I’ve shot with Carl so many times and I love working with him! He is the master of light and it’s an absolute pleasure being in his company. The images are always stunning!

Highly recommended

Monsieur E

This is actually ridiculous how talented Carl is at what he does aka master of light.

We have found a successful formula for our shoots which works brilliantly.

We did art nude, erotic nude alongside Scarlot Rose.

A technical shoot because a lot of the poses that we were aiming to achieve are not easy and require experience, skill, direction and willingness.

Very specific lighting hence Carl 15 degrees to the left being his name but with insane affect.

Highly recommended by me and I look forward to working together again.

Legend.

I had two amazing shoots with Carl this week, the first being an epic duo with Monsieur E and the second being a solo shoot.

Both shoots were planned well with great pre-comms and as to be expected, Mr. Two-degrees was on top form behind the camera and with his lighting genius!

Shooting alongside Monsieur E was wonderful, it's not often I get to work with male models and Carl shot this to perfection! He directed us both really well but also gave plenty of freedom for our input on poses. We shot a variety of art nude, dance/gymnastics and erotica throughout the day and the images looked incredible on the back of the camera!

On the second day I modelled solo. We shot ballet/dance styles, I did a self-tied rope suspension transition sequence and then we did a whole series of pool work. We started by doing some suspension work above the water, followed by mermaid fun in the pool and finally shot under water!

I think it's safe to say we covered a wide range and the shots looked incredible! It did all come at quite a cost to my body though - never before have I had to book an emergency sports massage due to an inability to move properly following a shoot! But hopefully all worth it to get some amazing and unique shots!

Carl really is a master of lighting and continuously produces very high standards of work, that and his enthusiasm for what he does makes such a great working environment and I highly recommend shooting with him!

Thanks again, I very much look forward to seeing the results!

So! I finally got to shoot with Carl after talking about to for ages! It was decidedly worth the wait! I was prepared to work my ass off to get some cracking shots and I hope I did!

After a lot of laughs, sweat and the very encouraging cry outs of Carl, I think we ended up with some pretty damn good shots!

He definitely increased my ambition to involve myself into more aerial training in order to do more crazy stuff next time!

I loved shooting with you, Carl. You’re tremendously motivational, kind, fun to be around and just my type of a perfectionist!

Would shoot anytime without hesitation.

Finally got to shoot with Carl after a long wait and boy was it worth the wait.Carls Communication was very prompt with any questions i had.This was my first duo shoot with a male model Mr.NPR so i was a little nervous.

I arrived at Carls amazing place where i was greeted by the man himself.

He showed me around his fantastic studio then We had a chat before we started to get to know each other and to discuss on what we would start with first.

We started with a 50 shades theme and by the end of the set i was comfortable enough to get into the erotic art nude theme.Carl always made sure i was ok asking before Nicky and i did our pose.

I found Carl very imaginative always thinking of how to get the most from our poses with a little direction from him Mr NPR and i was able to pull it off.

I found the few hours i was there just flew by so quick,i could have gone on a bit more but sadly it had to come to an end.

Carl is such a delightful,friendly and one creative photographer which i`m so pleased to have him on my portfolio. I seriously can not wait to see these images again.

Looking forward to working with him again in November ;)

Very Highly Recommended !! Thank you for an amazing shoot Carl

2018 Goals hit list Check..

Completed one of my objective's of my modelling career this saturday just Gone.

From start to finish he was polite and such a gentleman, he made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived at his studio where he kindly allowed me to stay over night in and wow it is a beautiful place.

Carl has a amazing personality is so fun and I can’t begin to express how much I enjoyed shooting with him.

I will allow the images we have created together speak for themselves!...

This man is not just a photographer he's very much the artist. His imagination is broad and dynamic, Extremely passionate.

He allowed me to freely create pose's but gave instruction where he felt it was needed. We did some solo stuff which i am uber excited to show you all. And then we moved on to creating amazing erotica with Jackie R.

I believe he allowed our passion and expression attitudes to show throughout the whole day.

Top communication,safety and professionalism . 110% recommended.

