Another fab remote shoot with the lovely Martin! This time he sent me a box of styling goodies in the post ahead of time - 2 great outfits and a gorgeous bag to accessories the theme we planned. The colours worked SO well and Martin is brilliant at giving specific direction as well as complimentary feedback as I flow through poses, making the whole session a delightful collaboration. Lots of laughs throughout and chats about all sorts. Martin is such a multi-talented, kind and fun person to work with - thank you! :-)

I had an absolutely wonderful remote shoot again with Martin recently. He is a real gem to spend time talking to, exchanging ideas and creating with. Thoroughly fun, considerate and professional!

His pre-shoot communications are brilliant, planning outfits, backdrops and props so well. Whole-heartedly recommended. I can't wait to see more of the fantastic results he has in store :-)

Final shoot for this project went off without a hitch, as always I recommend Martin to anybody thinking of working with him - great with direction, adaptable, focused and a lovely person.

Another great shoot, Martin was friendly and chatty and great with direction, also open to me bringing my own thoughts and ideas. Looking forward to working together again tomorrow on location with a second model too - can't wait to see the end result. If you're looking for a photographer then Martin is absolutely lovely to work with

I greatly enjoyed the shoot today with Martin who juggled two models very well! I can't fault pre comms, he had a great vision and came well prepared with props and his home studio set up ready. He put me immediately at ease, made sure I had something to drink whilst keeping on track with the shoot. I'm looking forward to a second shoot which has been booked for next weekend. Would 100% recommend him as somebody to work with.

Martin is a brilliant photographer! What a great guy and I can’t wait to work with him again, he’s very talented in his work!

Genuinely nice to see Martin back again this time shooting with Fretters. He came with a vision of what he wanted to achieve so he can get his creative juices going in Photoshop as he loves to create a piece of art from his images. He worked well with Sophie and they had fun working through the different outfits.

Martin is a wonderful guy full of wonderful ideas. We recently worked together at Inspire Studios and he did not disappoint. He has a clear passion for both photography and art in which I feel delighted to be a part of.

We shot a variety of different styles and I very much look forward to seeing his visions brought to life. He is enthusiastic, respectful and a genuinely lovely person. I would recommend :D

It was an absolute pleasure to see Martin back at the studio again......been a while but the pandemic got in the way a little! Martin is a real creative and has a genuine passion for photography. It was great to see him shooting with Caitlyn and they worked well together. Look forward to seeing the images they created.

Nice to work with Martin for the first time at Inspire Studio. He was very enthusiastic and gave positive feedback throughout.

The atmosphere was very relaxed, I was able to pose freely, when needed he gave me some useful directions and we also tried different ideas. The back of the camera looked great and can’t wait to see some of the final images.

Had a fantastic shoot with Martin yesterday and I’m really looking forward to seeing how the pictures turn out.

He is hugely creative and a real visionary. His home studio is really well equipped and Martins communication before and during the shoot was fantastic.

I’d hugely recommend his if you get the chance to work with him

Where to begin ! First time Elle & I had the opportunity to work with Martin in person ,although we already knew he was a lovely person, after hosting a previous remote shoot with him,as there is approx.5 hours driving distance between us . However, as my model daughter,Elle Baldwinson & I were conducting our south coast tour,nothing was going to keep us away from paying the lovely Martin a visit in his home studio & garden for a very special photo shoot .

Martin made us feel comfortable and at home from the start ,it was an absolute honour to work with him & already we have seen one of the amazing images he took . Can highly recommend working with this absolute gentleman.

Had my first in person shoot with the lovely Parkstone photography! It was so nice to shoot together after working remotely and admiring Martin’s work for so long.

Martin has such a wonderful style and it was amazing to see that come to life,Martin ours so much effort into his shoots which is lovely,I was able to see the costumes,props and sets he had put together. He has prepared very well for our shoot together and had picked out some fantastic costumes that he has worked so hard on.

Martin was a pleasure to work with,he is so welcoming and approachable it really was like going to visit a friend! This combined with Martin’s incredible style,it would be crazy to pass up on the opportunity to shoot with him,so definitely do if you get the chance! I hope to be able to shoot with him again!

Omg, Martin is absolutely a breathe of fresh air to work with. He is such a fun and relaxed individual and made me feel at ease during our shoot. Our work and time together was such an amazing experience which I'm sure I'll never forget ahaa.

I also have to admit that I was absolutely mind blown by his unique creativity during our shoot and with the final images.

He is truly a creative genius with an amazing soul and if you get to work with him then you are truly one of the lucky ones.

I am looking forward to our next project and adventures.

Elle Baldwinson

Where to begin! Just had the most amazing first shoot with Martin. I was thrilled when Martin wanted to work with me as I am in awe of his photography,he is a true artist and I had never had the chance to work with someone that has a style like him. Martin’s enthusiasm for the shoot was wonderful and I knew it was going to be a great shoot before it even began.

Martin was a pleasure to work with,he gave great feedback, and suggested ideas. I now know just how incredible Martin is after he told us all about his creations and the amount of work and dedication he puts into his photography.

The energy from Martin was amazing and has made me even more excited to see the results from today,I cannot wait to have the opportunity to shoot with Martin again,hopefully in person. Please,please if you get the chance,shoot with Martin!

Had a fantastic shoot today with Martin . What a lovely, down to earth guy he is ! My daughter, Elle Baldwinson was the model & I helped out with makeup & camera positions on this Remote shoot . Martins' pre-comms were perfect & he was clear & concise with his requirements for this styled shoot. It was an honour to be able to work with such a lovely &creative photographer. Can't wait to work with him again .

I hugely enjoyed my first shoot with Martin recently - working remotely and what a fab time :-)

From the get-go it was clear he was super easy going (loved that he ordered burger king deliveroo whilst we worked! :-P), down to earth and funny! I felt relaxed and able to be myself. We had a great little laugh throughout and I absolutely ADORED his enthusiasm and positive feedback which always helps make you feel on form as a model! :-D

He had suggested a range of ideas and concepts for us to work on when we started planning the shoot, and we narrowed it down and focussed on those, collaborating on the styling and details every step of the way. He had brilliant communication and decisive creativity, and we bounced off ideas together. I adore the results and would be thrilled to work with him again, be in remotely or in person :-)

Martin is super lovely person to work with, he gave me great communication pre shoot and during the shoot.

Martin is creative and I loved his ideas, we manged to get some great images yesterday and I look forward to seeing the results.

I hope I can work with Martin again be it in person or remote.

Thank you for a fab shoot.

Martin is a dream to work with! I had previously worked with him on a group event and he was a bundle of fun then so when he booked his first remote shoot with myself and Chris Conway we were delighted. Just the same banter, fun and frolics as in person. Lots of laughs whilst producing amazing images from his moodboard. We absolutely loved the ideas he bought to the table and it was an absolute blast creating them with him. Martin comes with the highest of recommendations from me and I hope to have the pleasure of working alongside him again soon. Thank you for a very enjoyable and productive 4 hours!!

Enchanted Evermore Styled Workshops

Martin came on our "At the Forest Edge" taster workshop. He was very pleasant, polite and considerate throughout the workshop. He worked very well with the model, was friendly and great company throughout and it was an absolute pleasure to have him there. We look forward to seeing his images and do hope to see him at future workshops.
