HI -

We all started somewhere! If your planning a shoot, just check out the image quality before you put your hand in your pocket and always check references. Seems to be some very over inflated prices knocking around and some claim to be high profile, where some clearly are not.

Look for some local group shoots to meet others in your area, join more than one site for a peruse.

Never do a TF as a first shoot, take the pressure off and go under your own steam!

As you progress, the worlds yours...

Hi. Just been looking at your stuff. Thought I may be able to offer you some help, in a number of ways. Maybe of no interest to you whatsoever! You may be very advanced in photography & Photoshop & hate studios for all in know!!! If that€™s the case, then, sorry to have bothered you! But, if it is, send me an email. We can have a chat. I am also quite local to you here in Radstock.

Firstly I have a fabulous studio & offer it for hire. You can hire your own model or one from my register. I will be happy to supervise & offer advice if that€™s what you want (or need) but equally happy to go off & work in my office or framing room! Very reasonable rates & an additional discount for Net-Model & Purestorm members. While you have €œstudio€ pictures on your profile, they may well not have been taken in your own studio!

Secondly. I have a model register, (around 38 models) so maybe able to kill 2 birds with one stone.

Thirdly, I offer reasonable rates for Photoshop training & super quality wide format printing.

Fourthly, I organize Studio-Model-Days. These are organized with out of area models, who you may want to work with, but, as a one off (2 hours or so) shoot would be unaffordable, with travel expenses. Details of the next one below.
Maybe have a look at my 2 profiles on purestorm €œmartinchivers€ and €œMartinChiversStudio€

Quotes from studio hire, Model-days & photoshop training clients............

"Had two very useful sessions of Photoshop tuition with Martin, which I now hope to cement with my own purchase of Elements 9. Martin was very helpful, and at the end printed some excellent A4 prints at very reasonable cost€

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

€œAfter four months of studio photography and with eight shoots under my belt I have just had two consecutive days at Martin's studio with two quite different models; and with two more already booked in September. I was very impressed with the way in which Martin enabled me to get on with the shoots, in once sense throwing me in at the deep end, but being there in the background when necessary. The studio has many facilities and I have been particularly attracted to a painted canvas backdrop, which has enabled me to do some vintage lingerie shots to good effect. All this on top of regular visits in which I have managed to become quite versed in Photoshop under Martin's guidance, and the benefit of the many A4 prints he has produced for me. Thanks very much, and I look forward to continuing to use the facilities€

Just had a fantastic studio day shoot, with model Slinky86, at Martin's studio. The studio is very well equipped with a great range of backdrops and high quality props. Martin was very helpful providing as much advice and assistance as required and this enabled me to get a great range of lighting effects. Very highly recommended.


€œMy first visit to Martin's excellent studio and it won't be my last. The studio is very well equiiped with plenty of space and free parking nearby. Martin was extremely helpful throughout my 2 hr shoot with Onabella on one of his monthly studio days. The studio days are very good value and I can definitely recommend them. Thanks Martin - I will be back€
