I first met Mark at a local social group occasion back in January, shortly after I had joined PP. I talked to him at some length and was fascinated by his wealth of experience and creativity within the special effects and photography industry.

I knew I just had to work with him and so presented the idea of doing an X-men shoot version of the character "Storm". Mark happily agreed to this collaboration and the shoot finally took place yesterday.

What an absolute blast I had. Mark is a true professional and gentleman through and through. Very relaxed and fun time with lots of laughs. I felt comfortable throughout the shoot. His work is amazing. I can't wait to see the images!

This was the first body paint shoot for me; we have already discussed the next project and I hope to do many more with Mark in the future.

Thank you so much Mark for an exciting shoot!

Highly recommend this very talented and gifted MUA/Photographer

I had the pleasure of meeting up with Mark on an organised event at his home today after several years since we first met. His enthusiasm and skill was such a tonic to me. The facilities and the numerous opportunities his place affords is something to be believed. The facilities available gives any photographer an endless selection of photographic ideas and when added to Marks superb artistic skills, a selection of images can so easily be created. If you want to experience everything from an upmarket and elegant set to a grungy, and totally downmarket facility, Mark can provide it together with vast selection of props to complete the image.

Supported by his family, a totally brilliant day was had by all.

Thanks Mark......

After stalking him on insta for a little while, finally had the pleasure to work with Mark and ah boy... what an experience that was. Easy going, down to earth, super creative and full of ideas. When he said " I'm bringing a few props", I expected " a few props", not a full to the brim arsenal in his car.. I was in heaven.

We've had a blast and snapped some amazing photos which I will be having difficulties picking just a few for editing.

If you ever have the opportunity to work with Mark, grab it with both hands.. You will have a great time creating some amazing images and having a laugh and a joke along the way. Highly Recommended! xxxx

Had the pleasure of working with Mark who is such a lovely person.

He made a comment on my reference about being the quickest shoot ever however I put this down to clear comms - we knew exactly what we were shooting and where we wanted to take the shoot creatively.

Being in agreement, costume choices were easy - no times faffing about deliberating plus I am the master of quick change so I've been told!

We knew what shots we wanted to achieve for the look we were going for so job was done in no time - no point shooting extra images if they are not required!

Needless to say, even though we blasted through the shoot faster than a speeding bullet, we obtained a plethora of images for the project we were working on which made final choice decisions very difficult!

I had immense fun being covering in fake blood.

Mark is incredibly fun to shoot with which was all more of a reason why the time went so fast.

Managed to get a sneak peek of the background images Mark had created which were superb. Can't wait to get the final images which I am sure will be epic.

I got the pleasure of meeting and working with mark today, mark took the time to talk through the shoot and understand levels and the reason why I wanted to do this shoot, as a complete novice to the modelling aspect mark was patient and reasuring throughout who showed respect,communicated well both before during and after the shoot, took the time to show me the images and give feedback which will help me in future both mentally and if I wanted to do modelling as a career,

today mark helped me build abit of confidence and helped me on my path to building myself.

I highly recommend working with mark,I can't wait to show off the images, and would be a pleasure to work with him again.

I answered a casting call ages ago and was lucky enough to be asked to do this shoot with photo sorcerer and mirror image s! I was so excited for this shoot and I was not disappointed at all.

Great comms leading up to the big day. When I arrived Mark was friendly and instantly put me at ease. We sat down and he fully explained the shoot and what was wanted of me.

Mark and Sharon’s skills are epic! I am so impressed with their talent and dedication to the theme, every little detail was executed beautifully.

What an amazing day and shoot. I sincerely hope to work with Mark again, and often! :) This was an experience like no other and I loved it! If you get the chance to work with this lovely man then do!

I had my first shoot with Mark a few weeks ago after answering a casting of his. I'd never done a shoot like this before but was really excited to take on something a bit different.

Mark provided excellent pre-shoot comms so I knew exactly what I needed to do and bring with me on the day.

Once I arrived I had some stage make-up applied to fit the theme (a boxer in the ring) and we got started. Mark had a really clear image of what he wanted and gave good direction so we had the images we wanted very quickly.

I had a great experience shooting with Mark and would definitely recommend him!

What can i say… some people you just click with and mark and I got on like a house on fire, he’s an amazing guy.

Sooo talented, offered to pick me up as I cycled to his studio… ha.

Beautiful home, lovely vibe, I felt at ease straight away. I knew it would be amazing but seriously blown away by the talent of this man. He takes deep pride in his work, and it really shows, before, during and after the shoot. Working with mark has given me a confidence boost, and I’ve got amazing pictures to be proud off, I can’t wait to work with him again. Honestly the best guy.

I 1 million percent recommend. Thanks again 😊

What a fun but messy shoot with Mark! We shot for the "My Bloody Valentine" casting, and oh wow, it is was so much fun and gorey!🔪🩸

Mark shows how much passion he has for each shot, which shows in his portfolio. He was a great host, super warm and welcoming, along with his lovely wife and cute dog Storm!

The photos unedited on the computer look AMAZING, and I cannot wait to see what magic Mark does to the images.

I 100% recommend Mark's make-up and photography, a fascinating character and lovely person to shoot with!

Thank you again, Mark😊

I absolutely loved working with Mark!! He made me feel comfortable straight away and even came to pick me up at the wrong station, due to train cancellations. Once in the studio we got to experiment with so many props and the raw images look amazing. So excited to see the finished work. Mark is very generous with the images and lets you see them all which is great and way more than I expected! Can’t wait to work with Mark again! I really enjoyed today’s shoot, 5 hours went by so fast!

I WANT MORE. Shooting with Mark was definitely a positive and unique experience. OMG. What a talent. Mark was so clear with the ideas he wanted to shoot with me and did his research beforehand so precisely that the photo taking was really easy, fast and unstressful. Simply a genius of the green screen and I am truly excited to see the final art we produced.
