After working as a photographer in England, Martland moved to the United States in 2007. One of his friends was quoted as saying, “He is a great example of a daredevil Brit living the American dream -- and getting some really impressive results in the process.”

The Statue of Liberty was not in the top 10 U.S. buildings struck by lightning in 2023, but it does get hit by lightning multiple times each year.
