What can I say,

Mark is just a lovely person to work with and I am ever so pleased I have had the chance to work with him for a couple of occasions now..

First was a Japanese shoot he organised extremely well and it was so much fun. He is a amazing photographer and such a great character to be around.

I worked with him again yesterday at another group shoot and as always it was greatly organised with MUA's, photographer and models... He brought me some gothic props to use which were all gorgeous just a shame I didn't get to use them all..

As I say, such a pleasure to work with and highly recommend to any model...

Mark organised a Japanese photoshoot at the botanical gardens. A wonderful experience with a great opportunity for models and photographers. His ideas where spot on and I was chosen to be a warrior. I had a lot of fun there was plenty of props and location to play with. Looking forward to work with mark again and to see the photos. He looked after all the models, made sure we had enough food and drink and we arrived home safe. Additionally he chose talented MUAs, he has a good eye. I highly recommend working with him, thank you for a great day, we managed to pull off a smashing shoot even if the weather tried to work against us

I attended an event/meetup organized by Mark. No only did he arrange an interesting affordable event, he got a Fab' Kimono designer which provided models with outfits and instruction on how to pose. The location was lovely and all models, MUAs and photographers had a great time. No only is Mark a great photographer he is a superb organizer, bringing fun and creativity in his meetups. I look forward to the images from this meetup and would defiantly go again. Very highly recommended in my books.

Mark organised an absolutely stunning Japanese themed shoot on Saturday. The effort and organisation, time and dedication that Mark puts into arranging his shoots is second to none. I couldn't recommend his photography group highly enough; everyone always comes away with not only an amazing set of pictures but also having a great time on the day. The thing that makes me smile most about Mark's shoots is everyone always says: 'when's the next one?', usually half way through the current one! But it just gives you a snapshot of how well thought of and highly regarded he is amongst the togs and MUAs and stylists he collaborates with x

Worked on another event with Mark, this time a Japanese shoot. He chose a lovely model for me to paint at the Gardens in Birmingham. The other MUAs were great, models were lovely and the designer who provided the other models with their clothes for the day was a very knowledgeable fun lady. The photographers seemed to have a great time on this event. I am looking forward to the images they create for everyone. Thank you Mark for a great day, with a brilliant theme and a fab location.

Mark lead a highly organised and enjoyable photographers' meet up. His communication throughout was excellent and during the day he made sure everyone was looked after.

A successful shoot with many fab images coming through.

I look forward to our next project.

Great Japanese Kimono shoot organised by mark on Saturday. It was the first time i've worked with 24 photographers before so new experience for me! Mark was great,put me at ease straight away and even picked me up from the train station as i wasn't sure how to get to the location. cant wait to work with mark again at another themed shoot in the future.

Mark had great pre shoot communication with constant message updates and emails letting me know what was going on would definitely recommend mark to any model new or experienced.

I had an incredible shoot with Mark and his workshop yesterday, everybody was friendly and approachable and made the day an extremely enjoyable experience. Everyone was very organised and they had a great selection of props incase they were wanted or needed in the shoot and the photographers who took part in the workshop were very good with giving direction so they could get great shots!

I recommend Mark and his group to any model who has the opportunity to work with them and strongly hope I get the chance to again!

I worked with Mark and his group yesterday on a horror theme shoot, and I loved it! With the amazing help of the MUA Whimsical Sorceress, we created the perfect look I was going for in the horror theme.

All of Mark and the group were so welcoming and friendly, and the organisation was perfect giving plenty of chance to work with all of the photographers that were in attendance. I had a great time, and I highly recommend taking the opportunity to work with Mark and his group as it was a very enjoyable day! Thank you Mark for inviting me!

Highly recommended and I hope to be invited back soon...if I didn't scare them all too much!! :)

Mark organized a meet up at SS creative photography studio for West Midlands Photography Group which I had the pleasure of working with on the day. I was given to lovely models to do simple horror body paint on. The photographers and models where welcoming. Mark was very organized and communication though out was flawless. I have a wonderful day and would highly recommend this experience to anyone. Thanks once again Mark

I have worked with Mark before and I am so glad that I was given the chance to model for him and another workshop. Again, Mark is absolutely brilliant to work with, very professional, yet such a lovely, respectful guy; who's always brimming with great ideas. His workshop has provided me with some wonderful images that I love and have been valuable additions to my portfolio! I can't wait to see Mark's images. Mark was great with his direction and was clear with his ideas. I would highly recommend! Hopefully I can work with him again soon.

I had the pleasure of working with Mark and his photography group again this weekend. Another well organised shoot, with talented photographers and models alike. Mark's concepts for his shoots are imaginative, fun and allow for input from his creative team, something that is important to me! Couldn't recommend Mark and his group highly enough - the behind the scenes leg work Mark puts in is always evident and produces a fantastic shoot on the day!

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Mark and his two amateur photographers Kerry and John. I was made to feel very comfortable, and experienced different styles of shooting from all photographers. Mark is professional, and knows how to direct and achieve great images. Mark also provides a variety of different props, creating new, interesting images.

I would highly recommend Mark to new and experienced models, to expand on your portfolio and develop your skill sets.

I hope to work with Mark on many different projects in the future. ☺️

This is the second time I've worked with Mark and the photography group he runs, and it's been a great experience both times! He is well organised before the shoot and on the day, ensuring that everything runs to plan. For both shoots, I've been given everything I've needed before hand to ensure that the brief for the shoot is met. He looks after the models, photographers and MUAs so well on the day that no wonder the group is a popular one. Nothing but praise for Mark - Look forward to working on more shoots in the near future!

I had a great shoot with Mark and his group at the weekend. The whole day was extremely well organised, from the venue, to the MUA's, costumes, props and sets. Communication was really good and the day went exactly as described. Mark kept everyone on track and even though it was quite a long shoot with a large number of photographers, Mark made it fun and enjoyable. I would highly recommend Mark and his group to anyone and am really pleased that he has asked me to work with them again. x

Mark hired me for the 2nd shoot at his regular photography group. As before, Mark was extremely well prepared, gave great prep and email from locations, MUAs, props and accessories. He made sure us models were comfortable and looked after at all times, gave us regular breaks and tea and coffee without it being too broken for photographers. He also made sure after the group that us and the MUAs had all the shots we wanted for our portfolios which I thought was really generous and kind.

Would highly recommend Mark and his group to anyone and can't wait to work with him again
