Martin “Greñas” Perez is a Los Angeles-area photographer known for documenting skateboarding, street culture, and everyday life with an unpolished, observational eye. Working under the Instagram handle @martinp._.erez, he has built a body of work around real people, movement, and moments that feel lived-in rather than staged.
His photography is closely connected to Southern California skate culture. Martin frequently photographs skaters, local events, and street sessions, capturing both the action and the quieter details around it — the people, environments, and community that give the scene its character.
That documentary approach also carries into his broader street photography. Rather than chasing overly polished images, Martin’s work leans into immediacy, personality, and atmosphere, preserving moments that might otherwise pass unnoticed.
His photography has also been collected in “Photo Ghetto,” a published photo book that brings together his visual perspective in print. The project reflects the same interest that runs through his online work: documenting culture from inside the spaces where it actually happens.
Martin describes himself with characteristic understatement as a “Half-Decent Photographer,” but the humor sits alongside a clear commitment to documenting the people and scenes around him. His work is ultimately about presence — being there, paying attention, and turning ordinary moments into a record of a community in motion.
