Thanks for having a look at my profile, hope you like the stuff! I have been a professional photographer for 28 years. I have a very nice studio, with great facilities. I shoot mainly weddings & family portraits & kids ect. I also do a lot of commercial photography. Essentually, I do the glamour stuff as a hobby, but obviously if I can make some money that's great!

I have just started running STUDIO MODEL DAYS.
The idea being that I will get initially one model per month, for a whole day shoot & book out the day, in 2 hourly or 3 hourly blocks of time.
The (photographer) client will pay one inclusive fee for the model & the studio. The purpose is to give the client a good shoot, with a good model, for an affordable fee. Levels will be topless/implied nude. I would allow adult, but only if the model is 100% happy to shoot to that level. I will ultimately choose models that I consider the most reliable.
Please email, for a list of dates & models & prices.
I am a photographer, but i also run a very small model agency/register. I will expect all models to sign a model release form. I DO NOT pay models, for shoots under any circumstances. I also DO NOT pay travel expenses, however, more than happy to travel to Bath train or bus station to collect a model traveling to Bath. I have a GOOD make-up artist, available for SOME sessions. I cannot guarantee that she will be available.

I also have a few very interesting locations. I pride myself on helping new models get a foot in the door & most importantly of all, guiding them through the process of getting established without falling into any of the pitfalls of being a new model.

DIGITAL ART shoots......I'm currently looking for a few (female) models, (aged maybe 20 to 40) to undertake a few studio sessions. The pictures are to give me some examples of images for green screen/chroma key. I have a new green screen background. I have a clear idea of what I want to achieve, but welcome some input from the model as well. This will be, nude & with lingerie. The shoots will need to be over the next 2 weeks (weekdays only) & the model will need to be able to arrive at the studio ON TIME! I am also happy to shoot a few specific images for the model, that they want afterwards & accommodate anything you want as well.

I'm also looking for a few (female) models, (aged maybe 20 to 40) to undertake a few studio sessions near Bath in Somerset. The pictures are for my portfolio & for sale on a picture library. I will require that a model release form is signed. I have a clear idea of what I want to achieve, but some input from the model would be good.

These shoots will be €œerotic€� glamour & I am looking to show that bigger girls can be sexy to! (Clothing will be lingerie and I€™m looking for something out of the ordinary, which will have to be supplied by the model, nude & with lingerie. The shoots will need to be over the next 2 or 3 weeks (weekdays only) & the model will need to be reliable & able to arrive at the studio ON TIME! I am also happy to shoot a few specific images for the model, that they want afterwards & accommodate anything you want as well.

I will give 15 images on DVD & small versions emailed first. (They will be heavily corrected/retouched) however, cannot make any financial payment whatsoever. Have a look at my profile & images. There is the possibility of some paid work at some time in the future. If any of these are of interest please email me.

Quote from a studio hire client......"After 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.

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. Once certain technical difficulties have been ironed out I look forward to using the studio for shoots"
