Martha Lochert Photography

I’ve been in this a long time. These are from 40 years ago today, when I ran the darkroom for the fabulous Balfour Walker and Chris Mooney Photography. I was in my last semester of college, getting a BFA in photography. I had already gotten my business license the year before and was doing freelance work, while at the university and working for Balf, until I went on my own full-time.
I am fortunate to have studied, worked and trained in the era of film (starting in high school), then continue on into the age of digital photography.
I’m also fortunate to have worked for commercial photographers while studying fine art photography under the instruction of Harold Jones, Judith Golden, James Enyeart and Keith McElroy.
I had the best of both worlds, and continue to love what I do.

It was a super hot and humid day today, but having my personal golf cart driver, Claudia, made it a fun morning on the course for the 27th annual Tee Up For Tots golf tournament at Az. National Golf Course that I donate my time to photograph. Amazingly, there has only been one year where I was already booked and one year when my grand-daughter was born, so I’ve photographed 25 of the 27 years. This tournament raises money for pediatric cancer research and family support services.

I’m sad he has left, but wish former UA College of Engineering Dean David Hahn much success in his new adventure as President Hahn at Boise State University.
I really enjoyed working with him. He was always very kind to me and appreciative of the photography I do for Engineering. It is his nature. He always honored and lifted up staff, faculty and students in the engineering programs at the University of Arizona, and I’m sure he will do the same in Boise.

I love having Western National Parks as one of my clients. This reel uses some of the product photography I’ve done for them.

Started my day at 4 am on site for City of Tucson Environmental Services to do separate group shots of the commercial drivers; brush & bulky staff; supervisors; and residential drivers from up in a scissor lift. It’s weird to be DONE with a job at 6 am!
Thank you, Alyssa Tarpley for the photo of me in action.

Bougainvillea has a head start this spring after a super-mild winter. No waiting for frozen branches to come back this year!

It was hot, but I had a great time photographing the Cologuard Classic with Chris Mooney and Jim Harris for the last three days.
From opening ceremonies; advocate and survivor meetings; golf action; attendee skee-ball fun to support colon cancer survivors; and vendor expos, to lots of love shared in “survival central” and end of play with trophy presentation at closing ceremonies, it was an honor to be entrusted with capturing the moments and memories.
Congratulations to two-time consecutive PGA Tour Champions winner Steve Alker and to the teams at Exact Sciences (who make Cologuard) and Tucson Conquistadores for a very well-run event.

Last week I photographed the UArizona College of Engineering’s ribbon cutting and VIP tours of the Nano Fabrication Center, semiconductor clean room on campus. They received $35.5 million in funding from the Arizona Commerce Authority.