Till our next shoot. Eagerly awaiting 👊👌

Had my first shoot with Carl today and I loved every second. We met up previously and he showed me the studio and what could be done with it, as well as discussing ideas.

The actual shoot flew by, Carl was such a delight, very friendly and was full of ideas and poses. Together we created wonderful images as well as having great fun.

Couldn't recommend him enough, and I look forward to the next time!

What a blissful 2 days!!! I had a brilliant yacht based shoot followed by an exciting Harley Davidson shoot with Adam540 at his gorgeous studio. As always Carl was super friendly and considerate, highly professional and fun to work with. I know there will be loads of fantastic images to dramatically enhance my portfolio which I cannot wait to see. As always Carl kindly made use of and complimented the outfits, props and accessories that I brought with me.

As usual Carl's images made me look much better than I look in the flesh, so I love working with him!!!

I cannot wait to work with Carl again in September.

Extremely HIGHLY recommended!!! Thank you for the fantastic 2 days!!!

Eagle Eye

I need to start by saying this was my first duo studio shoot so was a little nervous working with one of the top photographers like Carl straight off but I needed to have worried.

The consummate professional he explained everything, provided copious amounts of coffee and then we set up the props (my bike) for the shoot with the stunning Aya.

I enjoyed every moment and in addition learned a hell of a lot about modelling, what makes a good pic before it’s even been taken and how to work with another model.

Hopefully there will be future opportunities to add to today’s amazing experience.

Thank you again Carl, thoroughly enjoyable with an education thrown in.

Always a bluddy pleasure working with Carl! He most definitely brings out the best in me annnnnnd my BUM!... a man of many talents I must say! We bounce of each others energy and the pictures certainly show!

WOW if only I could work with him everyday, that’s all I say!

Your very lucky if meet Mr Grim!

What a Sunday meeting with Mr Grim again.

It is not just about his amazing work, but the way he is welcoming me each time I meet him.

He is one of those kind and welcoming people who I rather keep close to me as well as a friend and a photographer. Hope this makes sense,...? Hehe

Looking forward to work with him again hopefully soon or next year again.. :-)

Chelz is that incredibly crazy chick☯️☯️☯️☯️

I’m just back from spending 2 days with The Master of Photography and lighting the man himself Mr Carl Grim !!!

I’m still buzzing from our whirlwind 2 days together.

I asked Carl if there was anything specific he’d like me to bring down . I bought a pair of now what I call. Carl’s killer heels. OMG my heels got so much attention from Carl. Probably more than me lol. They took centre stage in the studio.

When I was with Carl 8 months ago I thought we shot the best Fine Art Erotica/Fetish we could possibly do. How wrong was I !!

This time we stepped up our levels of excellence in Fine Art Erotica by 100 % . We took our shoot to another dimension which was by far better than our first shoot . All shot in the best possible way . The lighting set up for each set was absolutely perfect . So with my case of new shiny props, outfits and Carl’s killer heels we set about creating outstanding images . From what I saw at the BOC. WOW !! Just f..king WOW. I’m gobsmacked again . Mind you nothing surprises me with Carl. I know he’s a master at photography as well as his lighting skills.

I absolutely love working with Carl. He truly brings out the best in me . All the muscle wrenching poses are most definitely worth doing to create the best images . Carl knows I don’t like sub standard images. He brings the best out in all the models he works with .

Carl you really are in my eyes best of the best when it come to photographers. Thank you so much for hosting me again for 2 days . What else can I say that others haven’t !!!. Carl is a genius in every aspect . A real gentleman a professional and a bloody great laugh .

We’ve booked in another 2 2 day sets which I can’t wait to do now .

Had my first shoot with Carl last week after waiting 9 months....and boy was it worth the wait. His studio is awesome I've never seen anything like it, and probably won't again! I can see why he is the master, I loved every image I saw and they made me cry (in a good way 😊) If you are a photographer and want to see the magic he makes, book one of his tuition lighting days, you won't regret it! Already looking forward to our next shoot, the bar has been set......

