Working with Martin has been absolutely wonderful. He is very professional and made me feel really comfortable. He had a great selection of dresses as well as loads of ideas and input.

The photos looked amazing on the back of the camera - Martin is really talented at lighting, styling and he's also really interesting and fun to talk to.

I cant wait to see the photos and to work with Martin again!

Having been contacted by Martin, upon seeing his work how could I say no!

This was my first real studio set-up photoshoot. I couldn’t wait to have a good try at it to see what it would be like.

I had the pleasure of a lovely full day for us to work together. I think we laughed as much as we worked. Communications have been spot on since day one, often making me laugh.

Martin directed me perfectly and calmly during the day. Being very patient with me yet we flowed through different sets with ease, bouncing ideas around and trying out many outfits. I felt totally at ease all through the day. Martin was totally respectful when it came to changing. I have never known a man to have such a wonderful selection of womens outfits haha. Makes my wardrobe look rather empty!

Martins knowledge, skill and talent was incredible to witness and the photos I have seen so far show how skilled he truly is. His set up was perfectly made for the photos we wanted to create. The lighting was spot on. Martin was super funny, considerate, enthusiastic, full of energy and a joy to talk to. His knowledge of Cornwall was also excellent.

In all, I thoroughly enjoyed my first experience in a studio set up. Not only working as a team to create such lovely photos, but also making a lovely friend in the process. I was fully impressed during the whole day and I have been sneaky enough to offer my modelling services again in the future if required, how could I not after such a wonderful day

Also the floor of the village hall must be sparkling after Martin buffed it so much.

One a special note, one of the first photos I received, made my Mum cry saying how beautiful it was. There can be no better compliment than that!

What can I say about my second shoot with Martin, it was fabulous in all aspects of this word. I was very glad when we managed to find a day to shoot with Martin till the end of this year, and the way it went exceeded all my expectations.

Martin is a wizard, he has glorious collection of the outfits, and I had a chance to pick those I like the best for Martin to bring, so Pre-communication was on spot as always. We had been shooting using different light techniques and many sets of the outfits, so Martin definitely knows what he's doing. Everything was impeccable, I am very happy I met Martin in this year 😊 2 glorious shoots and many good memories are a result of it.

It goes without saying I do like Martin's personality, a shoot with him is a fiest, my soul is always over the moon after meeting of Martin

An amazing photographer and such a great person, thanks Martin

Can't wait to shoot with you in 2022 🤩

Highly recommended to shoot with, 100%

My dream came true today - I finally got to work with Martin who has been on my bucket list for 8 years!! I was not disappointed!! He is caring, creative and charismatic and we instantly got on so well. The shoot went so well and he is so good with direction, which helped me so much. After each set I was shown the back of camera and there I could instantly see the wonderful Orsen Carter magic!! Martin kindly provided me with plenty of food and we chatted all things music which I thoroughly enjoyed - having also sang - his stories are so amazing and I loved hearing them xx

Like I said it was a dream come true working with Martin and I’m really looking forward to the chance of working with him again soon. Martin is a stand out photographer whose experience and eye makes him so special and I feel so lucky to have had the chance to meet him

I highly recommend Martin to any model - he is just a total gentleman and a super star ⭐️

OMG! Orson Carter! I got to work with Orson Carter.

Sorry I had to get that out my system!

What an amazing shoot. I was truly lost for words to hear he had booked to attend my day at Inspire I've been in awe of his work since I joined the world of purple port.

Time really did fly by and we got some seriously good shots. We've already got another date in the dairy and I couldn't be more excited!

I think it's a given he's recommended! See you soon!

No surprise, another excellent, creative shoot with Orson Photography! I love Martin's passion for making striking images and we have such a laugh on set. Defo recommend!

I had an absolutely amazing time shooting with Martin on Monday. After a long wait we finally got to work together. Martin was prepared with tonnes of things to work with and the shoot was so much fun.

Martin is a very talented photographer, the creativity flowed and the shoot was relaxed. Martin was great company and I can’t wait to see the images we created!

I cannot recommend Martin highly enough, thank you so much, definitely one of my favourite shoots 😊

Without a shadow of doubt, Orson is one of my all time faves to shoot with so when he said he’d like to shoot again I absolutely jumped at the chance!! After working with him many times before I knew exactly what I was letting myself in for, a day of fun and frolics, laughs, food galore, silly selfies and of course some epic sets to shoot which by the way were executed perfectly by himself, I am in love as always with the edits he’s done. I know every time I visit him it’s going to be an absolute blast and of course he did not fail this time. I’ve always adored his work and the genuine lovely guy he is makes it the perfect shoot every time!!

