Martin AKA the master ;)

Martin and I have shot together about ten times now! And I can honestly say, when we set up a shoot I don’t call it work at all! We share amazing creative energy and communication which all in all makes for a fabulous images!

Whenever I have an idea, Martin is without a doubt the first person I call because I know he’s got the skills and the imagination to make something beautiful! Not to mention, he’s also an amazing host and we always have such a laugh ;)

110% recommend Martin!

Shoot with him now!... you won’t regret it.

Yet another amazing shoot with Martin. Everything is always super chilled and he really takes his time making sure the shot is perfect. This always shines through in the final images from the day.

Absolutely love working with Martin and hopefully will work together again soon!

Very highly recommended.

I have shot with Martin quite a few times now and can honestly say I have enjoyed every single shoot. I feel comfortable and respected at all times. I am honoured to have Martin as a good friend. He is very talented and easy to get along with. We always discuss in detail the images we desire in preparation of a shoot. He is very creative and definitely is very knowledgeable when it comes to photography. He knows what looks good and what doesn't.

I am always so excited to see the end result with Martins work as he never fails to dissapoint me with he's post processing. He makes me feel and look absolutely beautiful every time.

He is most definitely someone I want to continue working with throughout my journey as a model and I look forward to a shoot in the near future hopefully if he isn't bored of me yet haha !

There really isn't much need to leave a review..... just take a look at this guy's portfolio and you know straight away that he will add to yours !

Thanks Martin for everything x x x x

After some excellent pre comms, Martin and I met up for a quick get-to-know-you taster shoot today, in preparation for another upcoming shoot we’re planning. I instantly clicked with him as he was so personable and friendly and incredibly easy to work with.

As the conversation flowed, Martin offered lots of tips and advice to help me improve in a genre I’m not overly experienced in. He was so supportive and I learned a lot from his wealth of experience.

I love the images we produced together, and I can’t wait to shoot with Martin again! Thank you so much! :) x

It’s been 4 years but finally got to shoot with Znapps AKA Martin, and what a lovely chap he is. He arrived with a lovely bouquet of flowers and we had a cup of tea before going into our shoot. We focused on the pre Raphaelites ( inspired by the paintings I have up I think ) and we enjoyed shooting just for ourselves getting photos we knew we could be proud of. I can’t believe it’s taken 4 years but it was certainly work the wait, and bless Martin for braving my stressed out moods and actually making me smile and laugh. Thankyou again Martin, it was lovely meeting you, let’s not leave it another 4 years :)

Would highly recommend

I always jump at the opportunity to work with Znapps again. His pre shoot comms are always spot on, and his hosting skills are second to none. I'm always made to feel 100% comfortable and respected, and I feel completely involved in every step of the creative process.

I can't wait to see the finished product! If you ever are lucky enough to get the opportunity to work with this lovely man, do. You will not regret it!

Had my 4th shoot with Martin this week and every time just gets better and better. We shot at he's home in Horsham. We discussed style beforehand and decided to do some implied, sexy and something a little fun.

Having worked with Martin before I feel totally at ease with him and comfortable removing items of clothing he makes me feel totally at ease. Throughout the shoot we laughed, giggled and chatted.

Shoot ran smoothly, Martin is as always a pleasure to work with. Very proud to call him a friend.

The images I've received back so far have been totally amazing and mind blowing. Martin's work is second to none ! My fave by far.so priveledged to have worked with such a lovely guy with an amazing talent

Thanks Martin x x

Znapps attended at one of my tuitions. He is a lovely person and really easy to work with. We also shoot some beauty portraits and he was fast and got some great images.

Definitely recommend.

I responded to Martin's last-minute casting last night and within minutes he had replied with all the info I needed - 10/10 for comms! We spent a few hours roaming around a variety of stunning locations and Martin was a pleasure to work with; he is a genuine, respectful, funny, no airs and graces-kinda guy and I enjoyed myself throughout. Martin has a fantastic eye for colour and composition which resulted in some beautiful images which I'm looking forward to seeing edited. My only complaint is that he left his dog at home so I didn't get to meet him! I guess that's one for next time! A fantastic photographer, a complete gentleman and someone I can recommend without hesitation. I hope our paths cross again soon.

WOW!! What an amazing photographer AND gentleman. Couldn't have had a better day with Martin, he is so respectful, professional and his images are second to none. He made me feel instantly at ease and is a seriously funny guy. His photography speaks for itself and cannot wait to see the final images from our Autumnal shoot!

