Kit_e_x Well what can I say I’ve admired Martin’s work for a very long time so of course I jumped at the chance to be able to shoot with him. Hair & Make also organised by Martin Clarissa who was amazing such a superb team. We created a variation of different portraits & every single one I was blown away by. Martin had a great sense of humour & a true gentleman we even share the same music taste always a plus great play list by the way ha ha.I highly recommend & looking forward to working with again in the near future. Thank you again Martin
Marie Jean Saxton I got a chance to work with Martin recently… and omg!!! For a fair few years he’s been on my photographer wish list, so I was absolutely over the moon to get to work with him. His work really does speak for itself, beautifully lit, composed and retouched to a very high standard. Usually I’d expect only a couple of images back from a shoot but Martin had been very generous and given me such a beautiful broad spectrum of images to choose from…. Trouble is I literally love each and every one equally! Martin was so easy to work with, he had a wicked sense of humour and pre coms in the lead up to the shoot were spot on. I was well looked after the whole time I was at Zavod and Martin made the shoot so easy, the time flew by! I can honestly say I’m bowled over by the experience and high quality of Martins work and if you get a chance to work with him please do make sure you jump at it because I promise you now that these images will be some of if not THE strongest images in any models portfolio! Thankyou so much for shooting my strange face and giving me images that I will literally treasure for a lifetime, not just as a model, but even as an old crinkly lady in years to come! I wanna do it again! Best wishes Marie X
Xeniamodel Unbelievably lucky to have shot with Martin on two different occasions now. I have met him during CH Event, and just today he has been up to Sheffield to shoot beauty at my studio with myself and three other models. Cannot praise him enough for his attention to detail. He has an incredible vision for styling and is able to pick apart the smallest little features so that they can be improved! Honestly, I don't know many photographers who can or want to do that! His lighting techniques are just altogether unique and provide beautiful results. Besides all of the above, he is professional, polite, easy to work with, and super efficient with the edits. Thank you ever so much for coming and working with me in Sheffield, Martin! Absolutely recommend working with him if you're lucky to get a chance. Until next time, Xenia x
Elle J I had a really great remote shoot with Martin yesterday. I had a new lighting set up so it was great to explore what worked and what didn't. I had managed to borrow a friend's boom arm and it worked so well to be able to create different lighting set ups. Martin was really supportive and helpful with ideas. We managed to do a great number of sets during our shoot and the images look really amazing. Throughout the shoot he was friendly, chatty and a joy to work with. I really enjoyed working with him and I would highly recommend working with him. Thanks so much Martin.
Chiara Elisabetta Oh yeahhhh, Martin contacted me for a remote shoot as I was setting up and getting ready to start accepting them, and I'm so glad he was one of my first, (second ever!) remote shoots as he has the kind of qualities which are so welcome when you're still finding your way in the dark a little - patient, easy-going, funny, down-to-earth.. We had an incredible shoot - not just in terms of stunning photographic results, but a great chat afterwards and an amazing rapport, just like it would be on a shoot in-person. My shoot with Martin proved to me that you can have just as much of a connection with someone remotely as you can in-person and this is a credit to his warm, friendly, calm & professional nature. I feel happy to have made a great creative friend on the same wavelength - to other creatives, I highly recommend Martin & if he ever offers you a shoot, you'd be MAD DAFT to turn it down! Looking forward to our second remote shoot on the 24th Jan - actually, super duper excited!!
Artemis Fauna I had a great short remote shoot with Martin earlier this month using my new set up here at my home studio. Martin was my second ever remote shoot! As has been said all along, remote shoots are not a replacement for 'in person shoots' but, as has been proved now over and over- they are a fabulous and creative alternative while we are unable to shoot face to face. Although this shoot was mostly to test out my remote set up we got some cracking images in about an hour and a half and I also got my first remote FPI from this shoot so not bad, not bad at all!! Really fun short shoot with some fabulous results. Thanks Martin!!
UK MODEL EVENTS Martin was great to have on our event as a photographer and tutor to all our wonderful clients. We had two fabulous models Jordan Ebbitt and Natasha Oliver. Martin was friendly and sociable! What more could we ask for! He taught all learning photographers about his excellent way of lighting and all photographers have come away today with amazing images! Thanks again so much for today! We look forward to seeing you soon! UME www.ukmodelevents.co.uk
Kate Laura My first shoot with Martin I've wanted to work with him for a good while as we both do a lot of hair work and our styles fit well. We managed to organise a virtual remote shoot when we were locked down in the current situation . Using canon utilities and remote software Martin could control my DSLR with use of all the camera settings and we could shoot from Essex - Yorkshire remotely! We managed to get some amazing images using natural light and my mini studio white walls set up in my living room! Amazing photographer and guy! A million percent recommended by me! Kate

