Mark reached out to me as he had seen my photos, after taking at look at his work I didn't hesitate in accepting a shoot with him as his work looked amazing.

Communication was spot on. We discussed the kind of shot that I was happy to do and he didn't push my boundaries.

On the day Mark made me feel very comfortable and his experience and skills made me very relaxed on the shoot. We stated off in his home studio then ventured down to the beach.

I had an amazing time and we got some great shots. It would be great to work with with him in the future. Woukd highly recommend working with Mark

Thank you for a great day.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Mark on multiple one to one projects at Sowton Studio, so I was thrilled when he messaged to book me and Carla Monaco for our duo modeling day.

Mike is a fantastic photographer who is incredibly easy to work with, creating a relaxed environment where models can freely contribute ideas and concepts throughout the shoot.

He even brought along some lovely props, including feathered boas, which made the session even more enjoyable.

Mike is a talented photographer and a joy to collaborate with!

I’m more than happy to highly recommend him.

It was great to with Mark again after several years from first shooting together.

So I was delighted when Mark booked onto mine and Irida's duo shoot at Sowton Studios in Devon.

Mark was super to shoot with, very chilled, relaxed and creative throughout. We all had a good chat and giggle, as well as shooting some lovely styles in the studio.

Thank you for a great shoot.

I will look forward to the next one.

Best

Mark booked me for a shoot in his home studio and from start to finish, his pre shoot communications were great, responding well to my questions and then providing me with some styling options.

He provided me with clear instructions and was ready to go upon my arrival, so after a brief chat we jumped straight into it. He was polite, professional and friendly and we worked our way through the various sets he had planned. Mark was respectful of me at all times and I felt very comfortable working with him.

He was very confident with his lighting, happily adjusting as and when needed.

He's got a great eye for photography which is clear to see in his stunning images. He was super easy to work with and he was open to my ideas too.

I'd happily recommend Mark and look forward to shooting with him again. Highly recommend!

Thankyou for an amazing shoot!

I had my second shoot with Mark in his amazing home studio!

Mark is such a lovely, kind, and friendly person. The whole shoot was filled with fun and creativity. He encouraged me to choose the outfits and be creative, and he had so many great ideas and setups as well! I think we made a great team!

The atmosphere during the shoot was fantastic! We had lively conversations, I was free to pose as I wanted, and we had a lot of fun. At the end of our shoot, Mark was so kind to treat me to a nice lunch and even helped with my heavy bag.

After the shoot, he sent me some edited photos that look fantastic.

I was so happy we got to work together again! It was such a great shoot, and I hope to work with you again soon! Thank you!

Mark reached out as I had a casting in his area.

Pre comms were spot on, We discussed ideas and I could tell it was going to be a great shoot. We had ideas ready and on arrival, Mark had lots set up.

Mark is a joy to work with, he has a creative mind and expresses it well through Photography. He is an absolute gentleman and has a great sense of humour, he is a joy to be around.

Thank you Mark for a great first shoot. I look forward to working with you again soon.

Very highly recommend by me

I worked with Mark at Rawpics Studio when he booked a place for a group shoot I organised. Mark was charming, very easy to get along with, had many great ideas and knew what he wanted and how to achieve it, a competent photographer with an eye for good taste.

He introduced props and ideas to get something a little different and that's always fun and makes for an original photo. He worked well within the group and we had time good conversations too.

I have no hesitation recommending Mark to others and hope we get an opportunity again in the future.

・Thank you very much Mark.

・Much appreciated.

I had a great day shooting with Mark both at his home studio and at the local beach.

We captured some great shots at the beach location and had the luxury of his camper van for changing, hair and make up alterations and for tge odd rest from the elements.

Mark is great company and we covered many sets at two local locations and then at his studio.

Looking forward to the next shoot and the images are looking great to boot!

I had a second shoot with Mark while accommodated at his home studio. He looked after me well. He was considerate for me. We stuck to the plan made the day before to do shoot an expensive dress as well as gobo lighting and a swing he hasn’t used in a long time. I enjoyed the shoot even more than the shoot before, so before you know it is was over. I felt comfortable up to open leg infront of this good director. I direct myself too which most togs prefer. He taught me to smile more, as I apparently have a mona lisa enigmatic smile, mysterious like I know something others don’t. He was easy to chat to and didn't push my limits. Recommending this generations of experience photographer to other models.

I had my first shoot Mark in his home studio as kindly accommodated by him for nearly a full week. Great hospitality skills from him. He is a good guy for committing to this so often. It takes a very thoughtful ad patient person to do such a thing. He is also great at welcoming other togs into his home showing them around with no issues. When it comes to shooting in his own studio he knows exactly how to use his lights and camera and props and other equipment. If the model shows enthusiasm then Mark is enthusiastic too. We did what we planned, dark photos with a throw as well as in a chair and also body scape. I enjoyed shooting with him directing me and saying when I was doing good poses of my own too. He is a genuine photographer who only works to the models agreed limits prior to shooting, which as a result of that puts you at ease and makes the model who doesn’t do high levels feel comfortable. Just because a photographer has done much higher levels with other models than what you have done, doesn’t mean they will expect or ask them of you. Thank you Mark. Highly recommended

Mark guided me through my first solo photo shoot this month. I had a wonderful time and felt very happy with how the day went and the results. Thank you for letting me come to your home studio! Highly recommended all round, I was well looked after and had full input to what we did. I look forward to working with him again ♥

At long last I had my first shoot with Mark it had been a long time in the making! We had met several times at the Creative Collective Events and we finally managed to arrange a shoot.

Mark has a great studio space and props and a room for the model to change in.

Mark is very generous with cups of tea and coffee throughout the shoot, and time went very quickly.

Mark is a pleasure to work with, he is warm, friendly and very easy to talk to. Mark shows you the images that he has taken and makes sure that you are happy with them. Mark really is a delight to work with.

I highly recommend working with Mark, he is professional and thoughtful and has great ideas.

Thank you Mark, I will look forward to working with you again x x

Another amazing shoot with Mark! We laughed and chatted the whole way through.

He worked through his ideas as well as letting myself and my model friend work through our ideas too! The images looked great on the back of the camera so I'm dying to see them properly in person!

Mark was also very happy to help with creating some images for my upcoming book series and helped to find the right poses and angles!

Definitely recommend and will definitely shoot with him again ❤️
