- REVIEWS:
MMA Legacy ~ IMDB Link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1285178/ with Director James Hergott ~ Mary L. Carter is a very gifted talent who has an eye for the moment and brings out the best from her subjects. ~ James Hergott
Wife of an Emmy and Oscar award winning sound editor: When I showed my headshot to a casting producer whom I really trust, she said, "This is one of the best headshots I've ever seen". Since impressing the casting community is the first step to a career in the industry, I'd say you can't get much better than a response like that. And you can't go wrong with Mary's work. ~ Nancy Minkler
One picture they say is worth a 1,000 words. So check out the pics she took of me during a spoken word performance ~ I think it truly catches what I was feeling at the time. Good Luck Mary. Peace. ~ TianaMarie
Mary has time and again proven herself both on & in the field.Able to coax & capture all the frantic, frenzied, manic bliss of life... Why would you give a part of your soul to anyone else? ~ the KILN
Mary Carter is a dynamic photographer with an artistic flare. Every time I work with her, Mary tends to bring the best out of me. Whether it be by her direction or her intimidating eyebrow lift, working with her is productive and such a pleasure. ~ Temphest Blue
Mistress Mary knows how to capture more than just a picture. Being able to connect with each person to show their true side mixed with Mary's creativity brings each photo to a level of art that needs no explanation. She is and has been the only person I feel most comfortable and secure with to truly capture me. ~ Charity
I live and work in Hollywood as an actor and DJ, I can honestly say that the pictures I took with Ms. Carter have earned me thousands of dollars! She is professional and REAL and a very giving person in her art form. Our session was quick and effective and a joy for me. I used her photo as my main headshot and have secured work with CSI: NY, NCIS, and the new Night Rider series after our shoot. Give to Mary and she will give back! It is hard to put into words how effective she is in executing a photo session that truly serves her clients... Worth every minute and dollar! I love you Mary - may all your dreams come true :-) ~ DJ BenThere - get "TRUNK MUZIK" by ZONE
You allow for the subject matter's own personality to shine through with a style that is the marriage of pop culture, pin up art and photo journalism creating visual poetry. ~ Miss Ivonne!!!
She took great pictures of a poetry slam I attended and took really good pictures of Jon B. at his Icehouse concert :) ~ KNOWLEDGE the Wordsmith
She is an easy and fun photographer to work with and the results are always amazing. She knows her way around a camera and will make sure you look your best on film. ~ Patrick
"Mistress" Mary L. Carter captures her subjects with a sharpness and a clarity that encapsulates the brilliance of crystal and the crispness of clear. Mary works "elbows-deep," never afraid to get a little dirty (or put herself into pain, as when she had both her knees in casts) to get the perfect angle, which inevitably leads to the perfect shot. Not merely a photographer, but an artist, Mary L. Carter works magic with her lenses; whether you are in need of head-shots or your next event documented, Mary L. Carter is the charismatic, put-you-at-ease photographer you want behind the view-finder. ~ Bibulous Bargains
