I had a long awaited but brilliant shoot with Marcus a few days ago, he had such a fantastic vision for this shoot - with several epic ideas!

Marcus is fabulous to work with, he’s very kind and considerate and really cares about how the model feels, and if she’s happy and comfortable.

The effort and consideration that goes into each set and image of his is fantastic, with so much attention to detail - from the outfit, lighting and ambiance of the set, and really trying to portray the emotions of each image.

Not to mention how fantastic (and warm 😁) his incredibly stocked studio is! I’ve never seen a studio like it 😍

I’m thrilled and honoured to finally have got to work with Marcus, and on such a brilliant concept. I do hope we get to work together again 😃 100% recommend

Had an amazing shoot with Marcus on Wednesday! He is so creative and has so many ideas, I felt at complete ease throughout our day shooting. He was so welcoming, accomodating and did everything to make sure I was comfortable.

Marcus is a huge professional, his work space and the images he creates speak for themselves! So much thought, planning and preparation goes into each theme/shoot, using smoke, rain, water and lighting to create the perfect shots! It definitely isn't your typical day at a photoshoot, was such a good and enjoyable experience creating art.

I would highly recommend working with Marcus!

I was honoured when Marcus asked to book a shoot with me, Marcus’s work speaks for itself and is absolutely sensational. We had met at the photography show where he was so polite and lovely so I felt very comfortable and excited to be going to this studio.

I have never seen anything like this studio in life,it is truly epic and to have the chance to shoot there was pretty incredible. For the whole day Marcus and I put in our full efforts to create these powerful and emotive images using the amazing set up he has. I had such fun on this shoot,it was a whole new experience.

Marcus is such a lovely character-we chatted all day,I felt so comfortable working with him and I really admired his attitude and approach to how he creates his imagery. There really is a story behind every single one of his photos.

There was so much creativity put into this shots and I’m so excited to see the results. I’m so glad I was able to work with Marcus and I hope to again in the future!

Had a great shoot with Marcus on Sunday at his studio in Maidstone.

The studio.. wow, it’s amazing!

Marcus is a very talented photographer with a great eye for detail. He has cool ideas, a wide and varied wardrobe and he is super professional, made sure I was comfortable and all round great company and fun to work with. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with him and I look forward to seeing the results and shooting with him again in future.

Thank you!

What an incredible full day shoot I had with Marcus recently. He was there on time prepared & full of energy.

Between mine & his wardrobe we could shoot for months! But we put together ideas and he has an eye for detail for ‘stand out’ looks with each outfit.

Marcus is not only an outstanding photographer but his personality shone through during the shoot and we had such good fun with the water, smoke, even coloured powder that went with different looks.

Marcus definitely knows how to get effective images & won’t stop until he does. His passion and creativity definitely showed throughout the day.

This was 100% my kind of shoot! So I was able to add my wacky poses to his wacky settings and boom we smashed out some epic images. So excited to see the edits!

I was comfortable from start to finish and highly recommend Marcus to add some insane images to your port :)

This was my second time working with Marcus and what an awesome day it was!

The studio is like no other I’ve ever worked in, and all the gadgets teamed with Marcuses amazing skills have produced some fabulous work!

His wardrobe is almost as big as mine! And his styling skills are awesome, there is no idea that you cannot bring to fruition with this guy; anything is possible

I can not wait to see and post the final result!

Marcus was very professional which made me feel really comfortable. He is friendly and very knowledgeable about lighting and has an amazing set up at his studio which I was really excited about. He has great ideas which are different and unique. It is probably one of my most favourite shoot experiences ever. I cannot wait to see the photos. I hope to shoot with him again, I highly recommend Marcus.

Always an absolute pleasure!

I always get my best pictures when shooting with him.

It’s a great day, everything is set up and well thought about.. a very interesting wardrobe.

Everything is styled and has a story.

Very unique, highly recommended.

Marcus Mantino knows his stuff!!! Pre and post comms absolutely perfect. I knew exactly what to expect and was ready for a highly energetic, high impact, creative day!

He truly is a genius. The set up at Marcus' studio is incredible. Water, lights, clothing galore. He has a great eye for capturing eye-catching images. His work is incredible and I felt honoured to be a part of it.

Can get a bit cold in the water but Marcus has lots of fresh towels and good heating equipment, at the end of a shoot loading up on your back for the apocolyptic part was hard work but TOTALLY worth it because the images are insane. Amazing.

Thanks for a great shoot Marcus. The photos and bts is so cool. Awesome photographer and lovely person, collecting me from station and buying me lunch, highly highly recommended! :-D

I worked with Marcus on the 12th of February this year, my first ever shoot with him!

From the beginning of talking to Marcus and sorting out a shoot, he was really professional and very quick at getting back to me and helping with any questions I had.

Our shoot went so well and I think we have created some great photos together. Marcus has a great area for changing outfits with lots of clothing a shoe options.

His studio was great and also was very different working with water and smoke machines, which I had never done before. Was amazing!

I definitely recommend working with Marcus, And hope to shoot again in the future.

Today I worked with Marcus Mantino for the first time, and it was most certainly a shoot to remember. The man is bursting with creativity with a studio to match! Fully equipped with rain and smoke we created some of the best images I have seen of my self.

He was very helpful and positive,it was easy to relax. I would highly recommend, it’ll change your portfolio for life!

I can’t wait to see the images 😁😁