Wouldn't think twice about recommending him to anyone, for ANYTHING. Thanks so much Martin.

Elegant Eve

I had a fantastic day shooting with Martin today. Truly a professional from the outset and his friendly personality meant I was relaxed and comfortable throughout the day. Fantastic coffee and biscuits.

Love his creativity and use of natural light. Had a fabulous time trying new ideas and looks.

The images are amazing!!

I would relish the opportunity to shoot again with Martin and certainly recommend him to other models.

A massive thanks to you Martin.

Shoot today with Martin,

So after a long morning of travelling, Martin was kind enough to pick me up from the station, cook me lunch and sat down and had a chat about what we wanted to achieve.. instantly I felt like I could relax, Martin is a total gentleman, professional, respectful, a perfectionist, and wonderful company.

Martin had some good ideas of what to do and what would work with me, we tried out some themes and styles I have never done before and kept working until we got the results we wanted! I am 100% happy with how the shoot went and I am literally buzzing to see these images!! Seriously get shooting with Martin because you won't be disappointed! He has a beautiful house, a true eye for a beautiful image, and he is just so easy to work with. I recommend shooting with him so much. I will definitely be coming up to shoot again.

Had my first shoot with znapps, we had spent a week discussing what we would

Like to shoot and organising the wardrobe to suit the themes.

Znapps pre shoot coms were first class, when I arrived at the station he was waiting to pick me

Up, and we just got on so we'll from then on! We shot at his beautiful home which is perfect for natural light, znapps sat down and we discussed what we wanted to get out of today, and then we took our time to work through the many sets that we achieved. Znapps is such a lovely, genuine guy who makes you feel at ease straight away, we had a laugh and a chat over a sandwich!

I'm so thrilled with how today went! I'd been having some super confidence issues and today has just made me feel

1000% better and I have znapps to thank for that!

I'm super excited for the pictures and I'm so happy to recommend this super talented guy!

So - had a few shoots with Martin now and they just keep getting better and better. This time we did some awesome shot around his amazing home.

Pre coms were fantastic, we knew exactly what we wanted to shoot and when I got there Martin picked me up and dropped me off to the station (in his super cool new BMW!) and fed me tea and ice cream!

Martin is a great photographer to work with who is super chilled, friendly and chatty and makes you feel so comfortable.

The shots looked awesome on the back of camera and cannot wait to see the edits!

Very highly recommended!

It was a wonderful photoshoot. In despite of a changing weather, Martin managed to get some amazing pictures. I have seen only a few of them so far, but I am sure the rest are just as fantastic.

I really liked that he considers each shot as a story and adapts the model to it. He is also very good at giving the right directions for poses and looks.

He can capture really good light and is very good at picking places for a shoot.

He was professional and polite during the photoshoot.

I absolutely recommend him for models of any level. Looking forward to working with him again in future.

I had the pleasure of shooting with Martin last week at his very lovely home.

I have put a casting up last week with a spare day and Martin was one of the first to reply. After looking at his profile I did say he was very talented man and was very excited to be working with him.

Martin I had a brief conversation by email and quickly organised a day last week.

Pre-comms works perfect, Martin was so welcoming on arrival at his home.

Straight away we hit it off like old friends having a coffee and a natter.

We flew through ideas and both discussed what we thought might work with my look etc.

Martin is a very relaxed photographer, looking for the right image rather than the quantity of images.

He was professional through and through.

Cannot wait to work with him again! 100% recommended

I had the pleasure of being with Martin again for a 1-2-1 tutorial today. Martin is a very easy going person to be with and a great to be around explaining in depth what he is up to and the reason why.

We shoot natural light and in his Studio with various modifiers and he explained why we were using them and then built up scenes with various techniques. We then headed in to editing and we edited my favourite image and I am still smiling.

I cant thank Martin enough for my tutorial it was a great course to be on and I learnt an awful amount as I did before. Highly recommended

Had a wonderful shoot with Martin recently, Martin knows exactly how to place and pose a model and work with lighting, he was kind enough to show me through styles of posing and he made me feel very at ease.

He is a great photographer who made me feel very welcome and was great company. Thankyou for your wisdom and I look forward to meeting with you again.

Best wishes,

Charlotte xx
