What can I say about Orson Carter that has'nt already been written. I knew from his reputation and pre comms that it would be a special shoot and it truly was.

The images he creates are exceptional, managing to capture such intensity, emotion and fun seamlessly.

A true gentleman who kept me fed and watered with lots of tea!

I feel extremely fortunate to have worked with this great photographer. Cannot wait to do it again Orson.

WOW what an amazing shoot I had with Orson Carter.

It was a lovely day and I was fed and watered, which was most appreciated.

I was my first art nude shoot and was made to feel at complete ease all the time.

I really can't wait to see the images and am sure from what I had already seen will be brilliant.

Thank you Orson for an amazing day..

Highly recommended

Just had my second shoot with awesome Carter.

We had a ball and created some stunning images. Im happy with the back of the camera so when he sends me edits im blown away!

Orson is such fun to work with and allows me to set my creative side free. Love working with him.

Thank you for having me.

So.....Just returned home from one of the most fun and entertaining shoots i've done. I had previously worked with Orson on 2 occasions so i knew all along it was going to be fab but honestly laughed so much whilst producing some pretty cool images. I genuinally had a blast. Martin is not only amazing at what he does but he is an absoulute joy to work with. Time flies with him and we got through so many different sets that i actually can't remember everything we did. It's clear to everyone just what am absolute genius he is with his camera and lighting but to anyone who hasn't had the pleasure of working with him may not know that he is also a total legend and a bundle of fun with a huge personality. I can't recommend him enough and strongly advise anyone who is lucky enough to have the opportunity of working with him to not let the opportunity pass as you will not only have amazing images that will benifit any port but you will have a fantastic day. I would have no hesitation working with him time and time again ...... as long as he remembers the hedgehog and manglewurzel sandwiches :-) hehehehe

Thanks martin for another lovely day!!!

I've always admired Orson's work and we've wanted to work together for ages but I've been unable to get up to him, so when he let me know that he would be in Cornwall we arranged to shoot on a location that Orson has had his eye on for a while.

Orson is such a lovely guy, I felt instantly at ease and like I'd known him for ages. We chatted

about all sorts before, during and after the shoot. He was so thoughtful and brought sandwiches, fruit and cold drinks with him for both of us which was much appreciated.

The shoot was so much fun and with the mix of my poses and Orson's direction I feel we captured some great images. Thank you so much Orson, it was lovely to meet you and to work with you. I'm very much looking forward to arranging a studio shoot with you in the near future too :)

I finally plucked up the courage to arrange a shoot with the awesome Orson, and arrived feeling rather nervous – he’s just so good!! :D

He turned out to be one of the nicest people I have ever met, made me feel instantly at ease, and his enthusiasm is very catching! Between us, we came up with some superb outfits, and with Martin’s help and guidance, I managed to produce some of the poses I had been hoping for.

The day absolutely flew by, and as well as enjoying it immensely, I also feel that I have learned a lot about various aspects of modelling, Martin is only too happy to share his vast knowledge.

A wonderful experience, and I truly hope that I get to shoot with him again soon. 100 % recommended.

Thank you very much, Martin.

He comes recommended - a thousand times over!

So...finally we did it and arranged our shoot.

I had the best day in Martins company, what a genuinely lovely man.He was respectful, professional and a true gent!

We had such a laugh and bounced ideas around, rummaged through the dressing up case, had endless cups of tea and created some amazing images which I'm thrilled with.

Would I recommend him......big fat yes!!!!!

Orson Carter is a highly sophisticated artist with a very unique style when it comes to glamour photography. Being a nude model for some “stranger “can feel awkward if not done with the right person, just not with Orson as he’s very professional, uber polite, respectful and super super fun guy to be around (plus he gives you a tea break every 90 minutes which is highly appreciated when you’ve been standing butt naked on one leg with your high heels for an hour). On top of it he cheerfully went along with all my crazy ideas and didn’t blink an eye when I suggested to "push the limits", so working with him was a lot of fun. Thank you so much for everything Orson.

This man has been on my WTWW list pretty much since I started modelling, so it was a huge privilege when we were able to finally sync our diaries, despite my lurgy postponing the first one! As Orson and I had been in contact for some time, the whole thing was relaxed, chatty and informal. A total gent, he brought food and drink for me (which he then regretted as I ate all the Jaffa cakes and fruit), and I forgot I was on a shoot and it felt like 2 mates hanging out for the afternoon. Orson made sure I was happy with back of camera shots, and the edits that are seeping through are looking amazeballs.

