I had the absolute pleasure of working with Craig on my culinary photography project, focusing on creative cuisine for both myself and the restaurant. The experience has been nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning, Craig brought a level of professionalism, creativity, and passion that immediately put me at ease. His ability to understand the vision, pay attention to the finest details, and capture the essence of each dish was truly remarkable. The photographs not only showcased the food beautifully but also conveyed the story, atmosphere, and identity of the restaurant in the most elegant way. Craig has an extraordinary talent for combining artistry with precision, turning every plate into a work of visual storytelling. Beyond his technical expertise in hospitality photography, it was his dedication, patience, and collaborative spirit that stood out. He went above and beyond to ensure every shot reflected exactly what we hoped for — and in the end, he delivered event photography that far exceeded expectations. I am deeply grateful for his outstanding efforts and could not recommend Craig more highly. His fantastic work has added immense value to my project, and I look forward to working with him again in the future.

I wholeheartedly recommend Craig Martin as a photographer. His work is remarkable, speaking volumes without the need for words. He captures the very heart and soul of his subjects, whether it’s people, pets, or creative cuisine. With a keen eye for detail, he breathes life into every shot, making his event photography and hospitality photography truly exceptional, resulting in the very best photography.

We recently hired Craig from CM Photography to cover a live photo shoot at a corporate event in London, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Craig was incredibly professional and discreet throughout the event—so much so that we hardly noticed he was there while we were working on our creative cuisine. The photos he delivered were of outstanding quality, capturing candid moments and behind-the-scenes shots of us preparing dishes with a natural and authentic feel. His expertise in event photography, especially in the realm of hospitality photography, allowed him to blend into the background while still getting the perfect shot. I would highly recommend CM Photography for any photo shoots you need—whether it’s a corporate event, live action, or behind-the-scenes coverage.

Craig was absolutely brilliant at our recent client event held at RAK Ceramics. The vibe was super relaxed, and Craig blended in perfectly, capturing everything from the creative cuisine featured in the stunning canapés and beautifully presented bowl food to the natural, candid moments between guests. His paparazzi-style approach meant nothing felt staged, and the photos truly reflect the atmosphere of the night. We’re so impressed with how effortlessly he worked the room, delivering such amazing shots that exemplify hospitality photography, all without ever being intrusive.

'We have never even thought about discussing getting any professional photos of our 8 year old cocker spaniel done until we saw Craig’s other work, and the beautiful other furry friends he’s spent time capturing. With Miss Murphy he  managed to capture her need to have some fun in the sunshine, as well as her need to share the toys with you! Craig was  kind, patient and always had an extra treat for her in his pocket.

The black and white were stunning and the colour highlight photos made us realise what a special member of our family she is – and how beautifully Craig captured that love forever.

Thank you so much'