If you are lucky enough to get the chance to work with him, please don’t let it slip you by. You will have the best shoot and great images too.

Thank you for an amazing day Mr C

I couldn't recommend Orson Carter more! I had an absolutely wonderful shoot with him on Sunday. He was friendly, approachable and went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and happy with everything. On top of that, he is an extremely skilled photographer, particularly when it comes to movement photography. I am very pleased with the images we created and can't wait to show them off! I would definitely work with him again.

Ahhhh finally!

Martin and i have been trying to find ways to shoot together for so now and finally got the chance to while I was at Inspire Studios for a few model days - which worked out perfecty!

martin was such a great guy and such a gentleman throughout the shoot.

Felt like meeting an old friend - we got on like a house on fire and the shoot seemed to fly by!

Hopefully we can work together again in the future!

Many thanks for a wicked shootie !!

I am very happy that I had 2 amazing shoots with Martin yesterday and today at Inspire studios in Salisbury. Martin is just fantastic to shoot with. He messaged me before the shoot, sending the photos of numerous outfits, and gave an opportunity to pick them,so very nice of him. Martin shoots without any rush, in his own manner, and his style is absolutely amazing. I do like the photos with movement, and I share this passion with Martin, who is really keen to shoot with big movements wearing amazing long dresses. He proposed some directions,and it contributed to creation of fantastic images. Martin is easy-going photographer to come along with, and I did enjoy our shoot . Highly recommended to shoot with, 100%

Thank you so much for another awesome shoot.

Highly recommended!!!!!!!!!!

I Had a chance to have another brilliant shoot with the genius orsan Carter last Friday, but a maternity one this time and I can’t recommend him enough. he knew how to take the pictures to make me look my best, he is incredibly nice, really professional and extremely creative, I love the photos they’re stunning thank you ever so much.

For the entire day I had the pleasure of working with Orson, who is truly (although he’s reluctant to admit it) a phenomenally talented photographer. Martin was very kind and accommodating throughout the day and watching his reactions to a great shot was just delightful! The joy and passion that Martin shows during a shoot is inspiring and I am more than thrilled with the images we captured. I would highly recommend working with him. Thanks Martin! 😊

Lena Lenman

Another fabulous shoot with Martin, who is incredibly considerate of model's comfort and privacy! Loads of laughs, chats, music and of course, excellent images on the other side. Second recommendation for models thinking about working with Orson Photography!

I was lucky enough to shoot with Martin during his visit to Northumberland and I'm so glad I did! He picked a gorgeous location, he brought beautiful dresses, always made sure I was comfortable, he was very respectful and kind.

And also so much fun! Genuinely the best guy, 10/10 would shoot again :)

I'm not even going to write a long piece, he's already got so many good references. Anyone reading here can obviously tell that it's 100% worth it to shoot with him and that he's just the loveliest person.

Thank you Martin! Hopefully one day we'll meet again :)

I recently had my first ever shoot with the wonderful Martin and I genuinely can say that it was one of my favourite shoots! Martin is kind, respectful, great with pre-shoot communication, a true gentleman and a very talented photographer with a wicked sense of humour :-)

We shot for 4 hours (which by the way, seemed like 2!), in various locations around my house and garden. Martin took great care to think about each set/shot which is something I always love - quality over quantity every time, and that’s what you get with Martin! He is incredibly passionate about photography, and stopped at nothing to get the perfect shot even when it meant lying flat on the ground indoors and out!

He has very kindly already sent over a huge batch of photos, all of which I absolutely love, so if you get the chance to shoot with Martin, take it! Great photographer, lovely person, can’t wait to shoot again!!! Xxx

My second shoot with Martin, very enjoyable, excellent collaboration and endless supply of food snack and coffee, as well as patience with me when I couldn’t quite get an idea to work. That didn’t detract from him adapting what I was trying to achieve and pulling off some excellent images. We have a third booked as we didn’t have time to get through all the planned sets. His relaxed approach combined with exactly the right direction and of course his expertise produces a really high quality and quantity of images. I’ve learned a lot from this and my previous shoot and I’m really looking forward to the next one.
