My clients say …
“Loved working with Max today!. Max did my Actor headshots. He was very professional, very kind and made me feel at comfortable (this was my first ever photoshoot) whilst taking the photos (I don’t usually like having my pictures taken 🫣). He was accommodating of my knee injury and didn’t have me standing for too long.” Drama student Casey Clowes
“I recently worked with Max Marshall to update my portfolio shots, and it was an excellent experience. Max was incredibly professional and generous throughout the process, which resulted in stunning photos. His talent and dedication truly shine through in his work. I would definitely work with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for top-quality photography. A fantastic person and an amazing professional!” Actor Ricardo P Lloyd
