What can I say that hasn't yet been said about this one of a kind fantastic photographer, whose work speaks for itself and so the long list of references from the hundreds models he has shot?

Well, I was a damn lucky one, second time around with him yesterday, I was blessed by his magic once again as he is truly one that can make something magical happen with those lights, his tricks, his contagious enthusiasm and effervescent personality, yet humble and down to earth. Aside his fantastic talents, he is the greatest gentleman, most fun, humorous, caring and fab company to spend few hours with. He certainly fuelled my creativity and put me in the best mood ever one could be on a shoot. I was touched by his kindness in offering me lifts from my B&B and then to the station and providing me with treats and delicious sandwiches, tea and fruit. HIs drive is bigger and greater than the few ailments that can bother him at times, so much so that he makes you forget that he may be uncomfortable at times so I must apologise if I haven't allowed for enough rest. His sense of style and fashion eye is superlative and he knows exactly what he wants to shoot and what he is aiming for. However, he appreciates and encourages a lot the model input and I am so delighted that we were so well synchronised. Also truly thrilled at some of the garments and props I could use from his range.

Thanks so much Orson for making what for me will be one of the best ever shoots in my career!

On Monday I had my first shoot with Orson. I admired his work for a while.

When I got message about possible shoot, I couldn't believe. Shoot with Orson Carter?! ORSON CARTER!!! that amazing photographer. I couldn't miss this opportunity. So I got a day off from work and looked forward to our shoot. Communication before shoot was great, we exchanged some ideas, Orson explained exactly what will happen on a day.

We met at train station and when we arrived at studio, everything was prepared for shoot. Time with Orson gone so quickly, we done many different styles. He is such a pleasure to work with - amazing photographer, professional and fun. I absolutely love photos from our shoot. If you ever have chance to work with him, do it! I promise, you won't regret.

Orson, I can't thankyou enough for our shoot. You are AMAZING and I look forward to our next shoot.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Orson Carter at the end of October this year and as it was my first time shoot (along with my modelling friend Amazon) I couldn't recommend him any higher. Orson is warm, encouraging and incredibly professional, as well as remarkably talented and zealous in inspiring the best in others.

Our shoot involved dynamic poses and artistic nudity which for a first time model might have been daunting, but I was made to feel completely comfortable in Orson's heated church hall and found his enthusiasm and clear love for his art utterly inspiriting from the moment he took the first shot.

My urge to continue modelling has been fed by the day I spent with Orson in Frome and I hope to work with him again someday, trustingly with more experience behind my back and with the same energy and joyfulness he displayed during our shoot. The photographs he took of us were fantastic. Thank you so much!

So it has only been a matter of weeks since my shoot with Orson Carter, but he asked me back and to be honest, he did not have to twist my arm too much as we had such a successful shoot last time.

I spent some time putting together some looks for him but, same as before, we just put everything out, had a look and matched up some looks together as well as the ones I had planned.

Orson is so easy to work with and is so enthusiastic, he knows what he's doing. It is a full day of work amf quite energetic but orson is not a nazi, he gives you plenty of tea and snacks and nothing is really set in stone.

He is very respectful of your personal space and always checks that you're OK.

He also gives you loads of pictures and edits them so bloody fast!

Definitely worth a trip to that quaint part of the world!

Highly recommended!!!

I have loaned Orson some of my corsets for a couple of shoots now and I have to say he is absolutely lovely!

Orson let me know when they arrived and sent them back quickly and in perfect condition :)

I've received beautiful images very quickly both times and would not hesitate to loan Orson more pieces whenever he wants them!

I had my second shoot with Orson on Saturday and what can I say? Working with Orson is an absolute pleasure, it's the most relaxed, fun shoot you'll ever have.

He instantly puts you at ease, has great taste in music, entertaining stories and is genuinely just the loveliest person to work with. Great at directing, happy to show you how sets are looking and constantly enthusiastic. I'd work with him constantly if he wasn't so blooming far away!

And on top of all that the images are bloody brilliant and the edits arrive almost before you even know you've finished shooting :)

Another awesome day and wonderful photos, thank you!

I was lucky enough to be asked back for a second shoot with this maestro of the camera !

getting to work with Orson has been a true joy , he brings out the best in my personality makes me feel relaxed and has a truly inspirational way of working with a model ,

The images that I have I will always treasure and my dreams came true with some of the styles / genres that we captured ..

Orson knew exactly how I wanted to look and did exactly that with so much enthusiasm and creativity ..

I can't wait to work with him again ...

Thank you ...

OH MY GOODNESS! I had admired Orson Carter's work for a while, so when he contacted me for a shoot I was over the moon. I had my first shoot with Orson on Saturday and I can't recommend him highly enough. There was loads of pre shoot communication, he was very welcoming on arrival. I was fed and watered and made very comfortable. We put together some looks from my wardrobe and just went for it! Orson was so enthusiastic and passionate, despite the fact he has shot hundreds of pictures, he was bursting with excitement at each shot and occasionally doing a small dance, which was hilarious and very reassuring at the same time. Orson was excellent at giving direction and also he is very respectful in terms of not pushing you to not do what you don't want to do. As he said to me 'I don't think it's right for me to touch your lingerie so I won't go near it!'

He's modest and pretends to not know what he's doing, but his pictures speak a thousand words. A true professional with a good eye.

We worked hard and we're both exhausted at the end, but the whole day was effortless in terms of getting on with each other and getting some strong images.

I've only seen the pictures on the back of the camera at the moment and I've been sent a few and I am utterly blown away already. So so happy and I would certainly work with him again!

Highly recommended and worth a trip to Frome!!

Thank you so much :)

Such a privilege to work with Orson Carter! Am really grateful for having been given this opportunity. Thank you so much for the amazing shoot and for all your guidance and direction.

The shoot was magical, Orson Carter is brilliant to work with. His passion for photography and art is contagious and I feel that helped with creating some incredible images, and making the shoot very enjoyable. Time raced passed without knowing.

Orson Carter has a fab sense of humour and is very easy to work with. He was very happy with all my ideas and the outfits I prepared, although we didn't get the time to use them all - so I'll have to shoot with him again :-)

I truly hope we'll be able to shoot again soon!

Martin is such a wonderful photographer and is always very encouraging on set and full of ideas that always work really well

His photographer and outstanding lighting skills speak for themselves and his passion and endless chatting make for a fun yet relaxed fun shoot.

Thankyou for having me back

Absolutely one of the best shoots I've ever been a part of. Talented, professional, intelligent, open-minded and exceedingly passionate is Mr.Carter! Every single image was of impeccable quality and my god he's got an eye for perfect composition/lighting Angels/ways of moving the body and ways of enabling comfort so all of this can be done smoothly and successfully!

Storytelling is my favourite thing, and the day was full of story sharing, blue-berry munching and laughter! Very happy, what a pleasure!

I've never felt so confident about recommending a photographer before.

I had an awesome first shoot with the legendary Orson Carter today! It was a bit of a last minute arrangement and I'm so happy he managed to fit me in. Comms were great and he was fun but respectful at all times. Food and drink was provided, lucky me! I can't wait to see the images. Highly recommended, hopefully we can work together again in the future! :D
