This was the first time I've shot with Carsten and it was fantastic.

He really likes to get to know the model and how they move, which then lead to better direction and shots.

He likes to get you out of your comfort zone to use different facial expressions which worked perfectly.

He ensures all lighting is absolutely perfect and gets stunning images.

I would 100% recommend.

Had a fantastic first shoot with Emigrant today, our objective was to create a different style of image to what I already had on my port, and with Emigrant's excellent vision and creativity we achieved this :-)

Emigrant is a really professional and talented photographer, he is great fun to work with, puts you at ease straight away and shows attention to detail.

Would definitely recommend Emigrant to all models and really hope we get to work together again soon :-) xxx

I had an amazing opportunity to take part in one of Carsten's shoots yesterday.

He is a very talented photographer with excellent taste and eye for detail as well as head full of interesting ideas.

I love his work and how professional he is.

It was a real pleasure to work with him.

Shot with this very talented photographer for the first time and it was amazing. Carsten met me part way to an amazing location in Shropshire where,he gave me the best kind of direction on my modeling, he took some awesome pictures which I love, as have had 3 back already from yesterdays shoot! Carsten knows what he wants frome every take which I like and hope I can put into practice. This shoot was very much a learning curve for me and I think I picked the best photographer to help me on my journey. His talent and artistic flare are exemptional ..I hope I get a chance to work with him again. Any model would be honoured to work with Carsten so much patience and very understanding a true gentleman and a great mentor also,with a lovely personality which makes you feel instantly at ease ...Thankyou for the shoot 😊 xx

Had a second wonderful shoot with this fantastic gentleman.

We shot at two locations, one in the hills, the other on the beach. This photographer is very talented both in a studio setting and outdoor natural light. We worked wonderfully as a team and had lots of laughter along the way. I also got to swim in the sea, it was so warm. I hope to have many shoots in the future, highly recommended. Thanks so much Carsten x

Haven't shot with Carsten for some time and today we shot on location in the blazing sun. He chose a special location that you wouldn't just be able to find, you would really have to look and work hard to find it. From what I saw on the back of his camera, he got some amazing photos. He was also early and ready to go, looking after my welfare at all times.

Wow, what can I say!

This has to be one of the best shoots I have ever had.

In just over an hour we created some amazing images.

Carsten is a delight to work with, a real gentleman.

Our rapport was instant, we chatted, laughed and look what we created!

This fantastic photographer is one of the best out there!

I highly recommend and our next shoot is planned.

Thanks so much Carsten, what a brief but amazing shoot we had x

Carsten is a complete professional and knows his craft to perfection. I met him at a fellow photographers homestudio and he was very welcoming and friendly and made sure that he would always get the best out of his models.

Carsten has an eye for good photos and I cannot recommend him nearly enough. I look forward to working with him again.

Regards

It's obvious that Carsten is a talented photographer add to that he's a real hoot too! His humour is brilliant and he gets the best out of every pose you do, working effortlessly to get great angles.

If you're new to modelling and you want impressive shots he's perfect, if you know what you're doing he is also perfect. All round winner.

Highly recommended from me.

Neena!

A joint shoot with Carsten, taking pictures of Nee Naa on location and at his place.

Carsten is, perhaps, the most organised and focussed photographer I have met. He wears technical excellence and absolute command of his equipment lightly - never making heavy weather of things, just shooting rapidly and effectively.

The results are stunning, and contrasted massively with my approach of using numerous cameras and lenses. If you thought a 50mm lens on full frame was bland or boring, you should see what this bloke does with one...

Added to that, he comunicates wonderfully with his model - softly-spoken, clear, and with gentle good humour.

All this, and creativity too. If he'll shoot you, do it!

Met Carsten for our first shoot after a long discussion on here regards ideas locations etc.

When we met, he took us to a fantastic location, he is very professional and as the images show is an excellent photographer, his eye for a shot are second to none.

He is really friendly, and it was good to speak in my mother tongue again after so long

We will be shooting again, I just hope it's soon as he is a real pleasure to get creative with!

Thank you Carsten, looking forward to the next one.
