In 1/1,000^th of a second, a photograph captures and preserves forever a moment in time. Whether a monumental event of historic importance or just the way a certain ray of light glances across a child’s forehead, the photograph objectifies time. Now it can be revisited, re-​lived perhaps. We can carry time with us on a piece of paper, in a book or in any of hundreds of electronic devices and share that moment– EXACTLY as it happened– with someone who wasn’t there. Photography is the vehicle by which we can share our moments across spans of both time and great distance.

But first, someone has to take the picture…

History

Established in 2010.

Husband & wife partners in life, business and beyond. Joe has over 25 years experience in photography and film development (in the early days). Dia’s camera experience began in a television studio in 1999 and has evolved over the years. She and Joe are equally talented photographers and editors. Dia has a natural eye for

posing clients and intuitively knows how to achieve natural, comfortable and un-​posed looking results. Joe knows the technical side of the cameras like the back of his hand and can make any situation work regardless of tough angles and not-​so-​optimal lighting. Together they are the consummate photography team. Having two professional photographers at the helm of this company provides clients with a unique experience and an array of services. From family portraits, event coverage and weddings to landscapes, commercial photography and stock, ChapterNEXT covers the gamut.

Meet the Business Owner

Joe and Dia M.

Business Owner

Born in Asheville, NC & raised near Atlanta, GA, Dia spent her early years in the great outdoors. After the loss of her oldest brother in 1990, she began using the arts as a way to express herself and find comfort. Dia went on to major in theatre and shortly thereafter she began her career in TV as a camera operator at ABC affiliate WLOS News 13. She became the lead Chyron graphics operator for the evening news. When she moved out west she went to work in Radio. However, her passion for being behind the camera didn’t fade.

Joseph Martori, AKA «Joe» is a 25 year veteran of the American Corporate Ladder. He spent 20 of those years in the Resort Development industry as Chief Sales and Marketing Officer for a publicly traded company based in his hometown of Phoenix, Arizona. He also served on its Board. Joe is now a fugitive from his past corporate life and is living in Phoenix under a new identity as a Professional Photographer. The two eloped in 2010 and have one son.
