Had a last minute shoot today with Mark today and loved it.This was my first shoot with him after he contacted me a while back to say he would like to work with me

Mark was very welcoming. Offered me a drink and showed me a separate bedroom and bathroom where I could change.

The studio in his house was warm and cosy and very were equipped with props, lighting etc.

We talked through a few ideas which worked out well.

A fun guy who is professional and very easy to get on with. He showed me the shots on his pc as we went along.

After the shoot Mark asked me to if I would like to choose some of the photos that were my favourites before I left which was a great idea.

It was a pleasant surprise to receive some of the edits this evening

I would definitely recommend Mark and look forward to working with him again in the future

I had the pleasure of working along side Mark at his 2 tuition groups yesterday.

After working with Mark a couple of weeks ago I was really hoping to get the chance to shoot with him again so when he contacted me about the tuition sessions I jumped at the chance - and I’m sure glad I did!

Mark looked after me from the minute I entered the door, coffee at the ready!

It was such a pleasure to see other photographers learning from mark and him passing his knowledge on.

I can honestly say I had such a great day and we were laughing from start to finish!

His mua and cooking skills aren’t half bad either! ;)

Thankyou so much for having me Mark, I hope we have many more shoots to come :)

I had my first shoot with Mark today, was so welcoming from the minute he opened the door, helped me with my bags, had a coffee in my hand within minutes (which is always appreciated!)

The studio itself was a lovely environment, Mark was great fun to work along side, full of enthusiasm and the ideas just kept coming, his creativity is Impeccable!

Mark got images to me the same evening and I have to say they are incredible!

I can’t wait to work with Mark again, hopefully in the very near future :)

Cannot recommend enough!

David Wall - Dancer

I recently worked with Mark for the first time, he was a pleasure to work with. He had a fun and happy energy throughout our shoot, whilst bringing his own props and ideas to the studio. He very much appreciated the dance industry which was very nice for us as the models.

Sorry for the delay!

Me and a photographer used Marks home studio last month and it was fab!

Great lighting and space, we managed to get some really lovely shots.

He also makes an amazing cup of coffee!

Perfect!

Thank you Mark and it was lovely seeing you again!

Ella Slingsby - Pro Ballet Dancer & Model

Had a great dance shoot with Mark!! We shot many different looks and loved how Mark brought so many props to use!! Mark is a very friendly guy and extremely encouraging. He also put our safety first and was a very supportive photographer. Loved his energy too it was very fun! Definitely recommend Mark :)

Mark was indeed Bright Eyed and Bushy Tailed; good good GOOD because his model had had a truly grotty night of sleep and was feeling well below par....

Showing true professionalism, Mark slowed down the nature of the shoot, accommodated my 'needs' (COFFEE!!! MINCE PIES!!!) and made the shoot less energetic. He was attentive, helpful, polite and courteous as always, and the hours seemed to disappear in minutes.

What a pro. I love this man. And everything he does is presented with humour and fun.

Inspirational Sagittarius shots with a bow and arrow, and some superb body paint and glitter work. Next time it'll be done with more energy from the tired model 😉

I love working with Mark. He has great ideas and produces fantastic images. Twenty twenty too two I am hoping we will do do!

This was my first after lockdown so I was obviously a little rusty and nervous. Mark was absolutely great. Very patient, gave great direction and was very friendly which encouraged me and raised my confidence throughout the shoot! We got some fantastic shots that I am really proud of and I would hope Mark is too.

I would absolutely recommend Mark to anyone.

Would love to work with you again Mark! Thanks!

Best regards,

David

YES YES YES

Mark is FANTASTIC person, great photographer, our shoots are always such fun.

Rosie Flame

Another fantastic studio day thanks to Mark.

Mark is super easy going and goes the extra mile to ensure you're comfortable and obtain the best images.

This is now the second time I've booked his studio and it won't be the last.

Highly recommended. :)

Scarlett Blaze

Bright-eyed kindly let myself and Rosie Flame use his home studio for the day which was a blast, after the last shoot of the day we managed to fit in a little shoot together ourselves and got some fantastic images, I hope there will be a next time in the near future.

Great host, very friendly and a regular at the Bristol Networking social.

Highly recommend :=

Mark, Mr Leo, was great to work with.

He had super ideas and we got on like a house on fire. The session felt relaxed, professional, free flowing; the results showed in his photographs as they look unforced, natural, and are to an amazing standard.

Mark is a gent. He has a fab sense of humour and is very gentle and kind.

Really would recommend him.

Jasmine High

On my tour to Somerset I had my first shoot with Mark at his lovely home studio.

He is very welcoming, polite and respectful person. He also let me use his place to shoot with other photographers. I felt myself very comfortable and relaxed during all shoots.

He is kind, respectful, has great conversation skills and a great sense of humor, all round the perfect gentleman.

Mark is very professional and experienced photographer with many creative ideas. He is giving perfect directions and also let me pose freely. After every set he showed me the pictures on his laptop and I was very impressed with the photos we have created!

I really hope to get a chance to work with Mark again in the future.

MARK IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Thank you 🙂

Had a second shoot with Mark this time at his home studio. Mark was full of creative ideas and had lots of props to work with. Had a separate room and en-suite for me to use and get changed in. Mark is very professional and the images look amazing!

Great pre comms and I’ll definitely be working with him again soon!

Summers Abroad

Mark attended his first event with us and it was an absolute pleasure hosting him :)

He came along to our 'Shadow of a Doubt' event and I loved how he interpreted each set differently and came away with completely different photos to others. He was as friendly as ever and got on really well with everybody too.

We can absolutely recommend him and hope to host him again in the future!

I really enjoyed my shoot with Brighteyed, he communicated well prior to our shoot, arrived in good time. Very easy to get along with and professional.

I like that he brought some of his own ideas and creativity to the shoot.

He returned some of my images very quickly and I'm very happy with the result.

Barbierella

Mark is an absolute pleasure to shoot with and a genuinely lovely guy. Perfect pre comms, brimming with creative ideas and such a talented photographer.

Mark had an amazing location in mind when he approached me, and I was so pleased that he did because we created some stunning shots.

He is a thoughtful guy who goes above and beyond and always has the models wellbeing in mind. Wholeheartedly recommended and can't wait for our next shoot.

Anica

Mark replied to my casting while I was visiting Exeter and I am so happy he did.

What a fantastic shoot! Pre com and during a shoot were great and he is very professional, polite, respectful and a great fun to work with. We produced some amazing images and I am looking forward to shoot with him again.

Thank you :)
