Such a long time in the making but the time finally arrived! Since I joined purpleport many moons ago I have been an Orson Carter fan! I longed for the day we would get to shoot together and after speaking on and off for over 8 years our paths finally aligned. It was everything and more of what I could have hoped for, Martin was wonderful from he get go, he is really easy to click with and you feel comfortable and at ease straight away.

It was amazing to see how he shoots too, his techniques and precision and use of light is unlike any set up I have seen before. To see the final images coming out too, is incredible I love all of them! Thank you Martin for a wonderful day!

You know you have had a good shoot when you walk away and can't stop smiling, this was definitely one of those days :)

If you get the chance to shoot with Orson Carter, do it!

Highly recommended!

Had my first shoot with the lovely Martin on Sunday.

It was a really fun day! We had a good laugh and was a privilege to spend a day shooting with him. I've admired Martin since starting my modeling journey so was really excited to get to work together.

We did lots of different styles and used lots of cool outfits and I'm very excited to see the finished images. Which already looked great from the back of the camera! He's a huge talent thanks Martin I had a blast! ☺️

Highly recommended by me!

Well well well, I were delighted to have the opportunity to work with Martin and were excited to be doing so on location. I'd appreciated Martin's work for some time and somehow my expectations were beaten!

Martin had great pre communication and shared in good detail all relevant information prior to shooting.

From first meeting, Martin showed great characteristics and I knew not only would we be creating some awesome images but it would be a very enjoyable shoot, which it was! Conversations flowed and were humourous, I loved his enthusiasm and his chosen location was fabulous!! Images speak for themselves! Highly recommended, thankyou so much!

Martin, well what can I say...despite all the challenges from myself (hair disaster, and the dreaded tan lines) Martin created some fantastic shots! And I was amazed at his joyous energy throughout and I couldnt stop smiling too. I have been wanting to work with Martin since I first started photographic modelling when I found his work on here. His skill and talents with how he lights the different sets and styles was amazing to watch. Don't miss the chance to work with this guy. I couldn't of been happier when I did!

Thank you Martin for an amazing opportunity and I hope its not the last! X

I've not had just one shoot, but now two with this absolute legend!!

Blown away by the fact he even wanted to book me the first time, never mind the second! What a guy, what a shoot and what amazing images we created!

Honestly couldn't recommend highly enough, truly a lovely person and a very talented photographer. Hope to see you again soon x

It was a pure joy to work with Martin again and this time at his shooting place in Frome.

Martin is such a lovely person to be around and work with, so much enthusiasm and creativity. Martin is great at commination and making you part of the creative process, open to your ideas as well as his own, making great team work and producing beautiful images.

Martin will look after you 100%, he provided me with plenty if food/snacks/water to keep me going throughout the day which was very kind of him and lot's of little breaks in-between sets to keep you refreshed when working :)

I had an amazing day shooting with Martin and I look forward to seeing the images.

Thank you for another super day.

Highly recommended.

This was my second shoot with Martin, my first being two years ago. I was so excited to shoot with him again and of course he exceeded my expectations yet again!

It's always a joy to shoot with Martin and I am always completely over the moon with the results. We had a productive yet fun shoot. He supplied some lovely outfits and always made sure I was completely happy with whatever we were shooting.

The photos are phenomenal and I am so pleased!

Thank you so much! I would 1000000% recommend and I hope I get the chance to shoot with him again

Finally got to work with the legend that is Orson! I’m very pleased about that as I’m about to retire :)

He had lots of amazing clothes, fed me, watered me and let me do lots of cool shapes!

His lighting is perfect and the shoot was so much fun.

Highly recommended

I was very lucky to shoot with Orson again.

This time it was duo shoot with very talented and fit Allegra.

It is such a pleasure to work with Orson. Said it before and will say it again - if I could, I would shoot with Orson every day.

Thank you so much for another fantastic shoot, I absolutely love photos we created.

Highly recommended

I had my second all day shoot with Orson (very lucky me), just like the first it was an amazing day, lots of fun and absolutely beautiful pictures made!

I cannot recommend Orson enough, a wonderfully creative photographer (and all round lovely person), who takes a lot of time to make sure the pictures are perfect and exactly what you want.