Second shoot with Carl today which was lovely. We tried a few new things to ensure our second time round was a totally new experience and I'm very excited to see the final outcome! Easy breezy shoot, Carl has wonderful manners even when bringing a fetish element to our photos. Very recommended.

Mishball

Carl is a truly wonderful photographer with such talent and skill. This was my second shoot with him and we created many beautiful images together, which I can't wait to post.

His knowledge of various lighting techniques is second to none, and he is an incredible person to learn from. Not only is Carl great at what he does, he's also full of compliments - you know when you're doing something right, as his enthusiasm comes bursting out.

Thank you for working so hard and for all the effort you put in during our shoot. :)

Blue Smoothy

I had a wonderful three days shooting a variety of themes with Carl. We covered everything from duo and erotic through to flour and food, combined with a few shots out on his beautiful yacht.

He is a dream to work with and knows how to create shots which are on the edge, but not over it. With so much passion he works hard to produce awesome shots and provides constructive criticism when needed to perfect shots.

There are so many ideas in the back burner and I cannot wait to work with Carl again.

Thank you so much, looking forward to the next one! :D

I worked with the famous Carl Grim on my recent travels! After admiring his work from afar for many years- It was lovely to be able to arrange a date and match our diaries up!

Carl is SUCH a character- FUN, super creative and LOUD (like myself!) i really enjoyed his energy and spirit, which I found very positive, upbeat and created a really good momentum to the shoot!

I wasn't feeling 100% with my health and I was made to feel very welcome which I really appreciated, thankyou.

Carl also had the lovely ElaineBlue staying, who was a complete hoot to work with- and such good company!! I really loved our spontaneous duo work together and her company, I would love for us all to team up together again in the future!

Carl gives FANTASTIC and POSITIVE direction to the model to make the very best of their angles- I enjoyed his input and appreciated it. I have to admit I do find direction tough at times, as I am very much in my "own world" and used to my own repertoire of posing, but I genuinely find GOOD direction like Carls refreshing.

I also really loved his studio (Large converted barn!) set up. The lighting and equipment was superb. We also did a very spontaneous outdoor flour shoot one evening after a studio day of mine which I loved too! I stayed over in the Barn (next door to Carls home) during my stay and very much enjoyed my stay.

The couple of days were very enjoyable and I would love to return- in fact I am in a few months!

Highly recommended and see you soon! Thank you Carl :) Helen Diaz x

In the words of James Brown Good Gosh! what a brilliant shoot! have just had an amazing day collaborating with the incredible Melany once again and awesome talents of Carl Grim.

This was a truly awesome experience with a vintage Jag a delightful Melany and an education from Carl on lighting and it's advantages.

Carl is a true gentleman we worked hard and produced pure magic if you ever get a chance to work with this genius I totally recommend him I can't wait to work with you again Carl it was a total pleasure .

I had my second shoot with Carl today and we were joined by the very talented Retro Rob. This shoot was long awaited and we’d done a fair bit of planning and prep between us all, so we hit the ground run with an awesome sequence using Carl’s stunning classic Jag.

We worked through a series of art nude sequences and both Rob and I were thrilled to bits with what we were seeing on the back of the camera. Carl is a lighting genius and really knows how to get the best pose from a model. He’s also highly skilled at duo work which can often be tricky to get right, however Carl captured some fantastic images of us and I can’t wait to see the final pics.

Thank you Carl for hosting such an amazing day at your awesome studio, and I’m already looking forward to our next shoot in a few months time :)

Just got back from my first and hopefully not my last shoot with Carl... and wow! I will definitely be sleeping tonight! Haha!

What a place! Carl has an absolutely outstanding studio full of amazing props, outfits and loads of different sets to choose from. We decided to do some art nude shots on his spiral stair case and then work with his amazing rain set up and I’m amazed at the images and that’s only on the back of the camera so far!

Carl is wonderful to work with, bursting with energy and he ensures every shot is perfectly lit and he made sure I posed the way the works best for me.

Could not recommend him more and can’t wait to work with him again! Thanks Carl x
