I had a great first shoot with Martin in his home. He is a lovely, hospitable easy going guy who made me feel very comfortable.

The focus of our shoot was obviously to get some great shots, (we definitely did that!), but also for me to learn more about posing. Martin took care to give me direction and feedback, often showing me the results of different poses on the back of the camera so I could see how small changes in body shape translated in a still image. He also talked a lot about different lighting and its effect on my images.

I had a fun and educational couple of hours and am looking forward to seeing more edited shots as the unedited ones already look amazing. I would highly recommend Martin for a shoot. His pre communication was also spot an and he was was well prepared for our shoot.

Thank you Martin

The shoot flowed well and we got some great images. Very highly recommended. Thank you for a wonderful shoot!

Just returned home after a superb Shoot with Martin at his home.

I’ve admired Martins work for a while and shooting with him today really didn’t disappoint I had been looking forward to this for such a long time.

Pre comms were were spot on Martin was very welcoming we sat had a cuppa and discussed ideas we were 💯 on the same page :)

We shot 7 sets in total nailing every set from what I have already seen I’m absolutely thrilled and it’s going to be hard to choose the shots as every single one was awesome.

Martin edited a couple and wow I’m completely blown away with the results and looking forward to sharing them.

Martin is a really lovely guy and I would absolutely love to work with him again.

I highly recommend Martin 110% thank you for a lovely day one smiley Jade :)

Martin was my first photographer that talked about PP and my potential. Thank you so much as i listened to you .

I enjoyed seeing Martins vision , as the day went on. he has a wonderful wardrobe, to change up your style.. I really look forward to co creating many more shoots in the near future. blessings

Martin responded to a casting I posted for some urban shots and I immediately responded as his work is very high quality and the style was on par regarding the concept I had in mind. Comms were super easy, he turned up on time and we made the most out of a two hour photoshoot despite 1) the light not being on our side and 2) his 3 broken ribs. He is very easy to work with, knows how to combine artificial and day light, technically very savvy and over all a friendly guy. Images came out great and they were just what I needed. He gave me some modelling tips which were really appreciated and on top of it delivered the images on the next day.

What else can a girl ask for? :-)

Thanks Martin for the great images. S

This guy is way too humble for the standard of his work. Martin is also one of the loveliest photographers I’ve had the pleasure of working with and we could have sat talking all day! Thankfully he lives up the road so I can talk his ear off any time I like 😆.

I was nieve to the calibre of photographer be was and was fascinated to hear about his published work. He is so proud of his work and I love that. He has such amazing stories.

Martin is more than respectful and I felt so safe and comfortable around him at his home.

I can’t not mention his lovely little doggy 🤩💙

Thank you for thinking I’m good enough to shoot with you Martin. I am honoured x

Martin was brilliant to work with! His pre shoot coms were great I knew he would be a total professional from the moment go and was not disappointed.

Having seen one edited shot already and absolutely love it. Martin was welcoming and nice and chatty put me at ease straight away. I loved the way we went through different ideas before we got started so we were both on the same page and was lucky enough to see the first edit which I thought was great and a pleasure to be allowed input. Offering total service in my opinion.

I could not recommend Martin enough especially if you're in need of getting some great new images on your portfolio. 110% recommended

Today I had the pleasure of my first shoot with Martin. As soon as I arrived I felt at ease, Martin is friendly, relaxed and a true professional.

Martin’s pre shoot communication was great and he explained exactly what he wanted to achieve from our shoot and when I arrived we had a good chat and made a plan.

Martin made sure I was comfortable the entire time and he also makes great cups of coffee! His work is wonderful and he is extremely knowledgable and experienced, I wouldn’t hesitate to work with Martin again. I Highly recommend and hope to work together again in the future. I cannot wait to see some of the finished images.

Thank you for a great shoot Martin :)

Wow…just wow. This is not a case of “all the gear, no idea” no, no…Martin really knows his way around his VERY smart camera. Happy to give direction and embraces ideas openly. Super easy to get along with…I could loose a day chatting all day long with Martin. Efficient, prompt, friendly, professional, talented and all round great human being. This shoot will most definitely not be our last and I very much look forward to shooting again soon.

Today, I had the immense pleasure of working with Martin, whose work I had admired for a long time. Finally my day arrived for the "Spartacus Treatment".

Brilliant pre comms and a warm welcome.

Straight to business and we worked at a good clip, all thanks to the expertise of Martin and knowing his light, space, subject and styles that could be achieved in his wonderful home. 2 hours and several sets in the bag all credit to his talent and knowing exactly what works.

It is clear that he is a polished professional, and passed on so much advice and Information. He spoke so passionately for his craft in a way that made his teaching accessible and encouraging. I was even treated to a BTS look at how he works in post edit and we achieved 2 completed edits in several finshes before I even finished my lovely coffee (of which he is also a dab hand at making and serving!) And headed home.

Thankyou for a wonderful session. Absolutely recommend 100%

Absolutely loved my shoot with Martin - Martin is a pure professional and amazing at what he does, the images speak for themselves, wow! Martin has a wealth of knowledge and experience. He made me feel relaxed, comfortable and at ease from the moment I stepped through the door. We shot at his lovely home studio. Martin really took the time to help me perfect my poses, he gave amazing direction and guided me throughout. Had a really fun shoot - I cannot believe that's me in the pictures Martin captured...they are STUNNING! Highly recommend

Hard to say something that hasn’t been said already about Martin only to confirm once again how great he is and that he is a top class photographer! Professional and AMAZING in his work. I have never approached a photographer before but his work speaks for itself so I asked Martin for us to work together. I was thrilled that Martin accepted and from there it was really easy to organise the shoot. Martin’s communication was excellent, everything was planned beautifully and the day went incredible. Images looks stunning and we even visited some great locations. It was a real pleasure to work with him and I would most definitely recommend him. Thank you for everything Martin and I hope we work again in the future. Very best wishes, Elena

Thank you so much Martin :)

I worked with martin today and really enjoy the shoot. We walked around an area of London and found some great places to shoot. Martin really listened to what I wanted to get from the shot. I am excited to see the final pics. Thanks for a great shoot :) would recommend

Shooting with Martin is so much more than photos, it's knowledge and experience. Not only did I learn so much from Martin but the images speak for themselves. Can't wait to shoot again, definitely recommend.

I have lost count of the amount of times I have shot with Martin, from his home to locations, me with my little one, he has been amazing every time. We both have lots of ideas & seem to capture 'the image' in a few clicks. Martin is extremely talented & always gives me advice & tips on posing etc.

But not only is he great at what he does I would class him as one of my friends he's easy to get on with & talk too. Highly recommended. Cant wait till we can shoot again Martin - hint hint :)
