Oh my goodness, where do I start about yesterday eight hour shoot.

I have shot with Carl on a number of occasions now so when I came up with a three mature model shoot beginning of last year I knew who would be able to handle three women st once and that was Carl. As always Carl pre comms were excellent leading upto our shoot. Carl had set up a group chat so us ladies knew excatly knew what we needed for our shoot. We had four sets to get through in the eight hours and boy did Carl work hard setting up the different sets. This man is just a genius photographer. His lighting skills and eye for detail is just outstanding. He made sure us ladies were in right positions giving all of our three figures the best results. After every few shots Carl would show us what he had capture and boy I really can not wait to show the end results. Thank you so much Carl for a truly memorable shoot that I'll always treasure. We wouldn't have done it without you. Until next shoot ;)

Not sure there is anything I can say about Carl that hasn't been said before. For me, he is one of the 'greats' and that's actually not just because he's a fabulous photographer who's creative, intelligent and brilliant, but also because he's a really lovely man - creative, intelligent and brilliant!

When you shoot with Carl you are guaranteed 2 things - a wonderful experience and wonderful images. He is quite simply my favourite photographer in the world and given half a chance I'd shoot with him twice in a week - hurray lucky I'm back in his studio tomorrow!

Carl is the ultimate gentleman and the ultimate artist

Thank you for everything my friend,

see you tomorrow

A shoot we waited months for but was so worth it!

Throughout the shoot he was extremely professional and positively reinforced when I was doing well.

From the outset Carl was an excellent host but more to the point an amazing photographer. His use of lighting, creativity and imagination are just amazing. The images from the back of the camera that he shared throughout the shoot were staggering.

I cannot wait to see the end results.

Carl is a great host, he even provided me lunch and coffee.

His studio is just magical,

I look forward to working with Carl again. Definatly one of my favourite shoots

Thanks Carl!

Second time shooting with Carl... But... This time I was not alone... As I dragged my gorgeous friend with me to do a duo shoot!!

In true Mr Grim style he stepped up to the challenge, consistently adjusting the lighting, props, equipment... Etc etc... To get THAT SHOT (which I might add he does beautifully!!).

Carl gave brilliant instruction as always, and, made myself and my friend so welcome and comfortable throughout.

Oh... Must not forget... Carl's favourite words are 'Five degrees'... And.. He does not wish to be known as 'One inch Carl'... Can't think why 😂🤣😅

Carl... You're a legend!! Can't wait for the next one!! 😁

Just got back from an incredible shoot with Carl from the moment he picked me up from the station I knew this was going to be a fantastic shoot.

We spoke about ideas prior to the shoot and he’s very lovely guy and easy to get along with I could of sat for hours chatting over a coffee maybe next time with out a doubt ;)

I highly recommend Carl he’s a very talented photographer with an amazing studio lots of props I particularly liked the rack! I can’t wait to see the finished images I think we created some fantastic looks and definitely can’t wait to shoot again very very soon.

Highly recommend to any model thank you Carl Jade ;)

I shot with Carl at his brilliant studio in Fareham for the first time yesterday. As he already has plenty of references, I'm sure there's not much I can add! His combination of great lighting knowledge and giving excellent direction guarantees you'll get fantastic images.

Highly recommended!

Theres so much to say about the fab 2 days worth of shooting I had with Carl, he is a genuine, chatty and laid back guy but also works his models hard to get the desired shots. He is very knowledgeable on lighting, getting the perfect angles and poses and communicates what he wants clearly. We shot a range of duo themes with the gorgeous Aya, covering girls moving house, fantasy in the clouds lolita and mistress being looked after by her little maid. On the second day me and Carl shot solo themes, including on the fetish rack, rainstorm and cutesy kitty girl in lingerie. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and cant wait to work with him again in the future! HIGHLY recommended :)

Back to Carl's gorgeous studio.....what a surprise!!! It was brilliant and the best studio I've seen , but his creativity is endless and his studio was transformed into another world with his clever ideas and engineering skills. I lost words...Carl is a genius photographer and this genius is a genius to create the world he wants to photograph in his studio from the scratch!!! I literally cannot wait to work with him using those new world in the near future.

I had a duo shoot with Carl with beautiful model Gemma Marie and highly skilled make-up artist, Sinopa Rin this time. As always Carl knows the best part of the models and shoot. I had a great time with working a young beautiful lady....could be my daughter???...performing my duties as a mum???....looking forward to seeing the result from the shoot!!!

Thank you for the fantastic shoot!

Highly highly highly recommended!!!

What else can I say about Carl that hasn't already been said? Not a lot as previous references speak for themselves!

Been a fan of his work for a while and was thrilled when he found a slot for me. His studio is awesome and he's a really lovely guy. Professional and enthusiastic with a keen eye for erotica. He knows the female body and how to show off the good bits and disguise the not so good bits.

Im really glad encouraged me to do this shoot, I think hes woken something inside of me haha!

Fantastic shoot and we have only scratched the surface.can't wait to arrange our next shoot.

Highly recommended!

Rachelle Summers

Another superb shoot with Carl!

I always look forward to our shoots as I know how utterly creative and inspiring they will be. I don't know anyone who knows their lights as well as he does and he always makes my body look incredible!

His studio is amazing too and any photographers dream!

Highly recommended and can't wait til the next time :D

So yesterday I had the pleasure of working with Carl for the second time and left even more amazed and thrilled than I did the first time round 😊

Our shoot started off with me in restraints attached to an amazing frame carl had made... whilst chatting I soon realised that Carl qas able to create rope harnesses😀.. so on hearing this it wasn't long before I had him using his skills on me creating me creating the most beautiful red rope harness I absolutely loved, so much so he struggled to get me to take it off 😂😂..

