Well, how could I refuse when Martin asked me up for another shoot at his studio.

Having worked with Martin a few times now he NEVER disappoints!!

We bounced ideas back and forth and his expertise shone through when I asked him to light a pose that I wanted to try.

I had edits from the shoot within 24 hours and I honestly cannot pick a favourite!!!

I very much think I'll be back to work with this incredible man very soon!!!!! :)

I loved shooting with Martin today. He was extremely respectful, encouraging, and very easy to work with. I wasn't afraid to try different moves/poses and he made me feel so comfortable. I had a great day, and am so happy I was able to work with him after looking at his amazing portfolio and plethora of positive reviews! What a wonderful photographer and person. Thank you for today!

Another top shoot with Martin :D After great pre-comms, we went into the shoot with lots of ideas and had fun creating some awesome images. He never fails to bring enthusiasm to a shoot and always provides enough food for an Army. Very pleased to have had the opportunity to work with Martin again and look forward to the next one.

Thank you!

WOW

I finally got to shoot with this legend! and was it worth the wait!

A day packed with creativity fun and giggles. Martin is hilarious kind and warm, full of inspiration and so encouraging, his excitement is infectious and he brought out the best in me.

Martin is so prepared, there were boxes and stacks of beautiful clothing and accessories, latex to gowns, the biggest selection of food and drink, awesome music and his legendary lighting I couldn't have wished for anything more.

Martin it was a pleasure, Thank you so much, here is to many more shoots and a long friendship xx

Well having first discussed a shoot about 6 years ago, and then randomly recently finally sealing the deal; my gosh was it worth it! I knew Martin was going to be fun, funny, and flattering and that was exactly it! All my favorite shoot qualities in abundance. The conversation flowed, the location was great, and he works so hard to flatter the model. Absolutely loved every minute and so chuffed with the pics! Absolutely highly recommended, should you be lucky enough to get the chance!

I had the most amazing day shooting with this lovely and very talented man. Martin is a truly fabulous person -warm, thoughtful, considerate as well as extremely passionate about his images. His love for photography, fashion and music is contagious and I could listen to him for hours.

As a photographer he’s incredibly professional, knows his craft and is a real inspiration to work with. He will get the best out of every model, 110% recommended by me. I had a wonderful day with Martin and the results are epic :D Thank you again Martin :D

I have really enjoyed my shoot with Martin today at the village hall. I'm so pleased I got to shoot with him again after a few years since our last. As ever a great host, excellent pre comms and a super productive shoot. As you can tell from his amazing port, I can't wait to see the results!

I very highly recommend this legend!

Third shoot with Orson Carter. Absolutely beautiful! It was so much enjoyable and quality day! Every picture we have done that day just so perfect and so beautiful! I love so much working with Martin!

Always pleaser!

Well it only took us 10 years or so! I had the absolute pleasure of working with Martin for the first time yesterday, and I certainly hope it won't be the last. We split our shoot over two locations, and really made the most of them, while battling a bit against lighting conditions... that pesky sun just wanted to follow us around! In spite of it's efforts to scupper our plans, though, I still think we achieved some really lovely images.

Martin's beautiful pictures speak for themselves - all I can add is that it was wonderful to work with such a creative, kind and funny chap. Thank you Martin for a truly lovely morning! :)

Had my first shoot with Orson pre returning to do a little fun modelling. After spending years as a professional and having lots of shoots and many many photographers involved I can honestly say Orson was one of the nicest. I cannot believe from a hobbyist tog that he produced such great work! He made me feel comfortable and relaxed and we had a good laugh as well! He is amazing as you can tell by scrolling through his of . Any model is lucky to shoot with him.

I dont have enough words to describe how much i enjoy working with Martin.

I agree with person who said that Orson Carter is a Legend. You really are :)

Thank you so much for an amazing shoot, photos we created and for being such wonderful person.

I cant wait for our next shoot

Highly recommended!!!!!!

Well what can I say, another shoot with the fabulous Martin Smith.