I hope to be able to work with him again in the future.

Working with Martin was SO MUCH Fun!

We'd attempted many times to organise a shoot but the universe got in our way, until now.

It was all very last minute but so well organised on Martin's part. He provided outfits, locations, bottles of cold water in the scorching heat and was a total gent whilst I got changed.

It was also lovely seeing how enthusiastic he got when he was happy with what he could see on the back of camera and he allowed me to go through each set and see if there was anything we could work on.

Having seen some of the images I can see why he got excited and I'd love to work with him again sometime.

Wow I'm a little behind on my references and can't believe it's been over a month since Martin's visit!

This time was no different to the others, it was an absolute pleasure to see him again and in fact as he brought jaffa cakes it was an outstanding visit!!

Honestly though I love his enthusiasm for his shoots and he is fantastic with the models, always so respectful and also goes out of his way to bring them a snack or two as well having taken the time and effort to communicate with them prior to their visit.

His lighting skills are fabulous and the images he creates are wonderful. Absolutely recommend working with him and I personally hope he keeps returning to Inspire.......especially with Jaffa cakes ;o)

Another two fabulous shoots with the famously talented Martin! Both were, of course, absolutely wonderful.

Working with Martin is an experience to remember. Each sequence is well thought through, creativity just flows and Martin captures the most amazing images.

Add to this Martin’s huuuuuge collection of clothes/shoes/props to work with I could just spend hours working with him and never get bored!

Hands down one of my favourite photographers to work with. Thank you Martin, I simply love our work together ❤️

This was my second time shooting with Orson and we totally SMASHED IT!! We shot on two seperate days at 3 different locations around Norfolk and it was an absolute pleasure to work with him, collab on ideas and chat about random stuff :) we mostly focused on art nude and nude fashion and got some really good results. Would definitely recommend him to any model (even if he doesn't like pickles hehe! Inside joke lol)

I had my first shoot with Martin yesterday and just WOW. What an amazing day I had!

Martin made me feel very welcome and comfortable and is an extremely respectful photographer. I’m fairly new to modelling and Martin was great at giving me guidance and tips which is very much appreciated.

His huge selection of outfits and accessories is incredibly impressive, there is definitely something for everyone to try!

I feel privileged to have worked with such an amazing photographer, the pictures are absolutely beautiful.

I highly recommend Martin and would love to shoot with him again in the future.

Oh Martin you brilliant man. Always make shoots fun and so empowering.

We have together created so many incredible images, with a fair few FPIs!

Even though I'm moving closer to London, I will still continue to make the journey to work with Orson Carter.

Highly highly recommend!

I had another amazing shoot with the most incredible talented photographer Martin.

Not only talented but a pleasure and joy to work and be surrounded with.

Martin always provides beautiful outfits which with his talent of photography makes them look even more beautiful.

I consider myself lucky that I’ve been working and meeting him for more than few time.

Not to mention that his work is printed in canvas and hanged up in my bedroom walls.

Absolutely highly recommended.

Martin thank you for the wonderful shot and for being such an incredible person.

What a shoot!!!

Knew this man would disappoint...and yep he did not!! What a great shoot from start to finish.

Just be luck I saw a casting Martin had put up and thought I'm having that and well worth it it was.

Martin is a great photographer who's worked I have admired. We got some great shots to which I am extremely proud of.

Martin is fabulous, inspiring, enthusiastic, fun, professional and a pretty decent photographer if I may say so.

Would recommend in a heartbeat and cannot wait until next time.

Thanks again...what a legend.

Martin was in my area so he and I arranged a shoot on location in the gorgeous Cotswolds countryside.

We had shot a couple of times prior to today, and each time we have shoot, I am left buzzing by the results. Wow!! Wow!! Wow!!

We met on location and got straight to it, producing stunning image after stunning image. The setting was perfect and we worked the location beautifully.

Martin is a fantastic photographer and I absolutely love working with him! We always have great chats and a good laugh too!! An absolute gent and one of the nicest people I have had the pleasure in meeting.

Thank you soo much Martin for another fabulous day

Without a doubt, highly recommended from me