We then moved onto the wet set which I was very excited about... Carl had me fighting a snake which made my set so much fun 👌 it was tough but we had such a giggle.

Then to finish our shoot Carl decided to cover me completely from head to toe in wet clay. .. this I bloody loved 😂.. again I had so much fun with this set, trying to pose on a plastic platform completely covered in wet clay was not very easy atal but i think we nailed it in the end.

Carl, i cannot thank you enough for giving me the most amazing opportunity to work along side you for the 2nd time and although my body is suffering today, every single ache and pain is absolutely more than worth it, I loved every min of yesterday and hope I get the opportunity to work with you againin the future 😊 xx

Had the pleasure working with Carl again on Saturday. This time it was a solo shoot as previously it was all duos. I've been waiting for this shoot for some time and finally the day came. Carl and I had chatted before hand about what we would do. We started of with erotic bed shots then we moved onto the ideas I came up with. The candle wax which I've been wanting to do for some time and the cargo net.

Carl never fails to amaze me. I have shot with him 4 times now and he surprises me each time with his excellent eye for capturing stunning creative images not only that he is one of the loveliest funniest people you could meet. Carl had me laughing so much which made our shoot such an enjoyable one.

I don't think I'll ever get fed up shooting with Carl and that's why I have another three shoots booked with him. I'm really looking forward to my next g/g, g/g/g and b/g in the coming months.

Thank you again Carl for an amazing shoot

Art nude me, Ayla and Carl, for me this was not a dream but a reality.

Its clear through our epic shoots that athletic and powerful physique juxtaposed with a smaller yet toned lady is a formula that allows innovation, power, flexibility, strength, creative innovation. Despite modelling for years I always learn more when I work with Carl who is easily one of the best and favourite photographers to work with ever in life!

Carl is owed cookies so I will have to rectify that on the next shoot we do. A unique and different concept the images will articulate better than words so everyone can appreciate the skill, experience, technical ability to takes to shoot these images. Dark man, light woman thats a massive challenge I do not think people realise how difficult it is to find a balance and the right light.

I do not know how he does it, experience and a keen eye maybe but whatever it is it works perfectly. Thrilled.

My 4th epic shoot with Carl!

This time after me working hard on my physique and working on becoming more toned I was after a fantastic photographer to capture this and who better! MR Carl grim!

Carl is such a lovely, energetic, perfectionist that nails every shot! Shooting with Carl is amazing and first class and I had so much fun shooting!

Miss_C

So, after 6 months of waiting I finally had the absolute pleasure of working with the legendary Carl Grim.

Precomms were great.

Shoot day came and I arrived to the most spectacular location. The studio is first class!!! So so much to work with!!! All beautifully designed and constructed by the main man himself!!

Carl instantly made me feel at ease, we had a good chat about expectations and got shooting straight away!!

8 hours later... And WOW!!! I have seen myself in a light like no other and I LOVE it!!!

Carl is professional, knowledgeable, full of character and a complete gent!

Be prepared for a work out like no other when working with Carl!! But - The pain, sweat and bruises is WELL worth it!! 😂

Thank you so much Carl, looking forward to the next one!!! 😍

Allan Ardour

Had a great shoot with Carl

He was very easy to work with and was spot on with his direction to get some incredible images!

He is extremely talented and a real professional with a great studio.

Highly recommend other to work with him and will look forward to working with him again soon

Had my third shoot with Carl on Saturday. This time was with Allan. As per normal Carl's pre communications are excellent leading upto our shoot. What can I say about Carl that hasn't been said already.This man is extraordinary the way he comes up with these ideas. He just doesn't stop until he gets the image he is looking for and pushes to get the best out of you. It was Allan and I first time shooting together and boy did we get some erotic images which I'm totally over the moon about . Allan unfortunately had to go a little earlier than expected but I stayed on to get Carl to myself for an hour. Again what we perduced in that hour was just amazing. I think the images will speak for themselves. Really looking forward to working with Carl on Saturday 30th March on my own this time and we have already decided what we are going to do. Just watch this space that's all I'm saying. I'll be seeing you again very soon Carl 😊😉 Thank you again for another amazing duo shoot with myself and Allan.

Our shoot firstly postponed by the snow, second time around I am going to struggle to put into words just how fantastic my shoot was with Carl.

His studio is absolutely incredible, I have never seen anything like it before. Carl put me through my paces, we shot a series of art nude ranging from posing against a lamp post, on hessian bags, in a frame, beautiful body scapes, and the breathtaking, rain! We went through my levels, and I instantly felt comfortable with Carl and his direction and talent provided the most amazing results. In fact, out of this word!

Thank you Carl for taking me into a zone that I had never been in before, I found muscles that I hadn't even used before this shoot!

Highly recommended to all models. If you get the opportunity to work with Carl...grab that opportunity with both hands!

Kind regards, Hannorah

A shoot we waited months for but was so worth it!

I was really excited to be working with Carl, Ive always been a big fan of his work- but im more of a lurker than a liker! So was super chuffed when he approached me.

I took up on his kind offer of accommodation and he was really welcoming, picked me up from the station, showed me around and left me cereal and let me sleep as i arrived quite late. He arrived in the morning pre-shoot with a cup of coffee for me and we spoke about what he wanted to create during the day. He makes you feel extremely comfortable in front of the camera and his enthusiasm is infectious whilst hes behind the camera.

We got some amazing shots, a bunch of great, diverse sets and i learnt alot and had loads of fun!

Thanks Carl,

Katy
