Another two shoots with this sweet creative person!

I always look forward to working with Martin he has some great ideas, is so placid and chilled (maybe not when he celebrates a great shot haha!) I love the enthusiasm and dedication he puts in too all shoots and being so considerate and ensuring my comfortability at all times. Martin is such a character, I wish there were more people in the world like him. Great positive energy as well as superb photography skills. Martin helps give the slightest direction which can make a tonne of difference to the outcome and ALWAYS has some super funky ideas giving us different fabulous results.

If you get a chance to shoot with Orson- Take it!

I’d heard from others what a lovely person Martin is, so I was delighted when he got in touch to arrange a shoot with me. His communication in the lead up was great - he checked I was comfortable with everything we were planning to shoot and made sure I was happy throughout the day and a half we spent shooting. A constant supply of food and cups of tea were on offer, so I felt well looked after!

Martin knows his set up and what works within it well, allowing space to focus on creativity when it comes to styling and posing. We collaborated on ideas, with Martin being happy to take on my suggestions and make adjustments to achieve the best results. His direction and feedback when it came to posing was very helpful, meaning we could achieve the best possible results for each set of images!

He works at a good pace - spending just the right amount of time on each set and has a great chatting to shooting ratio! I felt that he wanted to get to know me and my skills and this came across in the images. From what I have seen on the back of the camera and in the edits he has sent me so far, he doesn’t take a bad photo :)

Working with a photographer like Martin makes me feel lucky to call modelling a job. I look forward to shooting with him again in the future!

Second shoot with Martin finished and the time flew by!

i absolutely love Martins energy, we bounce of each other quite well. he is more than happy to try any of my ideas and determined to make them work. Martin really knows how to bring out my creativity and knows how to execute the shots perfectly, always wanting to better his work with every last little touch.

More importantly, Martin makes sure to make feel comfortable and relaxed which definitely shows through the shots already being posted. i absolutely adore working with Martin and we're already planning more!

Thanks you so much for a rememberable couple of days,

Jasmine

Lucky me, third shoot with Martin within 10 days!

This time went headed off into the woods for an outdoor shoot. Martin greeted me with big smiles again and the same infectiously good energy! And was ever patient with our wandering around the forests, very trusting of me to not get us lost, a positive approach that never seems to faulter!

We spent a gorgeous afternoon shooting a range of floaty and semi nude images, all of them of course looking fantastic yet again on the back of the camera. Martin capturing everything beautifully despite being up against sun-relates difficulties and impossible weather! I was enamored and can't wait to see more.

Thanks so much again Martin!

Big recommendations from me always 😁

First shoot with Martin and what an absolute cracker for a first shoot! Already full of excitement for our 2nd shoot and going by the images created today, i know we're going to create even more magic a second time round.

Martin was full of energy which matched my wacky side too which only helped bring out the best in each other as we constantly bounced ideas from one another.

As for recommending Martin, that goes without any doubt whatsoever as he made me feel relaxed and comfortable from the get go.

looking forward to round 2! Thank again,

Jasmine

I thoroughly enjoyed my second shoot with Orson Carter!

We had such a blast on our first one that it was a real honour to be booked to shoot again with him just a few days later. An abundance of laughs, creativity, hilarious stories and mint aero bars - a total joy to work with!

Martin was so kind yet again, especially with me having been a little under the weather the night before, and was consistently considerate making sure I was alright, my wellbeing being a priority. He was incredibly patient and lovely with my sleep deprived state to begin with and I appreciate that very much!

And of course the brilliance of the day lifted me entirely! We spent the day messing around with shapes and shadows, bodysuits and twirly dresses and all sorts. Martin captures these things PERFECTLY and it's an honour to be a part of his works!

Thanks again Martin, a wholehearted recommendation from me for sure!

Working with Martin is such a joy!

After months of correspondence and his ever polite patience with my schedule and travel difficulties, we finally got around to shooting on Thursday... and it was absolutely wonderful!

Martin just exudes positive energy the moment you meet him, and with epic music on the go and hilarious stories galore, you could just chat to him for hours. We had to remind ourselves we were there to take photos too!

The set up was brilliant, Martin hires out a local village hall and the space works perfectly. Spacious yet warm, with toilets and a changing room available and a kitchen filled with various yummy snacks and beverages too that Martin so kindly brings in himself for you!

The photos we captured were outstanding. I knew they'd be great from his extensively beautiful portfolio, but of course I was still blown away with every back of the camera shot I was shown. Lighting legend and glorious garment supplier ~ obviously makes for the most gorgeous and dramatic images. Dead impressed with the speedy turnaround too, the edits I've seen so far are just stunning.

Already another date in the calendar too! I'm honored.

Thanks so much Martin, wholeheartedly recommended of course 😊

I shot with Martin for the second time on Friday, and again it was a fantastic experience!

This time Martin and I worked together in a wonderful renovated chapel local to me. I'm really pleased we worked together at this location, I feel we used the space beautifully.

Martin came extremely well prepared with some gorgeous outfits that were perfect for the venue. I am always very envious of Martin's outfit collection; he has some stunning pieces!

I had a great time working with Martin, he is such a fun and energetic character. He also knows exactly how to direct you to complement the model and enhance their figure.

We did some amazing sets, including some floortraits which I am not always comfortable with, but Martin of course captured me beautifully.

I absolutely love working with Martin and would do it again without hesitation! Thank you so much, and I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the images.

