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.

Nadia Achha

Fantastic fantastic fantastic! Mark is brilliant! Very hospitable (couldn’t have asked for a better host!) and very positive which makes the whole experience of working with him even better. Mark is very skilled and knows exactly how to work the set to achieve what he wants.

We had arranged a shoot and we then had Ashleigh Rae join on, which was an absolute pleasure and we complemented each other very well < STUNNING woman.

The images are fantastic, wonderfully shot and edited. Thanks Mark, can’t wait for next time!

Best time everrrrrrrrrr.

I had my first shoot with Mark at his home studio in WSM, including a outdoor location.

We had waited a long time for shoot day, after Mark contacted me through my South West tour casting. I'm so glad that we got something arranged, and it was so worth the wait :-)

I knew during pre comms that this was going to be a special shoot, and that it was.

I had an absolute blast! Mark made me feel very comfortable and welcome instantly and kept me well topped up with tea and giggles.

The shoot flew by, and I was left incredibly impressed with the images and time spent in Marks company.

AMAZING photographer, highly highly recommended by me.

Looking forward to our next shoot!

Thanks so much Mark. YOUR'E AWESOME :-)

Wow what can I say! I had another fantastic studio shoot with Mark!

Welcomed me into his home studio, offering me a drink on arrival. Mark has lots of props available to use which we had great fun with. He is friendly and made me feel comfortable shooting with him and he had some great ideas for the shots we took.

Seeing the edited photos I am so pleased with his work and can't wait for our next shoot!

I would highly recommend to new or experienced models.

Thank you again mark!

I had another shoot with Mark at his studio in Weston, he's always happy to pick me up and drop me off which is really kind and helpful.. makes my day a lot easier!

We always have an absolute blast, were in fits of giggles most of the time yet we still manage to create fabulous images we are both proud of. Cant believe how fast the time goes when we shoot together, which is a really good sign!

Really happy with the shots we created and I would now consider Mark a friend as well as creative partner in crime!

Thanks loads Mark, hope to see you soon.

Yet another successful shoot with Mark :) We got 3 completely different looks shot in around 4 hours! Love shooting with this guy, he know's what I like & don't like by now. Very patient and fair, always gives great professional advice, like that of a mentor! And of course, we always manage to get amazing work done together!

See you soon mark :)

Thankyou!

Another productive fun and yet creative session with this young at heart photographer. We had it all lined up till we started that click and everything changed, the images are so far the best simultaneous work we have done. Mark is creative, has an eye for perfection and yet he is so easy to work with, easy to defy oops I meant easy to listen to and come out with strong work. Now another door has been opened let us see if am going to take the plunge or am going to chicken out lol! Thanks Mark, thank you for being a brilliant photographer and your suggestions are highly valued.

Mark arrived at an art nude studio day I was hosting with the incredible Siggy at Studio 58 in Bristol with...a lovely smile and some gorgeous food for us!!

As well as being friendly, fun and considerate, Mark has some fantastic ideas - all of which were new to me. The three of us made a great team and 2 hours was not enough.

I highly recommend Mark as he is professional, a lovely guy, passionate about photography and very easy to work with. I have a feeling I will be working with him again very soon :)
