Martin is a wonderful photographer to work with for many reasons, one of which is his passion and creativity. Having already worked with him I was delighted when Martin booked me in his home and from start to finish the whole process of arranging the shoot was seamless.

His pre shoot communications were excellent and he explained his vision clearly as well as outfit suggestions on the day. Pair his amazing communication ability with this creativity and you're onto a winner.

When we first shot together Martin was new to model photography but now he's a pro! He's very open to ideas and listened whenever I had any ideas but was equally happy to make decisions.

We captured some fabulous images and worked together to get them. He was polite, professional and super easy to chat to. Conversation easily flowed and he took the time to get to know me.

Martin is one of those photographers that you just know you're going to gel with and we instantly struck gold, meaning each shot was a winner.

The images looked epic and I look forward to seeing his edits! 100% recommended.

Thankyou for a wonderful shoot and see you in Sicily! :D

Had a fab first photoshoot with Martin16 during my recent modelling tour to Bath, at Tim’s apartment while he was hosting me for my recent bath tour.

Prior to shooting pre-communicationa were great and everything was super easy to plan and organise. Martin also gave a brief for the shoot and some ideas of what to bring along. This was super helpful when it came to packing for the tour.

On the day of shooting Martin was so friendly and easy to get along with. During the shoot, we shot some great images in a variety of looks and themes and everything just flowed so well.

110% recommended! Just class. Such a pleasure to shoot with Martin.

I have worked with Martin several times now over the past few months, he had attended a few of my workshops aswell as shooting me one to one at my home.

The latest shoot we had in September, this time I went to Martins house to shoot. Martin kindly picked me up and brought me home afterwards.

He was very kind, courteous and hospitable. We went through a few different sets and changes and The 4 hours flew by. I love working with Martin he is so laid back and easy to get along with. I will look forward to the next one.

Highly recommended by me

Thanks again Martin

I worked with Martin for the third time, this time on a Maternity shoot at my little studio "Heavenly Bodies Studio" and had such a wonderful, relaxed and enjoyable shoot. Martin was extremely respectful and considerate and made sure I was comfortable with plenty of breaks. He is such a kind gentleman, a wonderful conversationalist and fantastic company.

He also arrives with Ferrero Rocher chocolates at each shoot (a man after my heart!)

A wonderful creative soul who I hope to work with lots in the future. Highly recommended to all models and creatives, Helen x

Had a wonderful, enjoyable and productive first shoot with Martin at Heavenly Bodies studio.

Upon meeting, Martin was friendly, welcoming, kind and professional. Once we started shooting, it became apparent that Martin is passionate about his hobby and truly enjoys it.

Despite the challenges of working in a fairly confined space, we made the best of the areas and got creative with angles, light, props and poses, achieving some fantastic shots as a result. Martin took some beautiful shots and was respectful towards me throughout our time together, it was a very productive and enjoyable shoot, we even had a great chat between shots.

I can recommend him without doubt and look forward to working together again.

I have worked with Martin another 2 times since our first one to one shoot, Martin attended 2 of my Natural Light Home Workshops.

Martin is keen to learn different types of lightning and will take on board any advice given to him. Martin is a lovely guy to work with with a great sense of humour.

I would recommend Martin to anyone

Thanks again Martin

I hope to work with you again soon x

I had my first shoot with Martin at Simone's home for a natural light workshop ran by JD Tuition with myself and Simone.

Martin is a lovely guy, very friendly, respectful and great fun to work with. I had a very enjoyable few hours shooting with him.

The images we created look fantastic. I'm really happy with them.

Thank you for a great shoot and I hope we can do it again soon.

Highly Recommended :-)

A second workshop with Martin in attendance cemented my view of him as a gentle, considerate and thoroughly polite chap - the term 'gentleman' comes to mind.

Without a doubt, his general approach will make him a hit with models, and I'm delighted to recommend him even more unreservedly than I did following our last meeting.

Mothy

As Martin and I have a few contacts in common it only seemed natural that we would get together for a shoot. Martin of course arrived on time at the designated location, where we chatted about the shoot ahead and the general sh*t of life before heading up to the ruin location. Martin is quite new to model photography, this was his first shoot with a male model and his first on location.