Had a lovely first shoot with Martin at Inspire studios! I was really looking forward to shooting with Martin as his previous work is absolutely beautiful.

Martin had such fun,lovely energy on the shoot and was very considerate towards me and any rests/breaks I would need. Martin also brought along some lovely outfits,one of which worked really well!

The images I’ve seen so far are absolutely beautiful! I would definitely recommend shooting with Martin and hope to again soon.

Had shoot number two with Martin yesterday.

I was extremely excited about shooting with Martin again as we got some superb images last time.

We shot a number of sets ranging from lingerie to pretty skirts and dance inspired sets, Also using both backdrops and creating some shadow sets.

I’m always grinning from ear to ear when I get to see the back of the camera shots, And incredibly excited to share the images :)

Martin is such great fun to work with, With great music taste and the shoot is always packed with great conversations and giggles. Thank you for the snacks and hot drinks to keep me refreshed very much appreciated!

Martin has some great outfits and accessories to try throughout the shoot, My eyes instantly went to a flamenco inspired skirt, Which we used for a swishy skirt set, It looked fab!!

Pre comms are always superb and Martins direction throughout the shoot are spot on, Unlike me and my lefts and rights! We resorted to passenger side and drivers side 😂 Definitely had me giggling!

Would I recommend Martin? Absolutely! A million percent!

Already planning shoot number 3.

Thank you Martin for another lovely shoot Jade x

I had my first shoot with Martin yesterday & absolutely loved it!

Martin was super friendly, fun & professional, we had such a good laugh.

I was booked at quite short notice but the pre-shoot comms were clear & prompt with loads of snacks & drinks on had all day too which was a really lovely touch!

There was an array of outfits to choose from, it was like playing with a huge dressing up box & shooting was a real pleasure too, Martin gave great direction & I have never seen someone so lit up by a great shot!

I would have no hesitation in working with Martin again & highly recommend working with him!

Thank you so much Martin for a great day!

I had absolutely amazing first shoot with Martin last Saturday.

Great pre comms, I knew exactly where to go and what to expect. Martin is amazing and really talented photographer, true gentleman, really easy and fun to work with and definitely got better outfits than I do 😂 he even kindly provided some lunch and snacks for us!! Location (village hall) is a stunning place with lots of potential but you don't need much with such a good photographer! And I must admit we have done so many amazing pictures, can't wait to see the rest already! (Plus Martin's reactions to a good shoot are the best I've ever seen lol)

I'm so happy we finally got to work together and really hope to work with Martin again in the future! Relaxed atmosphere, lots of chats but also very professional in terms of giving advices and directions for model.

Couldn't recommend enough, 11/10!

I had my first shoot with Martin and what a fun filled shoot it was.

Martin was there set up and ready to go on arrival, snacks and drinks and anything I needed was all there which was lovely.pre Comms were great and we knew exactly what we were going to do within our shoot.

Martin was warm and welcoming and professional, he has just the enthusiasm and energy as I do. Which made it a fun shoot.

I would 100% recommend to shoot with if you haven't already.

I can't wait to see the images.

And shoot again in future.

My first shoot with Orson Carter... and hopefully not the last!

So pleased we managed to shoot after wanting to work together for quite sometime our schedules alined and I am so pleased that they did.

Welcoming from the start, kind and funny, well put together and organised, considerately brought along snacks, which is always so nice and thoughtful, an array of clothing from lingerie, accessories, flowing skirts, stunning choice of style I might add, very impressed.

We got through so many creative sets together, from fashion, twirling and movement shots, to collaborating on what we thought would be the next amazing idea, time flew by and before we knew it, it was time to pack away, I loved every second, I could add so much more but the matter of fact is, it was a delight, as you'll see from hundreds of other successful references on here.

If you have the chance to work together, you should.

Thank you, kindly!

UKCrystal

Delighted to have had another shoot with Martin!

Once again and like previously he had some great ideas, reasonably simple but with all the correct brain cells, props, creativity and to put his idea into light. Perfect pre communication. Full of enthusiasm and character as like our last shoots. Delightful character, totally respectful and thoughtful, never fails to match his angle to capture the shot. Total joy. Of course I'd highly recommend Orson, if you get the chance TAKE IT! Thank you once again and can't wait till our next shoot.

Well what a weekend, not one but two full days shooting together and a whole load of creativity bouncing around.

Martin is always very lovely to work with, a bundle of joy and an overflow of interesting conversations makes for a great day indeed.

We had the opportunity to delve into my new suitcase of looks, Latex and accessories to play with. Martin even let bring along my little rotty pup and a love spark was certainly ignited between the two!

A great weekend all around, in great company and with a down to earth talented photographer!

Thanks for having me, see you again very soon 😊

Another amazing shoot with Martin I was really excited about and it feels like my favourite day in the year when I shoot with Martin. It would be very difficult to find someone who treats models better than Martin does,as Martin is extremely warm-hearted, down to earth, fascinating photographer ,and every models who had a chance to shoot with him should feel extremely happy and flattered she did. Martin's photography style is a definition of fashion elegancy which brimming over with perfect combination of technique finesse and unique taste of capturing femininity. Martin is an absolute master of what he is doing and he always puts his efforts to provide best outfits, make sure I feel very good and have everything I need on the day we shoot. Martin is one of my favourite photographers so far,his professional skills are equal with his kind personal character which created amazing shoot we just had together. I already can't wait to shoot with Martin again

Thanks Martin

Always highly recommended,100%
