Loved working with Flashtastic Photography. Definitely recommend and would love to work together again.

Really bubbly, professional, full of ideas, creative, easy to work with, photos sent quickly and just a nice person, great photographer who is super flexible.

So flexible - we had a few issues before the shoot with train strikes, the room I booked was much smaller than expected and due to how long my hair is now (and thus heavy) my hair wouldn't stay up in the planned hairstyle (or back up styles), but we made everything work.

Flashtastic Photography brought a selection of cameras to the shoot which was super interesting, fun and he had backup cameras which was just really reassuring.

Also not only was Flashtastic Photography flexible, but also realistic. We had a lot of ideas before the shoot and we just couldn't explore everything in one shoot. Quality over quantity.

Loved the work we produced, I'd love to build on what we produced and explore the ideas further plus other ideas we discussed. Would love to work with Flashtastic Photography again.

Looking forward also to follow his journey and see all the wonderful work he produces. Not only do I enjoy being part of the art, but I love photos.

Had what was hopefully my first on many shoots today. Coms before were spot on.

We shot at my home and as soon as he arrived, I felt totally at ease and relaxed.

He's very easy to chat with. Very professional and knows exactly what he wants.

I would very highly recommend 100%!

Had such a fun shoot yesterday with Mark and his girlfriend Emma. They were both so friendly and helpful throughout the shoot, giving good direction and producing some fantastic images. I cant wait to see the final results and wouldn't hesitate to work with them again! Recommend :)

Just got home from the shoot and I must say it was absolutely amazing!

Mark was so professional throughout, he let me do my own thing and next thing we are snapping away and got some awesome images!

If you get the chance to shoot with Mark grab it! Very talented and a good laugh! Plus he put up with my awful taste in music ;)

Thanks Mark!

I was happy to be chosen for Marks last minute casting which he advertised this week. It is the second time I have shot with Mark and his studio is lovely and has everything you could need for a shoot.

Although short and sweet we managed to cram in 4 different changes of clothes and Mark really let me come into my own giving me a free run with my poses while offering great direction and allowing me to see the back of the camera when something didn't quite look right.

Mark has great knowledge of lighting and knows exactly what to do to get the perfect image.

Thanks again Mark I can't wait to see the images.

I shot with Mark at his wonderful and very versatile studio whilst I was up doing my Midlands tour, we had good pre-comms, as well as Mark offering to sort a group studio shoot, which he lead beautifully & brought together a crowd of lovely photographers to shoot with moi!

Mark is a brilliant photographer, he is so knowledgeable with lighting (deffo one of the best I've worked with!), creating wicked effects & he has a stunning way with the camera, capturing perfect angles, whilst being extremely professional with a wicked sense of humour, which had me instantly relaxed!

I cannot recommend Mark enough, what a fabulous photographer - thank you for the amazing evening :)

Did my second group shoot at Mark's studio last week!

As usual it was very well planned, we worked through several sets and due to the privacy at the studio each photographer gets to shoot what they want without fear of the next photographer getting the exact same shot.

He makes sure you are warm and comfortable at all times and generally runs his studio very well :)

Highly recommended and look forward to going back again in the future!

I had a fantastic shoot with Mark at the weekend. We went through lots of ideas, and he was brilliant at allowing me creative space and giving direction. Between us I'm very excited to see the images. Mark is super friendly, fun to shoot with and makes a lovely cup of tea. I look forward to working together again soon x

I had a fabulous shoot last night with Mark. From the get go Mark was friendly and open with his ideas and we had good communication throwing ideas back and forth on pinterest.

Mark was waiting at the studio for me which is lovely and comfortable and made me copious coffees which kept me happy.

Mark is amazing at giving direction and seems to have a knack of knowing what you are feeling, he knew before I did that I didn't like one of the outfits I had bought with me just by taking 1 picture.

We explored a huge range of outfits and themes, Mark never once pushed me and was more than happy to sit and chat as long as I wanted (And I can talk!)

