I had a fantastic time shooting with Mark and Olga. Mark had the idea of bringing Olga and I together. It worked. She was amazing to work with. Mark has a superb studio in his home kitted out with anything and everything. It was a very relaxed atmosphere and we created some great shots. We started with a theme and then just brought in impromptu ideas. It worked. There was a great connection all round. Mark is a superb photographer, professional and I would highly recommend him to anyone. I really can't wait to work with him again.

This isn't my first time shooting with Mark and it won't be the last. You are always greeted with a big hug and massive smile and an amazing cup of coffee lol not only can he make a great cup of coffee his jokes and photos ain't half bad lol with all the jokes aside he is an amazing person and photographer and I would always recommend him. It was my first implied shoot and he made it comfortable for me with very little awkwardness at the very beginning and there isn't anyone else I would have done my first implied shoot with!! Thank you again and I can't wait to work with you again xx

FABULOUS first shoot with Brighteyed. Relaxed and welcoming right from when he opened the door. Over a cuppa we chatted, and then went over our shoot ideas. Great well equipped home studio, and I had the use of an ensuite bedroom for changing. Creative shoot with varied concepts, and I think we got great results. Hope to get creative again on a second shoot. Absolutely recommend.

Had my first shoot with mark yesterday. We have been trying to sort a shoot for a while and finally got it booked. Pre communications was brilliant and I felt at ease straight away. Mark was so friendly and the perfect gentleman. I was able to stay which was great for me being so far away.. The images looked amazing and so can't wait to see the finished images. Looking forward to booking our next shoot. Thank you for a great shoot and I 100% recommend shooting with him if you get the chance x

Shot the lovely Ali Brooks at Mark's studio in W-S-M last Thursday. This was the first time I had shot at Mark's and he was very helpful with lighting and advice as some technical difficulties at the start with camera settings were soon resolved.

I really appreciated Mark's help and advice and would recommend him to anyone, as he is always willing to help and give advice on trying different ideas.

Thanks

Mark

This dude is full of energy, life, positivity and ideas among others. He has managed to steer me from my comfort zone to go ahead and arrange a studio day that got fully booked. He is creative, always loaded with ideas plus vibe but above all he is respectful and cheerful. All has been said before so just adding the weight. Thank you Mark.

Another top shoot full of creativity. I absolutely love shooting with Mark and couldn’t recommend enough.

I think we do a great job of keeping our shoots versatile, bringing something new and different with each set.

What a guy! (Also makes a great tea)

Thank you and can’t wait to visit again!

Mark is an open minded and liberal creative who is one of the most popular photographers at the modelling social events and with good reason.

His enthusiasm and passion for photography is no secret and it is mirrored in his diverse portfolio of images. Always imaginative and equally open to new ideas Mark decided that it was about time we unite the male contingent of Bristol Models in a collaboration.

With a small group of us quickly on board with the idea, Mark was proactive in arranging an online forum where we could share thoughts on themes, wardrobe and props. The general consensus was to shoot a combination of corporate and some darker fight club oriented scenes. Soon enough Mark had also booked a studio too.

On the day of the shoot itself, I arrived at 'Studio 58' (my first time there) and the action was well underway. Mark had set up the lighting and backdrops. As the shoot evovled we experimented with a number of scenes and poses across our themes with mixed results.

With all said and done I can tell you that we had fun and we created some images worthy of a billboard for a modern day twist on "The Sweeney" or perhaps a boyband album cover.

Working with Mark again was thoroughly enjoyable and I expected nothing less.

Highly recommended by me!

Had an awesome day shooting with Mark, together with three other male models at Studio58. I haven't done an all male group like that before so it was really interesting and a lot of fun. It's not easy to get four models in one place on the same day to shoot, let alone produce some great results that everyone is happy with. As soon as someone steps off the set another steps up, so Mark didn't get many breaks. Full credit to him, he did a cracking job and everyone was really happy.

And another great shoot with Mark.

Mark attended mine and Elaine’s studio day at Studio 58.

It’s always pleasure to work together with Mark.

Thank you for a great shoot and fun day.

Can’t wait to shoot with you again

Highly recommended

Ooh yes! What a lot of fun! Had an absolutely brilliant shoot with Mark. I do love it when photographers want to do something different and I was very excited when Mark said he wanted to turn his home studio into a water shoot for the day.

I splashed about and we tried various outfits, poses and lighting styles. It was great great fun. He's lovely company and very caring, it was quite cold but he gave me lots of breaks warming up in his lovely sunroom. towards the end of the shoot I was beginning to shake with cold so we packed up and checked out our work on the laptop. What a gem of a chap!

Total gentleman from beginning to end - I highly recommend him to others and really hope I get the chance to work with him again.

Thank you so much

I had the opportunity to work with Mark and what a utter pleasure it was.

We shot at Marks Studio within his home and as a team we created some magical and creative shots through our boho set.

We also ventured outdoors into the beautiful location of UpHill, was totally stunning and created some incredible images.

Mark is a fabulous, professional and all round great human being and would 100% recommend him.

Thanks again Mark, can't wait until next time.

Had a great shoot with Mark ,he made me feel very at home. very considerate of my needs, made sure I was warm and comfortable ,great creativity,and I tried a style using gel lights that I hadn.t done before, which really brought the photos out, in a 3 dimensional effect. Mark was easy going and very happy to show me, as we went along what the photos looked like, and respectful of my levels I would highly recommend him .

I had a lovely shoot with Mark!

He was kind enough to pick me up and drop me back of at my location. He booked a wonderful studio. We where both full of creative ideas. During the shoot Mark was very relaxed and kind and respectful.

Thank you Mark! I Would reccomend you to anyone :)

I was back working in the area and contacted Mark to see if he fancied a cup of tea and a catch up after we had a amazing shoot together a few weeks previous.

Mark had a shoot arranged the following day with the gorgeous Nadia Achha and they kindly invited me to join on a duo fashion/commercial shoot.

WOW... What a team! We clicked instantly and the shoot flowed naturally. Mark paired us perfectly!

More sensational images, and again I had another fab time shooting with Mark - full of laughs :-)

Mark is super professional, talented and has a top eye for details/creative mind.

I'm extremely grateful to have met such a lovely creative, and cant recommend working with Mark enough.

Also thank you to you and Linda for the hospitality.

Cant wait to work with you again soon.
