Photographer recommendation


Cassel

Recommended Posts

I just have to tell you about this awesome photographer who recently did me proud with my passport photo - bit vein of me I know but figured I'm going to looking at 'that' photo for the next 10 years -I was delighted with the resulting image taken. I also had a chance to have a peek at his portfolio and it turns out he's very versatile individual, who sets himself very high standards and has a great work ethic in that no job is too small or too big. So if you want to put your project in the hands of a consummate professional who has bags of patience and is very flexible over timings, where you want your photos done etc. etc. then Martin Lea is his name and if you're interested then check out his website: http://www.martinlea.co.uk

Martin came to our family party which was held in our house and garden on a warm summer evening in June.


He got a large number of great images of guests both in groups and more casual photos. He got on well with everybody and many have said what a lovely reminder of the event it gave them. Images were available within a couple of days via a dropbox link which we emailed to partygoers.


Thanks Martin, until next time!

I would also highly recommend Martin Lea. He visited our house for a family photo shoot. We were so pleased with the results. It was very relaxed and Martin captured us just as we had hoped. He was happy to be directed by us but also had great ideas of his own for shots. We had a 4 month old baby and a puppy which did not phase Martin at all!

We have subsequently used Martin for a 40/70th birthday party and a christening, with equally pleasing results.

We found Martin's recommendation on the East Dulwich Forum. We were looking for a photographer for our family gathering to celebrate my mother in law's 90th birthday. Martin came round in advance to see what would suit and then smoothly organised us all into a really wonderful portfolio of mixed family photos on the day. A great, stress free experience with some lovely photos to cherish at the end of it.

This is another recommendation for Martin! I needed a high quality professional photograph taken for work and Martin proved himself to be an incredibly responsive and flexible photographer who clearly cares very much about his work but is friendly with it too, making me feel at ease which is not easy to do as I hate having my photograph taken!

Highly recommend Martin! I needed photos for a couple of projects I am involved in but I don?t like having my photo taken so wasn?t looking forward to it. Martin was highly professional, put my at my ease and the whole process was a lot more relaxed than I had expected. I?m delighted with the photos ? I think Martin took more good photos of me than already exist to date!

We can highly recommend Martin.

We ran a choral evening for the Dulwich Festival recently and Martin came along to take pictures for us and another choir on the night.

We was very easy to deal with and got on with the job on the evening without any prompting. In fact he covered much more than we had hoped and the final images he supplied were fantastic, despite dealing with some tricky lighting in the venue. You can see some of the images at the following link https://www.tongueandgroove.london/who

We would absolutely employ Martin again when we need some more pictures and strongly suggest you do the same.

We wanted some family portrait photography done and Martin was very good in discussing the available options. On the day of the (outdoor) shoot, we were not sure the weather would hold (it didn't) and Martin kindly arranged to reschedule. The 2nd shoot was great and he has managed to capture some excellent photos of us all. Would highly recommend and definitely use again.

Martin took portrait photographs for my choir as well as shots of our summer concert. The pictures were great - no mean feat when trying to organise 40+ people for a group portrait!. The concert shots were varied and gave a good sense of the choir?s ?personality? and also the occasion. We?re delighted, and have already used some on our website and on social media.

    • Just had a carpets cleaned by Steve Nourse and his colleague at short notice. They are lovely guys and the cleaning was quick and carpets look great. Good value. 
    • Looking for tickets for 2 adults one child under 2 and one child over 2. However, please let me know if you have any combination of tickets you are no longer able to use.  Thanks 07756110500
    • all I said was "take a pro cash stance too far" - what twisting have I done?   plenty of good arguments for retention of cash - but let's not get too detached from reality either lest we go back to trading livestock   But to go back to your post DD:   "Or don't stop using cash" Yep plenty of people will agree with this - nothing controversial here   "Stop using your phone or even your watch as a banknote" - getting a bit weird now - why not - it's super convenient for both users and businesses. And far easier to keep a track of your balance using your electronic wallet than old systems of cheques taking days to clear, how much did I take from cashpoint 2 days ago etc. But people will differ so whatever works   "God only knows how much damage we're doing to the planet because all the above must require a hell of a lot of resources and juice from the grid" - big straw man argument here. Why bring this in? Unless you are also suggesting we don't buy any goods not made from within a 5 mile radius and nothing transported by air or sea? "a big lump of plastic with a screen and full of personal information that can be easily gleamed." I've had my phone stolen but nothing was lost because it was secure.I've been mugged and lost cash and valuable. It's not a binary thing   "your sky rocket with a phone in your hand. It's become a source of dopamine for many. It's an addiction for many."  Proper overreaching now There is a reason people like their modern phones - and it isn't just replacing cash. Replacing all of these functions in a tiny device is a magnificent achievement and to just boil  it down to "big lump with a screen" is reductive in the extreme  
    • I agree with the posts that housing is an urgent need in Peckham and throughout Southwark. But as Alice says, it’s the percentage of social / affordable housing that matters. In October last year, there were over 4,200 households on the Council’s waiting list for housing in Peckham alone (over 17 thousand across Southwark). But the developer is only offering 35% affordable housing (which means that 65% will be unaffordable). Both Southwark Council and the GLA say that a big development like this should provide 50% affordable housing.   Re-development of the site is a great opportunity to make the town centre “cleaner, safer and more sustainable and welcoming” (borrowing Nigello’s great words). Is this dense development going to do that, when it provides no real green and open space where people can spend time outside and nature can help us tackle the growing problems of climate change like absorbing flood water, cooling the air on baking summer days? Are 7-storey buildings along Rye Lane (where the average buildings are 2-3 storeys) going to be welcoming to users of the town centre? How will the development impact on Peckham’s economy? Currently there is busy daytime commercial activity of shops providing for different demographics and needs including a rich offering of international groceries and other products, alongside a thriving night-time economy. I can’t see anything in the proposal that suggests how it will enhance and empower the local economy. Yes please, let’s have a great development on this site that enhances the town centre. This means not letting the developer get away with packing people into dense blocks that turn their back on the town centre and which will be a recipe for urban decay in the long run. Peckham deserves better than this!
