to connect with someone when I’m behind the camera, which is what is important to me.

A picture says a thousand words; what do you want to say?
