Martin Schoeller (born March 12, 1968) is a New York-based photographer whose style of "hyper-detailed close ups" is distinguished by similar treatment of all subjects whether they are celebrities or unknown.

Schoeller started his career in Germany,[2] and came to New York in 1993 and worked as an assistant for Annie Leibovitz from 1993 to 1996.

Here he developed his "big head" portrait technique, a term coined by him, of his style of "hyper-detailed close ups", which later gave him worldwide acclaim.

His most recent book "Portraits", published in 2014 by teNeues, features a 15-year retrospective of his environmental portraiture.

He also launched simultaneous exhibitions in Berlin and New York City featuring the work upon release of the book.
