In 2001, Marty was asked to write a book by Amherst Publishing Company.  He could have just sent in some images with diagrams but chose instead to make it more of a textbook on the "Hows" and "Whys" with his writing.  His book, The Art of Bridal Photography, has been read and reviewed through out the world.  Even though film was the medium of capture in the early 2000's, all of the tips, lighting, posing and style apply today in the digital world of capture.  He still employs the same metering system, lighting and ratios of lighting that he did when he authored this book.  Students in the Paier College of Art, of Hamden, CT and The Hallmark Institute of Photography in Turners Falls, MA have used this book in many of their classes. The Art of Bridal Photography, now in its second printing can be applied to all types of photography even though brides are featured.

Stella and Marty's very good friends, Chris & Pat Beltrami both Masters of Photography, Craftsman and Fellows of the ASP volunteered to write the forward of his book.  We were very honored by their comments.

The following is a page from his text regarding a lighting diagram as well as explaining what each light is meant to do.
