    Martin was fantastic to work with and really elevated my brand with his photography. He planned the locations, making everything simple and easy - we just had to turn up. The images he created exceeded expectations and perfectly captured the feeling we were going for. I’d definitely recommend Marty to anyone looking for exceptional photography.

    Martin’s photography for our coffee shop was spot on! He captured and edited shots of our staff, bagels, and donuts with minimal brief, nailing the vibe. HIs enthusiasm, knowledge, and friendly demeanour made the shoot enjoyable and stress-free. The photos showcase our brand’s essence, exceeding expectations. Highly recommend Martin’s services for top-notch photography with a personal touch!

    Martin was a real pleasure to work with. I was anxious to be in front of the camera but he put me at ease straight away and I felt relaxed throughout the shoot. He was really patient and came up with ideas I would never have thought of. I now have a really big collection of quality photos that represent my brand perfectly and I’m using them across my website and socials.
