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. Within my main business, I shoot mainly weddings & family portraits & kids etc. I also do a little commercial photography.
I started doing the models stuff initially as a hobby. I hope I shoot nice images! I'm based in Radstock, Bath & North East Somerset, UK
MODELS.......ALL OF MY SESSIONS ARE DONE TO A MINIMUM LEVEL OF TOPLESS & ARTISTIC NUDE.
I normally only undertake shoots on a TFCD basis. I will supply 15 low res digital files for publication on here or any other site. These will be emailed through to you. The pictures that I take will be used on my model register web site & MAY be offered for sale, as limited edition fine art prints
Please, please show up or at least let me know you can't come before hand phone, text, email it's any polite. If you do NOT without a good excuse I will not work with you again.
PLEASE NOTE……TFCD WORK: I will provide the 15 files, You WILL NOT receive the entire shoot on CD. If you want the whole shoot, (or some additional files or prints) that's fine but I will charge accordingly to cover my costs.
If you fancy a shoot, let me know & I will get in touch, (please give me an email address & mobile phone number) when I know the exact date, when it will be here.
PHOTOGRAPHERS.....I have a fabulous studio & offer it for hire. 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 members on this site.
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. I have found that for inexperienced photographers, it’s an ideal way to start shooting glamour, avoiding the embarrassing moments, while you think of what to do next. I will HELP you!
I also organise Studio-Model days.....please email for details of the next one.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
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 “erotic” 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) 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 low res images these are emailed. (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.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I also offer STUDIO HIRE, to photographers. (Profile on purestorm..."MartinChiversStudio) It’s in Radstock (9 miles, south of Bath) & the actual studio is large (27x17 feet) Equipped with 6 studio lights. I also have white PVC, Black & brown hand painted canvas backgrounds. There are numerous props including a double bed, I have a violin to! & plenty of scope. The walls are white (painted plastered) & the floor is laminate. The studio is fully air conditioned. It has a kitchen & plenty of room for models to change, also a dedicated make-up area. There is also a toilet! It’s all on one level. Prices are reasonable, with a minimum of 2 hours, hire. I also give an additional discount to purestorm members. If you’d like any other information, do not hesitate to contact me.

Quote from studio hire or Studio-Model-Days, clients......
"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"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
I will be on hand throughout the day to offer advice where necessary IF YOU WANT OR NEED IT…………………. I WILL NOT interfere with your shoot unless you want me to. However, I do reserve the right to step in, should I feel the need. I will also help you more props around if necessary.
Any queries, just ask!
If you want to book a slot or talk to me regarding any of these things, don’t hesitate to email or ring me, thanks

Just Got back from my first shoot with Martin 'Brides Uncovered'. Martin made me feel at ease immediately, he gave such a warm welcome and introduced me to all the studio areas and his ideas and aim before the shoot. His communication skills are wonderful. Martin has such a passion for his photography and his aim for an image. The Studio is beautifully set up with inumerable props, furniture and so on. The set up was excellent Martin really thinks about the 'whole' picture, every detail is thought through. His direction is very good and he encourages you throughout shooting to make you look your best. I was very pleased to work with him and would highly recommend him. I hope to work with him again in the future.

Martin is a very creative and enthusiastic photographer. He was really good at directing me and very encouraging, saying the photos were great and that the poses/facial expressions were effective.
He was very considerate- like giving me a pillow to kneel on because my knees were sore and a friendly man to work with.
The result of the test shoot was some really great photos. Models- you can get fantastic shots with Martin and photographers- you can learn a lot from him.

Spent 2 hours with Martin to help develope my understanding and skills with photoshop.
This was my first session and I fully intend to have follow up sessions over the coming months.
Like many, I suspect, I hate reading manuals and have limited attention for the more mundane aspects of photography. But in this first session I have been left with many great ideas that will undoubtedly help in work flow and frankly getting more out of the equipment and software that I have invested in. Simply invaluable!

Hope to get the chance to work with Martin again in the future..

I am currently having tuition under Martin, and all I can say is that he is simply excellent. If you have any doubts that you are not fulfilling your potential, book a session with Martin and you will not be disappointed......Money well spent.

