Had a wonderful shoot with Mark last week. Very professional, very organised and open to creating spontaneous concepts while being very dedicated with the brief given. From what I can see the photos look SO GOOD. Very lovely man, would recommend to all. :)

I worked with Mark for the first time for a quick shoot whilst we were both visiting the Wales and West Photography Show.

Mark kept me constantly updated prior to the shoot with messages on PP and texts to let me know about his travel arrangements all going to plan. He was punctual and polite.

Mark decided to do a bit of filming as well and playing around with slow-mo which was very effective with my long swishy hair.

As you can see on his portfolio notes, Mark mentioned he’s been having some difficult times lately. He was friendly and quiet and we chatted here and there as he went. I hope everything improves for you Mark!

I had my first shoot with Mark today , he was on time and ready to shoot . The communication pre shoot was really well presented and organised. During the shoot we took so many pictures in different outfits in a short amount of time which is great. I would recommend Mark as a photographer and hopefully work together soon.

Thank you ☺️

Another great shoot with Mark. We did a little walkabout the harbourside. He took some Realy lovely portraits. Mark is creative and got good eye to spot some good backgrounds. Thank you again, recommended to any model!!

Had a fab second shoot with Mark!!

We shot during my recent modelling tour to Gloucester. While I was being hosted by Dasphotouk Dave at his place in Gloucester.

Prior to shooting pre-communication was surprised and everything was easy to organise in a short space of time.

Me and Mark had a good chat and catch up before our shoot started while I had my lunch in between bookings. Mostly complaining about public transport and telling some funny stories!!

We shot lots of fashion looks, some of my new sheer tops, lingerie and some implied & concealed nude. Mark also brought along a cool camera top along too. We did a variety of fashion & portraits as time flew by!!

More than recommended a fab shoot with excellent results.

Was lovely to meet and work with Mark, after discussing the possibility of a shoot for years, after delays due to COVID and family matters. I happened to be in Worcester for a Tabitha Boydell group ballet event, so I contacted Mark to let him know that I was, if not exactly in his neighbourhood, at least closer than I normally am. So we arranged to shoot outdoors in Worcester the next day, and I stayed over in Worcester that night in order to do so. I was interested to meet and work with Mark, not only because I had been following his creative photography for years, but also because, like me, he is Autistic, and many of the issues he has mentioned over the years- such as Disability Discrimination in hiring practices - are ones I myself have experienced, and so have empathy with his struggles.

In person, Mark was considerate and charming and interesting company, professional and thoughtful in his treatment of me as a model, and creative in his photographic compositions. I was pleased with the results we achieved, which he kindly showed me as we went along.

Highly recommended and I hope we will work together again. Cat x

My second shoot with Mark - this time at Fareham Studio. Unfortunately Mark was quite late due to travel issues but he kept me updated and arrived full of enthusiasm. We shot a variety of images in the short time we had left, and Mark was his usual friendly and warm self. I'd be happy to recommend him to others and hope to shoot with him again in the future.

We shot again in Bristol and mark knew the location excellently. - Very punctual yet again, friendly and just lovely company to be in.

We shot at a beautiful park over looking Bristol which was lovely. - We went through a lot of different looks in a small space of time.

Afterwards we had a lovely drink in a café and discussed what shoots mark may be looking to do next, and it was great to hear what he has planned.

Thank you for a great shoot again

I shot with Mark on the 18th August,

He was polite, very talkative, punctual, organised.

We got through a lot of different looks together and discussed what would work best in the location we shot at. (Vivary park)

We got tons of different images that I hope mark is very happy with. They seem to have had a lot of great feedback and views. :)

Great working with you.

Thanks

It was a pleasure welcoming Mark to Full moon for the first time. Mark was good company - courteous and friendly throughout his time he was here - and clearly serious about his photography.

Had a fab shoot with Mark21. During my recent Bath Tour at my friends hired apartment.

Prior to shoot pre-communication was excellent and we had various paragraphs back and forth as we were getting through shoot plans together. Mark21 really does his research and took the time to look at my portfolio and read my portfolio notes which I really appreciated. He also looked in my attire album and let me know what sort of things I should pack for our shoot.

Thanks to Marks careful planning everything flowed so well and we managed to squeeze so many looks into such a short shoot. From a bikini look to ball gown, a smart look and much more we got some fabulous images together.

More than recommended from me. Until next time ;)

Today I had my first shoot with Mark in Gloucester. He has messaged me only day before so it was a very short notice but his pre-comms (well, very first message!) were very detailed and professional - I knew exactly what to expect, what to bring, what time is his train and what sort of scenery he's looking for. Say no more, I was up for it!

We were shooting around docks area and couple of hours flown by - it wasn't only a great shoot but also we had a great conversations and relaxing walk. Mark is professional, had a good eye for detail and creates brilliant pictures - cannot wait to see the final results! Definitely recommend
