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.

Martin was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. He recently reached out for a tuition with Team Black and was very attentive the entire time.

His pre shoot communications were excellent and well thought out which helped us to execute his plans effectively. Martin was polite and professional from the beginning and wasn't afraid to ask questions throughout.

He was very prepared and shared his background in photography. It's so refreshing to see how he enjoyed to work and it really was a pleasure to work with him. I'd definitely work with him again I look forward to seeing his future work!

Martin reached out to us for tuition and advice on model etiquette. From his initial email onwards, we knew it was going to be a great shoot.

Martin's pree shoot communications were excellent, giving us an idea of what he hoped to achieve ahead of the shoot, as well as sharing his previous accomplishments.

During the shoot Martin was very attentive and didn't hesitate to ask questions throughout. He was polite and professional and worked hard to achieve the results we knew he could.

We'd happily work with Martin again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

Thankyou for a fab shoot!

Team Black :)

Martin approached me through my website where he expressed interest in a tuition with myself and Angel Black and I'm so glad he did! I was very impressed with Martin's eagerness from the beginning and that carried on through the whole of the shoot.

He'd explained what he hoped to achieve and then we execute a plan to help him do so. Martin was kind and professional, really showing his desire to learn all he could about model photography.

He took on board what I suggested and happily asked questions throughout. His previous encounters with photography helped to depend his knowledge and it was clear he knew what he wanted out of photography.

I'd highly recommend Martin and look forward to seeing the final edits.

Thankyou for a great shoot.
