Lovely first shoot with Martin in his home! Very welcoming and laid back, Martin works incredibly quickly and produces beautiful images.

He is very professional and knows what he wants. We worked to create specific poses while playing around with ones that would show off my body type.

We only shot yesterday but he has already produced some stunning edits! Highly recommended from me and hope to shoot again 🙂

Another fabulous shoot with Martin - always have a lovely relaxed atmosphere with wonderful results.

Martin is extremely fast at producing top quality images - love what we got and his new studio extension is beautiful in terms of light

Thank you for another great shoot and beautiful photos

Shots were cultivated rapidly by Martin in his home-studio without draining too much out of each look which kept the shoot flowing, refreshing and zesty.

When he's got what he wants, he's done! No faff. And the results are magic!

Mart also has the most beautiful, affectionate little dog Harry that loves attention inbetween shots, and during, which is an added highlight.

Would absolutely shoot again

After many attempts of trying to shoot together, we finally managed to book a shoot together!

I absolutely loved working with Martin, he’s so easy to talk, he knows what his doing and the images that he takes are just breathtaking!

He made me feel comfortable and very confident, which I think is was made those images look soooo good. I’m going to have a hard time picking my favourite shots haha

I would definitely recommend Martin to any model and I’m really looking forward to working with him again :)

Martin is absolutely master of the photography. It was so amazing pleasure, fun and joy to shoot with him and watch him to produce a magic using the lighting, props and a lovely space in his stylish appartment. He is also very warm, friendly, respectful, pleasant and kind person and made me feel very welcome. He made sure I was hydrated and he was also very helpful and polite.

I felt great excitement looking at the images we created at the back of his camera and I can't wait for the edits.

Thank you Martin and so much looking forward to our future shoots!😘😀

I really feel very lucky to have shot with Martin. What a kind and warm person he is. I felt instantly like I had known him for years, we just seemed to click which is always really special.

This photographer is clearly extremely talented and I just felt extremely lucky to have finally got to shoot with him after admiring his work from a far.

His direction of the model is so so good - he has obviously got the experience to know exactly what position to stand the model in to make the most of the models form. I found this direction invaluable and I learnt so so much from the shoot and have taken away a lot from it too - for me this is a sign of a great shoot.

Throughout the shoot Martin was so thoughtful about my needs, he even gave me a lovely bagel for my journey.

I hope so much to get to shoot with Martin again and he comes 100 percent recommended by me.

This was my second shoot with Martin, I’m not the most confident model but Martin knows exactly how to make me feel at ease, he’s welcoming and caring, he is extremely patient with explaining poses and use of the camera and light, he’s open to ideas and is very respectful.

Both times we shot I came away with an absolute buzz and the pictures are just wow!

I would highly recommend Martin!

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Martin this month! And WOW!...

Martins ideas and style is very similar to what I love to shoot. His eye for detail and creativity is brilliant. We shot in his home which provided a brilliant location for our shoot (A very photogenic house) for 3 hours covering fashion to tasteful lingerie. Pre comms before the shoot were great and I knew exactly what to expect on the day. I was treated with the most respect and felt comfortable before, during and after our shoot. I was kindly picked up and dropped back at the train station. I’ve already had a preview of the images and they are some of my favourite work to date. A very relaxed shoot which produced AMAZING images.

Martin is very enthusiastic to create beautiful images which I think is clear by his portfolio. I enjoyed every second of the shoot and would certainly recommend him to all. I look forward to working together again in the future! :)

What a lovely shoot! Super easy but gorgeous results, so excited to see the edits. Martin was a wizard with finding the photogenic spots in my home, and the gorgeous light! He’s a really lovely man and such a good photographer! Must work with him :)

Chesca Ferrari

After reading Martin’s references on here I expected to be in excellent hands but didn’t quite expect the absolutely spectacular efficiency with which he works, whilst producing incredible shots! Martin was an absolute pleasure to work with, is great with direction and a master of the editing suite! Can’t wait to see the rest of the shots and get our next shoot booked in! I would recommend Martin without hesitation!

I've been trying to arrange a shoot with Martin for ages, and today we both had some free time so we could get together at his house. Martin is very professional and works quickly, he is also very happy to pass on tips. In two hours we managed to shoot 6 sets and after each one, Martin showed me the results in the back of the camera, to make sure I was happy. After the shoot Martin started on editing and let me watch, which was great as I could see the processes he goes through in order to create a fantastic final image. He's great and I would love to work with him again. Thanks for a wonderful afternoon.

