I had my first shoot with Martin and I throughly enjoyed it. Martin had some wonderful creative ideas and we worked to achieving them, he has an artistic outlook to his work which brings a difference.

Martin and I had lots to talk about, he is easy going, fun to work with and professional and has a real passion for photography.

I throughly recommend working with Martin.

Thank you Martin for a lovely shoot I will look forward to working with you again in the future.

Many thanks x

This was my first shoot with a Martin and I certainly hope it’s not the last! What a great shoot!!

Martin had an idea to work on which was weird and wonderful; exactly what I love!! We got creative straight away and bounced ideas off each other, it was perfect! Martin is an absolute gentleman and a good laugh. We had lots of fun whilst shooting.

Thank you Martin for a great first shoot. I look forward to working with you again soon

Very highly recommend from me

I had a brilliant shoot with Martin. His ideas are very unique and I loved doing something a bit different. He's a true artist and takes his time working out the perfect image. He's also friendly and relaxing to work with. I highly recommend.

Met up with Martin for our first shoot at my house yesterday.

We quickly both realised we like anything weird and wonderful and had such a laugh throughout our shoot.

We shot lots of different looks ranging from lady of the manor to androgynous Ronnie Kray vibes !

He really was a delight to work with and my doggy Bubba Ru thought so too 🐶

He got her approval instantly bringing her a bag of treats 🤣

If you get the chance to work with Martin you'd be bonkers to pass it up !

Thoroughly enjoyed working with him and would love to shoot with him again in future.

Had a great shoot with Martin today!

We discussed the concept of the shoot which was ‘Sensual Passion and Sexuality Without Nudity’ before the shoot was confirmed. This appealed to me greatly and I was super excited to shoot with Martin at his lovely home.

I arrived a few minutes before the shoot and Martin met me outside and very welcoming. I met his lovely wife too.

The shoot was definitely fun and very creative! Martin likes attention to detail and provided direction when needed!

Overall. I loved the whole experience and I can’t wait to see the end result!

Thank you Martin 😊

Had another great shoot with Martin. A few ideas were discussed before hand but we also improvised and thought of a great variety of shots together. Time just flew by and the shoot was fun and relaxed. Already thinking of more ideas for the next time.

Had a very unusual shoot with Martin. This photographer is an absolute professional who works with emotions and can produce some amazing live pictures by talking with the model. He is such an interesting experienced creator! It was such a delight to work with you!

Look forward for our next shoot together.

Fabulous fun shoot with Martin! Very different session, I certainly took a lot away from it and we had some wonderful images come from it also. Martin is interesting and holds good conversation put me at ease as someone still new to modelling myself. Would highly recommend.

I had my first shoot with Martin last week and I had a really fun and different session with him. Very interesting and chatty man to talk to, which made for a relaxed shoot. Looked like we got some great images from what I saw and I can't wait to see them. I would recommend this photographer to any model I felt like I had known him for ages and felt very safe in his capable hands.

It was such an honour to shoot with Martin Billings, a exceptionally talented published photographer. Martins' concept was unique and interesting,

a creative shoot that captures the theme with many wonderful props to capture the audience.

Martin is such a lovely, talented photographer who is unique in capturing the mind and soul of the audience.

Thank you so much for travelling to me Martin and was an absolute pleasure in working with you. Highly recommended!!

Martin's communication was clear and agreeable. He loves discription and what I describe as edible words which fill my head full of pictures. This made my job of interpreting his brief much easyer and the shoot an enjoyable interactive liason. The sudio was visually aesthetic.....but a broom an hot soapy water would of gone down well but we managed. I always enjoy role playing the photographic scene and Martin certainly gave me plenty of opportunity to do this. Thank you for choosing me Martin with your endless creative buzz......well thought out hot drinks without the aid of a kettle. I would defiantly look forward to working with you again......Fleurdelis

Had my second shoot with Martin, another female model and MUA yesterday. Martin arranged the whole shoot and the preshoot communications were detailed and thorough. I knew what to expect and everything flowed seamlessly. Martin arrived early, was well equipped, professional, brimming with ideas, and a great laugh. The 4 of us gelled and hopefully we will have some super images. Thanks for a wonderful shoot and 100%recommendation from me.

Wow, what can I say?

Superb communication, lighting, direction and above all an imagination.

We hit it off immediately, his concepts were brilliant, we really flowed, almost reading each others minds.

This is a highly skilled gentleman who is a dream to work with.

I so want to shoot with him again, I shall start thinking up ideas.

I highly recommend this wonderful photographer, we all had a fun day, the lovely Jasmine999 and gorgeous mua Gaby

Thanks so much for this lovely experience xx

Had a fabulous shoot with Martin, completely different to any other shoot I’ve done before but I loved his concept and was so pleased he asked me to be involved. It was extremely raw & emotive, powerful & strong. I cannot wait to see the images. Martin is a wonderful character, who enjoys thinking outside the box and creating unusual art, different to the norm ~ which I absolutely love. He’s extremely bubbly and gives great direction, very passionate when he sees ‘the shot’ and I would jump at the chance to work with him again.

Thank you

Tue May 8th saw me work with Martin for the third time as he shot a new and interesting take on Caesar and Cleopatra at Studio X in Oldbury, West Midlands.

Coralling studio management and the fantastically talented artist and models with whom we were fortunate enough to work so we were all on the same page must have been a challenge, but as always Martin made it look remarkably easy.

As ever Martin made the whole event entertaining as well as interesting, while his artistry and industry quality assured every shot. Yet he is not afraid to improvise (or let others do so) and so build on and improve ideas come up with in advance.

Thank you once again Martin - a truly artistic experience as always.