I'm actually running out for ways in which to tell everyone how brilliant this man is!! Wonderfully creative, absolutely histerical and always provides the best food!!!!

Cannot wait for the next shoot with this genius!!!!

Miss_C

After our first shoot I was absolutely thrilled to be asked back for another at his studio in Somerset!!

Martins pre-comms are fabulous. We discussed a range of ideas and Martin sent me a range of images for outfits that he had at his disposal.

Shoot day came (and went too quickly), the studio is great, and Martin provided ample food and drinks to keep us both going. We tried a range of outfits and I can honestly say that I once again Martin had me in stitches for the majority of the 6 hours that we were there for!!

On a serious note - Martin is a brilliant talented photographer with a wealth of knowledge and expertise to share. He has helped me no end with my modelling so far and I cannot wait to shoot with him again!!!!

Martin is the ultimate models dream photographer to work with...

Warm, friendly, understanding, kind, passionate, respectful, patient, complimentary, and a darnnn good photographer.

I think it was our 3rd shoot last month when I was on tour in the South-West area, and I think it's safe to say every shoot gets better and better. I would like to think we have a great understanding of one another now and this certainly helps a rapport between you both and enables you (the photographer) to capture the real essence of your model.

I thoroughly enjoyed our shoot and the images that were produced are incredible, I'm still so behind on sharing but I cannot wait to do so :D

Thanks again Martin,

See you in December, Tillie x

I had been wanting to shoot with Orson Carter for quite some time, it doesn’t take a genius to know why! His work is outstanding!

Martin was very professional yet lovely and made me feel totally comfortable. We had an all day shoot and got a range of superb images which I can proudly add to my portfolio.

Martin and I got on really well and I know that any model will feel comfortable and at ease in his presence.

Martin also provided lunch and refreshments throughout the day to keep us going as well as a huge collection of music in the background..luckily our taste in music was very similar 😊

I 100% recommend Mr Orson Carter and look forward to working with him again, hopefully in the near future!

Had another fabulous shoot with Martin at the stunning location of South House Retreat.

Me and Martin discussed at length ideas for the shoot, including posh frocks, lingerie and implied nude.

Martin pays so much attention to detail and knows exactly how to capture the most stunning shots!! - He's always complimentary about the model, and, once again I found myself laughing throughout most of the shoot!!

I thoroughly enjoy working with Martin, and, yes we have another one in the diary!!! Hehe!

I had another fantastic shoot with Orson on Sunday.When he asked me back how could i refuse this charming,funny and talented photographer.As I`ve shot with him before i knew i was in for a fun few hours.

Orson`s pre communication was excellent as always and we both knew exactly what we were going to shoot on the day.

I brought along a selection of outfits for the shoot including a couple of beautiful corsets from What Katie Did & Orson also kindly supplied some stunning corsets from Jems Corsets so we had a few outfit changes along the way!

After almost 6 hours of shooting it was time to finish and i can honestly say i could have gone on as i absolutely enjoyed every minute of our shoot.

I received 6 edited images next day which i`m totally in love with and more edited images yesterday,super quick turnaround but fantastic quality images.

Thank you sooo much Orson for an awesome shoot.This man gets a high recommendation from me :)

I had another superb shoot with Orson. He is a delight to work with - a consummate professional with a wonderful sense of humour. It's such a pleasure to be in his company - time passes all too quickly. I cannot recommend him highly enough - he is simply the best.

Well, what can I say!!! Just got back from a shoot with Orson today and I can honestly say I've not laughed so much for a long time! (admittedly mostly at my expense haha!!).

Anyway - Pre communication was fantastic, we discussed every detail and I was given lots of opportunity to put my own input in.

Shoot day came and it suddenly dawned on my that I had 5 references compared to Orsons 280 odd.. Que instant panic that I'm working with a genius haha!! But, I can honestly say none of that mattered at all. We spent about 6 hours trying lots of outfits and ideas which Orson captured beautifully. Orson gave me loads of direction and useful advice, I learnt so much today!!!

I'm thoroughly looking forward to working with Orson again and would highly recommend him!!!!