Amie Boulton said... What a legend!!! Martin is one of those photographers who you sit and admire their work and think, wow, how amazing would it be to work with him, so, when he replied to a comment i made on one of his images saying he would like to work with me you can imagine how excited i was and i was not going to miss this opportunity. I arranged to head to London to work with both himself and also the equally talented Iulia David and mua Bryanna for a day of awesomeness and that's exactly what it was! I loved every minute of the day lots of giggles whilst producing some epic work. Martin was a pleasure to model for and the banter always makes a shoot flow easier. I saw the boc's and im super excited to see the final results. I couldn't have wished for a more fun productive day. If you have the chance to work with Martin....snap it up and don't miss your chance!! Thank you for expressing your interest and joining me and Iulia for the day i had a blast Smile Shot 2 months ago

And i felt very lucky to get to be part of it! Martin is such a lovely chap! He is very warm and friendly and so down to earth! I enjoyed his company and really enjoyed being shot by him! It is clear how skilled Martin is - his lighting was without fault today! The shots looked incredible on the back of the camera! It was amazing to see just how awesome an image could be without any retouching whatsoever! I cannot wait to see what the final images look like!! Martin is great an envisaging a shot! His composition is great and he is great at directing models into getting them into that perfect position to really bring the shot he has envisaged to reality! What I also loved was how much respect Martin showed me throughout the shoot! And he made sure I was happy with the shots as well as him before we finished a set! I may add also that he is quick!!

TimeForWhiskey said... Martin and his work is just brilliant. It's even difficult to choose right words to describe it (ok i tryyyy: Freaking amazing, awesome, gorgeous and breathtaking art that inspires , and makes to say wooow continuously). 💕 but anyone who saw his work would now And appreciate it 💖 so let me tell my personal experience about the photo shoot 😊 First of all, i couldn't believe that Martin decided to work with me. In my opinion, he is one of the best photographers in the UK or even more. So i was really excited / scared / nervous and happy all at the same time. Luckily, MUAH Natalie joined the team so i got more confidence (oy i was working with a dream team. Nothing could stop us 😍) . Further, Martin was so lovely and friendly. Although, i saw him just for the first time, i felt very safe, relaxed and just enjoyed lovely atmosphere. I swear, i could even give him my keys of my house or bank details, this is how trustful he came across. P.S. he has a great taste in music too👍 Also, it was easy work for me as Martin directed me with posing. I prepared a million poses in my mind but didnt need anything as Martin could see my best angles without any help. Lastly, it was a really fun photo shoot with lots of laugh, nice conversations and an awesome company. Definetely counting it as one of my greatest achievements (sorry will be bragging about it for a long time) 😜💗 Thank You, Martin, for this an amazing oportunity to be a part of Your art and experience all the process. I'm really calling myself lucky after this. Stay awesome! ❤Bzzzzzzzzz.... 🐝🐝🐝 xx Muchos love, Rosita Shot 7 months ago

I felt very comfortable shooting with him. Martin had a new camera that myself and 2 other models put to good use straight away. We tried out a lot of different style using strong studio lights and then natural light from a window. I saw a lot of the images on the camera and there amazing and barely need editing!! Martin gave me great direction but also allowed me to be free and model my way. I'm so glad I met Martin yesterday, & I would really love to work with him on more shoots! 100% recommended.