I shot in Martin's studio a short while ago. It is a great little studio with good facilities and various props. Martin is friendly and happy to offer as much or as little advice as desired.
I hope to shoot again there soon.

Had a great shoot with Martin , lovely guy made me lots of cups of coffee and made me feel at ease , happy to give direction and very creative. Loved the images. Highly recomended !
------------------------------------------------------------------
I spent 2hrs at Martins doing a shoot with one of his models. In those 2hrs I learnt various lighting techniques including how to set the camera!! The last time I used a studio I was shooting film, a very long time ago. If you're looking for a studio to use and someone to help I would recommend Martin. He also holds studio days and does tuition on Photoshop, my next step. He also has some top models available.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Myself and Tiffany T booked Martins studio in the week and enjoyed 3 hours of excellant hospitality.Plenty of sets to choose form,lots of room and some good tuition too.Being new to this type of photography i learned a lot during those 3 hours and we came away happy bunnies
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Had a 2hr shoot at Martins studio near Bath. I hadn't used a studio in years. The last time I was shooting on film.
Martin was on hand to help set up the studio and even your camera.
Friendly and helpful guy. He also has some fantastic models in his agency.

I booked a studio session with a model (paige) with Martin recently and found the experience to be excellent, Martin has a wide range of models and studio equipment which allows amateur and novice to really explore lighting and modelling in a friendly and constructive environment. I highly recommend anyone wanting to have a go with studio photography and fashion/glamour photography to speak to Martin and to book his studio.
Kind regards
Antony

Have just returned from my first (and hopefully not my last) shoot with Martin at his studio.
Martin was an absolute pleasure to work with, had an abundance of ideas for us to try but also allowed me freedom of expression as well, a perfect combination.
Can't wait to see the images.
Many thanks for a great day .

I had a great day at MartinChivers studio. First I had a shoot with Martin himself, & had some truly amazing/arty pics from a very short time we had together, before I had a shoot with another photographer while there & we were both very impressed with the studio, the layout, props, lighting & the help received from Martin to get the best out of the shoot & the studio. Thank you Martin. TiffanyT x

I did a shoot with Martin yesterday and it was fantastic!
The pre-shoot communication was well kept, he was very easy to talk to and quick to reply to any questions I had. He owns a fabulous, well established studio which made me feel very comfortable from the moment I walked in.
Throughout the whole day it was very relaxed and a fun atmosphere to work in.
I would highly recommend any model to work with him and I cant wait to work with him again.
Thanks again Martin x

Gave Martin a visit at his superbly equipped studio in Radstock to talk through lighting, lenses and whole bunch more. Really helped me cut through the jargon and gave me loads of hints tricks and general advice. After just over an hour I was shooting at a whole new level. Thanks for your well presented and clear guidance.

Just Got back from my first shoot with Martin 'Brides Uncovered'. Martin made me feel at ease immediately, he gave such a warm welcome and introduced me to all the studio areas and his ideas and aim before the shoot. His communication skills are wonderful. Martin has such a passion for his photography and his aim for an image. The Studio is beautifully set up with inumerable props, furniture and so on. The set up was excellent Martin really thinks about the 'whole' picture, every detail is thought through. His direction is very good and he encourages you throughout shooting to make you look your best. I was very pleased to work with him and would highly recommend him. I hope to work with him again in the future.

Martin is a very creative and enthusiastic photographer. He was really good at directing me and very encouraging, saying the photos were great and that the poses/facial expressions were effective.
He was very considerate- like giving me a pillow to kneel on because my knees were sore and a friendly man to work with.
The result of the test shoot was some really great photos. Models- you can get fantastic shots with Martin and photographers- you can learn a lot from him.

Spent 2 hours with Martin to help develope my understanding and skills with photoshop.
This was my first session and I fully intend to have follow up sessions over the coming months.
Like many, I suspect, I hate reading manuals and have limited attention for the more mundane aspects of photography. But in this first session I have been left with many great ideas that will undoubtedly help in work flow and frankly getting more out of the equipment and software that I have invested in. Simply invaluable!