I gained confidence as the shoot progressed and even played around with some implied nude which looked amazing on the back of the camera.

I can't wait to see the images and to shoot with Mark again.

I had a shoot with Mark today, it was originally with another photographer & another model but we used Marks studio so he shot us too :-) Mark was lovely, very open to ideas and easy to get along with. He had a variety of different props to use and his studio was great. This was my first time shooting with Mark and after 10-20 minutes of me being there my nerves were gone and I couldn't wait to get my kit off! I have already asked Mark to shoot with me again and I would deffo recommend him to other models. Mark shows you the pictures on the back of his camera and is great with directions. Can't wait to get my pictures back and shoot with him again. Cheers Mark! X

well I had the best shoot today with mark at his studio. Mark is the loveliest guy, we where soon chatting away and it felt like I had known him for ages and felt at ease quickly. Mark is a perfectionist but in the best possible way as he gains some amazing shots through his attention to detail, his studio is fully kitted out and kept offering me brews (thanks) he is also brilliant with lighting and creates some lovely images using the many lights he has, he also told me when the dreaded back line arose so i could correct it.

I felt so relaxed I even did implied nude for the very first time!! the shoot was not an agreed length of time more of a see how we get on, but ended up being just over 4 hours and i enjoyed every minute of it.

couldn't recommend mark enough..........thanks for a fab shoot mark and cant wait to work with you in the future :)

I went to a group shoot at Mark's studio on Saturday afternoon.

He had put together a lovely group of people to work with, it was very well organised so that everybody had the same amount of 1-2-1 time with me and he was always on hand to help with lighting. We worked through a few different outfit changes/sets and they all ran really smoothly. He has a great little studio with different sets and one of my favourites - brick walls :D

I'd happily go and do another shoot for him and would happily recommend him and his group shoots to others :)

I headed up to marks studio with another model and photographer and had a blast. Mark was the perfect host, so friendly and welcoming aswell as providing us with endless amounts of tea and coffee :) had lots of fun shooting with mark and felt at ease the whole time.

Most importantly I came away with some fantastic images!

Couldn't reccomend mark enough :)

I attended a group shoot in which Mark had arranged with 5 other photographers. What can I say, he couldn't have picked abetter bunch of togs, his studio was a lovely little set up with lots of lighting equipment and props. He was great at giving direction and also new exactly how to use all of his lighting and equipment. He was happy to assist other photographers with lighting set up sect and makes a great tutor. He is so much fun to be around, and makes every effort to ensure that you feel as relaxed as possible and is a true gent. He allowed me to stay at his studio as the shoot was late on in the evening and the fun still continued after the shoot had ended. He has a professional attitude and really knows his stuff! Fantastic guy, fantastic shoot, fantastic photographer. 100% recommended to work with models and other photographers. Thank you for your great hospitality Mark. X

Had a great location shoot with mark last month. He was accepting of changes in the situation, and was friendly and comfortable to work with. He was skilled in adapting to borrowed equipment and knew exactly how to get the desired result. He was clear in his direction, and also good at accommodating my ideas. All in all a successful shoot with some great results! My only problem is choosing the best pictures! Thanks flashtastic! Definitely recommended and hoping to shoot again!

Had a lot of fun working with Mark. I filled in very last minute for a mod that couldn't attend. This was only my second shoot and I instantly felt relaxed. He have great direction and had a clear idea of the looks he wanted. The images had a very fast turnaround and are great quality and make me look good (always nice :) )

His studio is lovely to work in, very practical and comfortable and has a lovely feel about it. I've already organised a second shoot and can't wait to see what happens :)

I would definitely recommend him to any models and would recommend his studios to any photographers.

Had a lovely shoot with Mark on Monday evening, the first shoot of my tour of the North West. Lovely, personable, and friendly guy. We quickly worked through a range of looks and lighting setups, and the time just flew by.

Really lovely man, recommended by me :)