Second time of work with Martin and defiantly not the last. Martin put me forward for a one to one session he had booked with another photographer thankfully and I was chosen, which meant I got to work with Martin again.

Straight away tests shots at the back of the camera brilliant. Martin is a fantastic photographer for of knowledge and personality! I am also happy with the shots and can't wait to see the edits.

The best part is the way Martin explained about lighting I like to think I learnt somethings myself. Martin always makes you feel very welcome and makes a fabulous tea on top of being a great photographer!

Always recommended! Bring on our next shoot!

Samster

Martin very kindly offered to provide an hour of his time to help me learn some editing skills he has gained over the years. Things that as a editing novice that you dont really think of started to make sense. He was polite and proactive in arranging the call. I would definately recommend him as tutor. Thanks again Martin

I have shot with Martin many times now and all I can say is wow. If you're after great photos for your portfolio, then this is the photographer to shoot with.

Not only is he an experienced professional behind the camera, he is also a pro when it comes to editing too.

I've also been fortunate to have seen his other photography work, outside of Purpleport - simply stunning.

Talented professional through and through.

It's always a pleasure to shoot with him and I'm looking forward to the next one already.

Book your shoot with this talented man, you won't regret it.

Thank you again Martin!

Had my first shoot with Martin today, and it was an absolute joy.

Not only is Martin a experienced professional, he is also an absolute gent, great host and fantastic company.

Martin has a stunning home studio, and I was even lucky enough to have some wardrobe options.

Martin communicated well, shot at a great pace, and kept me fuelled with plenty of tea (thank you).

I love what I saw on the back of the camera, Martin has a gorgeous, timeless style, and i thoroughly enjoyed working together.

From what I have seen of his work, his editing is also perfectly done.

Could go on and on about this shoot, I have so many positives to shout about!

Highly recommended by me! 11/10 :-)

Thanks so much for having me.

Hope to be back soon.

And massive hug for Harry the dog :-)

Great first shoot with Martin today. Admittedly I don't shoot very often so was a little hesitant at first but Martin immediately made me feel at ease. Loved the mood board sent pre shoot plus great communications. Martin is a no nonsense photographer who thinks methodically and takes few but great pics. He knows how to work with the light, and I loved seeing the end result plus post editing. Thank you again for a great afternoon and the doggie cuddles with Harry :)

I am so happy with my shoot with talented Martin.It was a fantastic experience for me to shoot with such a professional photographer.Everything went very well, pre-communication was great,and Martin sent me his mood board beforethe shoot,which I liked very much. Martin met me at the station on time ,I even arrived earlier, so it was very nice of him to start to shoot a bit earlier.

Martin has a nice location to shoot in, he needs only a few clicks and here he has amazing photos and Martin doesn't need to take many photos as he is precisely good from first attempts. So his photography skills are impressive and I really enjoyed our shoot. Martin is a polite and an easy-going photographer, I enjoyed his company and he made me feel good and comfortable.

Martin shoots without any rush ,and he is very quick with the editing,I do like our first edited photo.I have already seen that our photos are great straight of the camera,that's impressive. Thanks a lot Martin 🙏

Highly recommended to shoot with,100%

I had my third shoot with Martin today at his home. Shooting with Martin is always such a lovely experience, I always feel relaxed and inspired and it shows in the images.

Martin works so efficiently and provides excellent direction. I can’t wait until our next shoot, a very talented photographer and a kind and considerate person. Highly recommended of course, definitely work with Martin!

Kinga Karolina

Martin is such an amazing person. He is a proffesionalist. Our shoot has been done in Martin's studio. He was prepared well to work with me. It was a please having the opportunity to shoot with an inredible artist. I can't wait to see more results of our work.

I wish all of the models to have an opportunity to collaborate with M. ♥

Martin and I spoke about a shoot a few years or so back and finally we managed to get some time together and make it happen and it was definitely worth the wait.

I found Martin to be welcoming and a great host, he even provided lunch. I enjoyed his way of working as he appears to prefer quality over quantity which suits me fine.

His photos speak for themselves, this man knows how to work the light and the camera! What I found refreshing was that, he is one of very few...very very few...photographers who listened and asked how you like to have your photos edited. Yes, Martin has his style that you recognise but I respected that he saw you the model, as a client too within the collaboration, and wanted to make sure you were 100% happy with how the photos would be edited. Even better, I had 2 photos edited and sent to me before I even left!

If you have the opportunity to work with Martin, go for it! I do hope I get the opportunity again 🙂