If you get the chance to working with this talented magician of a photographer then DO IT!!!! I would love to work with Orson again, although maybe not leave it 2 years though...?

Thank you for a wonderful day,

Shannie :)

Oh my giddy aunt!!!! This mad man let me come back for round two!!! (Crazy fool!) ;)

Absolutely love working with Martin, he is not only great company but is also quite good at using a camera too!! :P The cool thing is with this man, that you can throw any idea at him and he'll agree to try it. Not only that but he'll then work with you to help perfect and evolve the idea!! Perfect!!

Love his creativity and enthusiasm......oh yeah, the fantastic images too!

Hoping we can arrange shoot number 3 at some point, if he'll have me back!

Thank-you so much Martin :D

If I could list everything I would want to get from a shoot, and list all the traits I'd love a photographer I'm working with to have....Orson would tick every single box!

He's laid back, a gent, lovely hospitality, loads of accessories, great sense of humour... The list goes on.

The studio was warm, the sun was shining, I was fed (well) and watered (mmmm tea and coffee!), mine and Orson's idea machines were ticking away and my God did we get up to some awesome stuff!

I will definitely be looking to work with Orson again... Are you free tomorrow...?? Haha!

Honestly top gent and knows his stuff about lighting and photography.... This man is a genius!!!

I finally got to work with Orson yesterday. What a fantastic shoot! He is such an enthusiastic, funny and quite obviously talented photographer. We hit it off right away over a cuppa and then got to "work." By work I mean having a really laid back and hilarious time making some really cool images. I may have over-done our outfit choices but Orson put his fantastic styling skills to work ;) and we worked through several styles and looks. He gave really helpful direction and plenty of snacks and breaks throughout.

It was a thoroughly enjoyable day spent with a lovely gentleman and a true talent! I will definitely work with Orson again! (If he likes it or not :D )

Another shoot with the amazing talent that is the one and only Orson carter, what else is there to ever add to his wonderful references, they all speak for themselves, a true gentleman , polite, respectful, fun and just one lovely guy, his photography is outstanding and some of my best images come from our shooting together, each and every shoot is varied and different and I feel we toped the previous which I never think can be done, a master of lights and photography is always fantastic

to boot I get fed and watered all day and treated so well

I really feel privileged working over and over with this master of photography

Thankyou again Martin

I have been looking forward to shooting with the lovely Mr Carter for quite a few months now! We shot together last weekend in his usual village hall location. He pre-shoot comms were (needless to say) totally spot on, I know all the details of where and when even down to the level of detail about whether I was likely to have phone signal or not. On the day he welcomed me with open arms, helped me out with all my bags and we chatted over beverages before starting. He is a lovely guy, really friendly and funny and I enjoyed shooting and chatting with him muchly! He is very self-deprecating, but is very talented and gives super helpful direction. We shot for 6 or 7 hours but with lots of breaks so it was very relaxed. He sent me the first 6 edits on the same night which was above and beyond! :) I absolutely recommend him, and will totally work with him again!

So today i had the pleasure of working with Awesome Orson for a second time. I was over the moon that he wanted to shoot with me again as our first shoot was sooo much fun and he produced some of my very best images. Needless to say, this shoot was just as much fun, if not better :-) full of laughs and some really cool new ideas that i hadnt tried before. The time just flew, Orson is truely an absolute pleasure to be around, fully committed 100% professional and seriously....so much fun!! Personally i thnk we make a pretty good team ;-) we smashed out some really cool ideas and Orson new how to pull out that ''wow'' image. Absolutely loving the BOCS so really cannot wait to see the finished results. I dont think anyone needs me to tell them that his work is amazing as this is clearly evident from his port however, if you havent worked with him its important you know that not only is he fun and professional he is a true gentleman with a wonderful sense of humor that thinks of the model at all times....oh.... and feeds them loads of munchies!!! teally great day all round

Im pretty sure we will be shooting again in the future....if he'll have me back haha :-)

thankyou for a brilliant day yet again

Had my FOURTH shoot with Mr Carter recently. Fantanbulous day:). Persuaded Mr Carter to listen to my music once again, consumed a lot sugar, played dress up and balanced on a few props. Yes, a highly productive day that produced pretty pictures. Could not possibly ask for any more from a shoot and was a perfect day. Oh and did I mention he makes great tea with the right amount of sugar, does not put less in when I am not looking:). Until next time...

Ana-Ray
