Mark was, once again, a pleasure to work with! He booked the studio for the whole day, meaning we had plenty of time to try new ideas and sets.

He was patient, supportive and had brilliant ideas for shots. He is such a lovely guy and I would 100% recommend him to anyone :)

Thanks again Mark! x

Had a simply amazing shoot today with Mark! He was 100% professional and really brought out my confidence in front of the camera.

His ideas were creative and fresh, and I thoroughly enjoyed working with him. He was a gentleman at all times and even paid for my petrol and bought sandwiches and snacks!

Hoping to work together more in the future :)

Thanks Mark!

Really enjoyed working with Mark during a model day at Barlow Studio, he was relaxed, fun, friendly and great to chat with. Took some gorgeous portraits, brought a fab old case to use as a prop, sorted out some cool lighting, gave helpful feedback and enthusiasm. He told me he usually has more ideas planned but even as it was, we got awesome results, he was absolutely lovely and I would happily work with him again! :-)

It's been a while since I had done a location shoot, so it was a beauty to work with Chalkie and dust out all the cobwebs.

He's lovely and easy going, good sense of humor and a good taste in music.

I normally work more on the artnude side of things and it was lovely to have a bit of a change and do something with a different edge, I felt I could express myself easily around him.

The warehouse we used has been photographed a fair deal now and I really appreciated his different approach to shots, keeping it more unique rather than repetitive.

I'm looking forward to working more with this Gent, and seeing what else we can create.

It was a very pleasant surprise to have Mark message me about a shoot recently. The first time we met was at a social evening a couple of years ago or so... we briefly worked together and back then he did a stunning portrait of me so I knew to expect nothing but awesome results from our next shoot and I was correct!

We had a full day shooting at 3 really great locations of Marks choice.

He gave good direction,regular feedback and was just all round incredibly professional and fun to talk to throughout.

He even very kindly treated me to lunch and refused to accept anything towards it (thank you again!)

The shoot itself was so chilled out and we got the best results and I look forward to seeing them.

Mark is a very talented photographer so any model would be missing out not shooting with him!

Highly recommended :) thank you.

I LOVED my shoot with Mark. The shoot was wonderful from start to finish and had a few good laughs. Pre shoot communication was excellent. I knew the kind of stuff he had in mind for me to bring and the location was well thought out (and I loved it). Very encouraging and listened to my ideas well. Never made me feel uncomfortable. It was really fun and we got some brilliant images out of it!

HUZZAH - I am still buzzing after returning from my first shoot with Mark. To say I was impressed would be an understatement, we achieved some crazy good images easily some of the best I think I've been in whilst doing location work. He's awesome with lighting and doesn't dilly dally around, this guy is someone everyone should be shot by. I had a great morning, it flew by and was a barrel of laughs... he even let me finish off my mornings porridge in his car... can't fault him.

Second shoot with Chalkie, can't wait for the third already. We made good use of the varied sets at Mansion Studios and came out with some fantastic images as always. Knew from the start I'd be in for another great shoot as he delivers, is prompt and somehow always brings out the better poses in me! Can't go wrong with this photographer.

It was great working with chalkie, we decided to shoot at my local country park, we walked for miles in cold drizzly weather, Mark carried all his heavy gear and he didn't complain once! pure dedication and a true gentlemen, we got some fantastic shots despite it all. Mark is very professional, knows what he wants and works hard to get the shot, I am really looking forward to working together again in the warmer weather. Thanks Mark. X

Loved every minute of working with Chalkie, a professional as well as a gentleman, he even kindly provided food and drink to keep us going. The quality of his work speaks for itself, he knew exactly how to achieve the best results, particularly with capturing light and shadow. To top it off we had some great laughs along the way too, would highly recommend to new and experienced models.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this guy! I have been fortunate enough to collaborate with Mark several times... and I am in awe of his work. He is very knowledgeable and talented. He's hard working with a deep commitment to getting things just how you envisage. He is able to capture just what the client has asked for each and every time and I learn so much from him.

As an MUA, mark has worked on my beauty shots for my portfolio and website and I couldn't be happier. He works tirelessly to get my images as amazing as they are and spends time gettin his set up so I only get the best images.

I couldn't have got the response from customers without him!

Had a shoot with Mark yesterday, probably the best photographer I've worked with overall. Absolutely outstanding at preparing and ideas, then the experience at the shoot was fun and easy going. But best of all the ones i've had back up to now are beautiful, spot on with the editing. Thanks again Mark, definitely hope to work with you again.
