I had the opportunity to shoot with Mark during a studio day at his studio. Mark is an excellent photographer and shows great attention to detail. He has patience enough to allow both of us to prep for the shot, I love this collaborative style of working and it shows in his work. Highly recommended. Thanks Mark.

I'd also like to add that Mark and his wife Nicky had me stay at their home for the duration of my time on Isle of Wight and I can't thank them enough for their impeccable hospitality. Huge hug and thanks to Nicky :)

I worked with Mark at his studio yesterday on one of his work shop trials. He is absolutely fantastic at giving direction. We did some classic art nude trying a variety of differently lighting set ups and I can safely say Mark knows exactly what he's doing. In the images I could see all of my muscles from the highlights and shadows he created and I learnt a lot from him in the short two hours we worked together.

I would recommend Mark to anyone. Especially photographers who are looking to develop their skills.

Thanks again Mark!

I recently worked with Mark again at Studio2, this time our shoot was preparation for an event course on nude work in the studio.

As ever, Mark's pre-shoot communications were great and we covered everything we set out to achieve from our time. Really looking forward to the real thing!! Always enjoy working with Mark, he is enthusiastic and professional :D

Had a wonderful and productive first shoot with Mark at Studio2,

He is a lovely guy and super friendly, makes you feel welcome right away. What's more is that he 100% knows what he's doing, has brilliant photography skills and great ideas!

I loved shooting with him today and will be looking forward to our next session!

Highly recommended!!

I worked with Mark and Natural Happy girl for a full day shooting while out in Sunny Fuerteventura last month.

The day was amazing, we had so much fun and got so many brilliant images.

Mark had ideas of his own but also let myself and Jess freestyle which was super! We spent the entire day on a fab roadtrip but made time for a tasty lunch in my favorite El Cotillo cafe too! Yay!

I can't wait to see the images from the day and I really hope I can work with Mark again one day! :)

I had an art nude shoot with Mark on the Isle of Wight and we got some great shots. Mark and his partner Nicky are incredibly lovely people, thoughtful, kind and considerate as well as super professional. I stayed at their house for three nights and felt like I was in a 5* hotel, they looked after me so so well. I hope to be able to meet and work with them again soon.

I had a fun shoot with Mark last summer on the Isle of Wight. It was a good day and Mark was great to work with - organized, prepared, considerate, laid back. We drove around and work at several different pre-planned locations and it all went very well thanks to Mark's easygoing professionalism. I liked the concepts and locations and I believe we did some great work together. Highly recommended to other models.

My second shoot with Mark, but this time on location(s). We visited a few locations on the Island which included dereliction and the sea and thankfully the weather was on our side!

Mark is great to work with, laid back, respectful and full of creativity. Hope we get to explore the Island again at some point :D

Another lovely shoot with Mark!

He had some great little outfits for us to try out this time round, which is always good to work with something else rather than your usual model wardrobe!

He always links the camera up to the computer screen so you can see how the images are coming out and how to make any improvements which really helps you to get the best results possible :)

Always a pleasure to work with and hope to work with him again!

Highly recommended!

Great guy to work with & easy to get to, about 15 mins from Portsmouth harbour station, thoroughly recommended.

I worked with Mark at his Studio, on the Isle of Wight. Mark had great pre-shoot comms so I knew what ideas he wanted to try. He was professional throughout the shoot and easy to get along with. He made sure I was comfortable and even gave me some pointers on what to do on the Isle of Wight after my shoot with him :) Highly recommended & I hope to work with him again :)

I had a lovely 4 hour shoot with Mark today at his studio. Unfortunately the weather stopped us from working on location but we covered a huge variety of lighting set-ups which yielded some gorgeous portraits. Pre-shoot comms were great so I knew what to bring: tea and good conversation were supplied throughout. Mark is a lovely guy with a real eye for the image - I greatly enjoyed working with him and hope we'll be shooting again soon. Highly recommended.

Had a great shoot with Mark last Friday when he was visiting Brussels.

Pre-shoot communication was Perfect with a detailed email with location, concept, outfits, ....pppfff everything!!

Shoot itself took place in the hotel room. Mark knew exactly what he wanted making my life easy.

