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!

Thanks for all your great feedback. It's always nice to hear positive reviews on my work.


I really appreciate you guys taking the time out to post on here too :)

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.

    • This thread brings back hazy memories from the early to mid-90s of a wine shop / off licence off Lordship Lane run by a bibulous chap who specialised in East European wines. It wasn't on a parade of shops but was on maybe Whateley Rd – or possibly Goodrich?? I used to walk past it when heading home from work and would drop in for a cheap bottle of Hungarian plonk. Someone tell me I'm not dreaming this... 🙂
    • The river Peck is partly underground if you live near the park and on its route
    • I have spent many years pondering the state of dampness in my basement and had composed a long and rather boring reponse. Have reduced it to bullet points: The cause of damp on the common wall with my neighbour was found to be caused by a slow leak their side which they were unaware of. Leak was repaired and dampness subsided. An experienced drainage man told me there are no underground rivers in East Dulwich My damp patches come and go and are more prevalent in summer when the humidity is high and barely there during the winter. I was considering getting a dehumidifier until I read they can suck the water out of walls/floor and make the problem worse.  
    • Thank you all for your input- we had the children with their mother for a few days. individually the children went out - one  to the theatre and Camden Market and Horniman's. The other to the transport museum and Leicester Square (could not get in to the Lego place so went into M & M place) also Dulwich Park with his Aunty and cousin. My daughter is a special needs teacher in Sussex and even though schools have closed, she had  to work 2 days (INSET Days)  one day she had a 3 hour zoom call with her colleagues as could not find a child minder, so worked from home, the next day the 9 year old spent the day with friends so she could go to work. At least with us she could get some respite from child care. After much negotiation, their father in Liverpool  has managed to get some leave from his new job for 2 weeks. My daughter will drive them to Oxford where Dad will pick up. This gives my daughter a few days  without children to catch up with various friends in the Midland's and Yorkshire. I will search the science school link as above as there maybe something in the October or February Half Terms which we could enrol the 9 year old in. We try to support our 3 daughters with child care but most of the grandchildren are grown up which leaves us with 9,11 and 15 year olds. We have not been asked to look after the 6 year and 3 year old great grandchildren - !!! We are firm believers that grandparents should be active in their grandchildren's lives and offer support where they can. I looked after my eldest granddaughter when she was a baby and toddler one day a week so my daughter could work. My granddaughter is now 26 and we are very close as she is the only one living in London. The others are scattered around Kent, Sussex and Essex.
