Ecce!

Martin booked me for a half day shoot while I was on tour in Oxfordshire. Martin came well-equipped for the shoot and was friendly and pleasant to talk to. He asked for my input as well as gave direction and we achieved some lovely images. I recommend Martin and would happily work with him again :)

I had a fabulous shoot with Martin last month on day 3 of my 17 day tour!

Martin applied to my last minute casting and I am super glad he did. We had a great five hours working our way through loads of ideas, talking about all sorts, eating crisps and well...spending a lot of it laughing!!

The images looked great- even the headshot I took of Martin did too! Hahaha!

I really did have a blast and can't wait to see the results go up and work with Martin again one day. Thank you very much! :)

I worked with Martin for the first time the other day at the amazing Natural Light Spaces studio during my tour and had SUCH a lovely shoot! I was a little nervous as it was not only my first shoot with Martin (and he had kindly booked 5 hours of my studio day!) but it was also my first time working at the studio!

However I needn't have been nervous as Martin was so down to earth, kind, respectful and welcoming. He was a complete gentleman, always making sure I was warm, fed and watered! And he bought along some healthy snacks (and chocolate!) to the shoot which was so kind and thoughtful.

I loved Martins shooting style which was in bursts with plenty of breaks in between- it was such fun! Martin is such a personality, with a very endearing mischievous side and a warm, slightly nutty personality! So we got on very well and I think I laughed for most of the shoot! :) Martin is a retired GP and its very clear to see that he has a fantastic warm personality that puts you instantly at ease.

I can highly recommend any model or creative to work with Martin and really hope we get the chance to work together again in the future. Thankyou for a lovely day! Helen x

I enjoyed working with Martin at his home studio. He was friendly, chatty and polite.

He had some good ideas for images and they were looking great on the back of the camera I'm looking forward to seeing the final results !

I hope to work with him again soon

Totally loved working with Martin at my Studio Day at Paul's Studio in Reading last Friday.

Martin arrived early fuelled with enthusiasm, making for a great start to our shoot together, we worked through some great sets of portraits, fashion, and art nude.

Although we spent most of the shoot working on art nude (most likely my fault hehe!), Martin kept every set fresh with a brand new lighting set up, totally changing from pose to pose, he also brought his laptop so we'd be able to see how the light was looking and decide what we could do for the next set.

Martin was very chatty throughout the shoot, we exchanged stories throughout our time together, he's very friendly and made sure I was comfortable at all times and to be sure to keep warm in between sets, Martin is incredibly thoughtful, and I had so much fun on our shoot.

Highly recommended by me and I can't wait for another mad shoot :)

Had my second shoot with Martin today and again Martin was on top form - chatty, funny, friendly, considerate and very professional. We worked through various different setups and the results were beautiful. Martin is easy to be around and made sure I was well looked after (thanks Martin) - definitely recommended.

Wow what a really great shoot! Martin had booked me on my studio day at Studio Fifty Eight and I had a really great time. Pre shoot comms were exceptional, sharing ideas about what we wanted to achieve. He arrived on time and we clicked straight away. During the shoot I felt at ease, we chatted throughout and had a good giggle! He was a gentleman throughout and being really kind and passing me my dressing gown in between shots and making sure I was okay during shooting. Martin is a joy to work with and I really hope we get a chance to work together again in the future. Thanks Martin!

I met with Martin for a shoot today. He had a clear idea of what he wanted to achieve- fitness style, with lighting to highlight muscle definition - demonstrating great pre-shoot comms.

Martin arrived early, with all the necessary equipment. He was friendly, talkative, and extremely thoughtful.... very concerned about my well-being in the cold weather.

I would highly recommend Martin to other models, as a safe and respectful photographer to work with.

Thank you Martin for a great shoot.

Kind regards,

Isla

I had the absolute pleasure of modelling for Martin earlier this week!

I was touring in the Swindon area without any means of transport. Martin kindly collected me from the house I was staying, and even brought me to the bus station after the shoot so I could catch the coach back to London. :-)

We had a really productive and fun shoot; working from clothed portraits to nude. He is an absolute gentleman and I highly recommend him to all models! Thank you Martin.

I had my first shoot with Martin today and hope it's not the last. We arranged a shoot very last minute but Martin was prompt at replying, clear and detailed and was also able to be flexible with great consideration to me. On the day Martin was lovely - funny, chatty, considerate and gave easy to follow direction where necessary. I was staying at my mums in Southampton where we met and he very kindly brought some flowers over as a nice gesture. The photos I saw were really great, I can't wait to see them processed. I would definitely recommend, thanks Martin