He is a very soft spoken, kind, warm person.

Also met his lovely wife Nicky.

Had some lovely talks and a relaxed shoot.

I really enjoyed my afternoon and cannot recommend Mark high enough... but I will. ;)

So big High R from me!

Thank you Mark,

Where to begin! Super weekend spent with Mark shooting in the Isle of Wight. We had been discussing it for some time and it was crazy to think how quickly it all came around! Mark has a fantastic studio (studio2) which we hosted a studio day as well as shooting time of our own on the Saturday.

Mark and his lovely wife Nicky put me up during my visit - a beautiful home - and Nicky's cooking is just awesome. Although, was slightly disappointed none of the cats wanted to cuddle up to me at night! - swings and roundabouts! Such gracious hosts and made sure I was well fed.

Pre shoot communications were fab and it makes life so much easier when 2 of you have your business heads on sharing the responsibility in organising studio days and Mark was fab. When it came time to our shoot on the Saturday it just flew by! I've already seen some pretty awesome results and his attention to detail most certainly pays off. He was great and helping out with assistance to those that needed it on the day which is always great with the technical side of things.

After I stuffed my face with what was probably meant to be a months supply of snacks for models at the studio (sorry mark!) he then took me to Studio3 (a.k.a pub! - ssshhh! its a secret!) which was a great end to the first day. By day 2 I didnt want to go! Im a 100% sure it wont be my last visit to the Isle of Wight and will most definitely be working with Mark again!

Great photographer and highly recomended! send my thanks to Nicky!

Cheers

I had a fantastic shoot with mark last week at his studio on the Isle of Wight! I found the tethering Mark used was amazingly helpful. He was encouraging and easy-going, really delightful to work with. Also completely respectful and professional. I enjoyed a comfortable nights stay with Mark & his Nicky his lovely friendly wife, in their stunning flat. I loved the boxes full of beautiful props/textiles/trims and arty farty bits and pieces! He's got an amazing style to his work - a digital artist of the highest standard, who has a great enthusiasm for creating something special. I really can't wait to see some shots. I'm so glad to have had the opportunity to work with him. Very highly recommended.

All I can say is I am SO excited to see the final results from my recent shoot with Mark! He knew exactly what he wanted to shoot and spent time perfecting the lights and getting things exactly how he wanted them so that we could get some totally awesome image! The lighting was quite literally superb and I really loved that he took my input on board too, showed me the images on the laptop and really seemed to care about what I thought :)

It was an extremely inspiring shoot that I really got into and from what I saw the images speak for themselves!

Great guy, fab studio and a lovely day all round :)

Highly recommended!

Had a really great time shooting with Mark last month! He is such a lovely and friendly person, he kindly offered me a place to stay during my visit and got me a super yummy take away! He made me feel comfortable and totally welcome, I am most grateful!

Mark is very fun, chatty and enthusiastic, his passion for photography is clear and it comes through greatly on shoots! He strives to get the best shots possible and looks at the composition and light in an image incredibly attentively to ensure he gets it perfect! He also is able to create a great variety of feelings and moods in his shots using only a couple of lights, he is very talented! We tried out a range of outfits and props whilst shooting, it was really engaging and fun :)

I had a really lovely time shooting with Mark, it was great, I look forward to next time!!

I worked with Mark during my recent visit to the Isle of Wight. He's awesome! His studio is a five minute walk from the bus/ferry stations and full of fantastic props! He's fascinating to talk to, creative and showed more patience than I would have done when we struggled with a technical malfunction! :) I loved the shots in the camera and cannot wait to work together again.

Highly recommended here.

DancingWithTheLight

Had a relatively short shoot with Mark, he was easy to work with, professional, and had lots of ideas in tow. He is also very organised and has a collection of props and accessories at his studio, which was fun to rummage through and inspired me for our shoot. I especially love his photos that look like paintings, so amazing!

Def recommended if you are creative model.

Bunnie Stevens

Mark was amazing to work with!

Mark and a couple others organised a really amazing location for a shoot. Mark is great to get on with, he is creative, full of ideas and was well prepared with cool props and outfits. - There was so much going on and before long, a whole day had flown by! I had so much fun!

Very highly recommended!!