This was my first session and I fully intend to have follow up sessions over the coming months.
Like many, I suspect, I hate reading manuals and have limited attention for the more mundane aspects of photography. But in this first session I have been left with many great ideas that will undoubtedly help in work flow and frankly getting more out of the equipment and software that I have invested in. Simply invaluable!

Had a great shoot with Martin today. He had lots of great ideas and was happy to accomodate any ideas I had of my own. Gives great direction in a very friendly and encouraging way which made the shoot a lot of fun!
He has a great studio with lots of space, props, lights etc. which made the whole experiece more exciting and we managed to get some really great shots.
He was great with communication and timing and I would highly reccommend him to any model with all different levels of experience.
Thanks again Martin! GenEvil

I had a fantastic shoot with Martin yesterday.
He is well organised, with some fantastic ideas, very easy going. The hard bit is choosing from so many fantastic images. Would definately reccommend to all models.
Hope to get the chance to work with Martin again in the future..

Just had a great studio shoot at Martin's studio, with Slinky. It was a great experience, and Martin was always on hand with suggestions, props and lighting adjustment.
I would highly recommend the studio and Martin to both models and photographers.

I am currently having tuition under Martin, and all I can say is that he is simply excellent. If you have any doubts that you are not fulfilling your potential, book a session with Martin and you will not be disappointed......Money well spent.

Had a great shoot with Martin , lovely guy made me lots of cups of coffee and made me feel at ease , happy to give direction and very creative. Loved the images. Highly recomended !
------------------------------------------------------------------
I spent 2hrs at Martins doing a shoot with one of his models. In those 2hrs I learnt various lighting techniques including how to set the camera!! The last time I used a studio I was shooting film, a very long time ago. If you're looking for a studio to use and someone to help I would recommend Martin. He also holds studio days and does tuition on Photoshop, my next step. He also has some top models available.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Myself and Tiffany T booked Martins studio in the week and enjoyed 3 hours of excellant hospitality.Plenty of sets to choose form,lots of room and some good tuition too.Being new to this type of photography i learned a lot during those 3 hours and we came away happy bunnies

Had a 2hr shoot at Martins studio near Bath. I hadn't used a studio in years. The last time I was shooting on film.
Martin was on hand to help set up the studio and even your camera.
Friendly and helpful guy. He also has some fantastic models in his agency.

I booked a studio session with a model (paige) with Martin recently and found the experience to be excellent, Martin has a wide range of models and studio equipment which allows amateur and novice to really explore lighting and modelling in a friendly and constructive environment. I highly recommend anyone wanting to have a go with studio photography and fashion/glamour photography to speak to Martin and to book his studio.
Kind regards
Antony

Have just returned from my first (and hopefully not my last) shoot with Martin at his studio.
Martin was an absolute pleasure to work with, had an abundance of ideas for us to try but also allowed me freedom of expression as well, a perfect combination.
Can't wait to see the images.
Many thanks for a great day .

I had a great day at MartinChivers studio. First I had a shoot with Martin himself, & had some truly amazing/arty pics from a very short time we had together, before I had a shoot with another photographer while there & we were both very impressed with the studio, the layout, props, lighting & the help received from Martin to get the best out of the shoot & the studio. Thank you Martin. TiffanyT x

Had a great shoot with TiffanyT at Martin's studio today. Plenty of facilities and sets, and Martin was very helpful to ensure that I got great lighting and tried out some different lighting effects. This meant that I got some great photos and some different photos too, so highly recommend this studio for a shoot either as a photographer or a model.

I did a shoot with Martin yesterday and it was fantastic!
The pre-shoot communication was well kept, he was very easy to talk to and quick to reply to any questions I had. He owns a fabulous, well established studio which made me feel very comfortable from the moment I walked in.
Throughout the whole day it was very relaxed and a fun atmosphere to work in.
I would highly recommend any model to work with him and I cant wait to work with him again.
Thanks again Martin x

Gave Martin a visit at his superbly equipped studio in Radstock to talk through lighting, lenses and whole bunch more. Really helped me cut through the jargon and gave me loads of hints tricks and general advice. After just over an hour I was shooting at a whole new level. Thanks for your well presented and clear guidance.