Martin is a nice guy to chat with and model for, we did a series of sets using the wardrobe and props I had brought working to art nude. From the photos he has sent through I can without doubt give Martin a 100% recommendation.

Timothy

We set up an outdoor shoot with Mothy so Martin could experience shooting with a male model in an outdoor location, both of which were new to him. We were blessed with an overcast day which minimised shadow while we were shooting at the old church. We moved the model around the venue to experience the use of the surroundings with different techniques and the use of natural light, be it back lit in a widow or down low in a basement area.

He is a great learner, listening and applying to improves his photo technique.

Martin is a nice chatty guy and I of course recommend him 100%. I hope we can work together again soon.

Martin came to a workshop that Simone H and I ran at her home.

He proved thoughtful and keen to learn, polite and respectful of the model and others present at all times.

On the strength of the workshop, he's signed up for our session next month - and I'm delighted, because it will be a pleasure to work with him again.

I have no hesitation in recommending him to other models, tutors and studios.

I worked with the lovely Martin again, this time at his beautiful home!

Martin is such a cool, calm and caring gentleman, truly a pleasure to work with.

He is professional, respectful and made me feel so welcome!

Martin had taken the time to set up some beautiful cloth backdrops and had so many beautiful rooms to choose from with gorgeous natural light streaming through.

The home was beautifully presented and a joy to model in. Martin is also a great conversationalist and great company.

The shoot was comfortable, laid back and with plenty of breaks. I really enjoyed myself and hope to work together again in the future!

Highly recommended to all models and creatives.

Thankyou Martin for a wonderful shoot (and for the chocs!) Helen x

Had my 3rd shoot with Martin earlier this week. We had a lovely relaxed shoot Martin had a few ideas he wanted to try and we went with a 30s style themed mixed in with it and went from there. It was great fun, fab conversation as always and easy to get along and work with. Keen to learn new things I look forward to seeing what he produces in future and hope to work with him again.

Always a pleasure. Definitely recommend.

I had my first shoot with Martin at my home last week. What a lovely guy, very warm and friendly and extremely easy to get along with.

We got through a number of different sets and changes and the shoot went along very quickly.

We will be working together again on one of my workshops in May.

Recommended by me.

Thanks for a great shoot Martin, see you soon.🙂

I had my 2nd shoot with Martin this week and again it was an absolute pleasure. Martin is wonderful company a great conversationalist and a joy to work with. Always keen to learn and try out new ideas with lighting and styles.

Pre shoot comm's as before were excellent and he arrived on time, his home studio was set up ready on arrival with a collection of image ideas already in for us to try.

Had a really lovely day working with Martin again and would definitely recommend working with him if you get the chance he's an absolute gent!

I hope to work with him again in future 🙂

I worked with Martin for the first time the other day at my little studio "Heavenly Bodies Studio" and had such a wonderful shoot!

It was our first time working together and I am always a little nervous (even after all of these years!) but from first introductions Martin was fantastic company, very pleasant to talk to and instantly put me at ease. Comms were also professional and respectful.

I believe it was Martins first time working in a photographic studio and so I was determined to try something new and create an impression! :)

We experimented with a range of fashion, art nude, fabrics (movement shots which looked fantastic!) and finished off the photoshoot with the smoke machine which is always great fun!

Despite not being experienced in a photographic studio I absolutely adore Martins film portraits from years gone by; he has a great eye for framing and composition. There is just something so magical and captivating about film! (I hope we get to incorporate this into our next shoot! :) )

Martin kindly bought along a couple of constant lights which were very easy to set up and super useful to incorporate into the shoot!

The shoot was very relaxed with plenty of conversation and wonderful company. Martin takes his time and likes to get to know the model and the person which I found very endearing.

I couldn't have wished to have worked with a nicer person!

I would absolutely love to work together again in the future and can highly recommend to all models and creatives.

Thankyou Martin for a wonderful day! Helen x

Shot with Martin today. He arrived on time eager to shoot. Full introductions were made at the beginning, Martin is a lovely guy made me feel really at ease I knew from the start we were going to get along great.

Pre shoot comms were excellent, and the shoot went smoothly with great communication. The shoot was very laid back, we threw a few ideas back and forth to get the most out of our time. I really enjoyed working with Martin and hope to work with him again in future.
