I worked with him in the central coast at a studio using a range of clothing I brought along. He is originally from the UK so it was great to chat to him about the scene over there along with the good as well as different & the type of shoots he has done in the past. The shot went well, he was kind, caring & helpful. I would love to work with him again in future. Thanks for great shoot & I hope we can do so again in 2023 :) All the best! message me about my next NSW trip ;)

I just had my first shoot with Mark today in Newcastle, Australia at the Somersby Falls waterfall. We planned for around 3 hours, but Mark was pleased enough with the pictures to end a bit earlier ;) He is a very lovely, easy-going and collaborative person. He came up to me a few times to see what I think about the images as the shoot progressed, which I always value. He was well-prepared and picked me up from the station on time. I am looking forward to shoot with Mark again and recommend him wholeheartedly!

Shooting with Mark was truly fabulous, I had the pleasure of working with him 9 times and each and every time he was absolutely fantastic to work with. He is one the nicest down to earth guys you'll ever meet (and I am not just saying that!) always up for a laugh, full of enthusiasm and puts his all all every shoot he does.

He pays great attention to detail, scrutinising his images to achieve the best from them. He pushes not only himself but also a model, making shoots dynamic and different each time. He is able to plan well ahead for a shoot, organising themes and concepts but he is equally at home being spontaneous and creative on the day itself!

He is incredibly considerate of a models needs and comfort (every time we shot he brought enough food to feed me for a few days, I did not go hungry!!) and in every single shoot made me feel utterly at ease and able to model to my best.

He is absolutely brilliant to work with, having the perfect balance of professionalism with personalism. I loved every shoot we did, Mark is great!! :)

Yet another fantastic shoot with Mark this week shooting outside in the sunshine all day :)

I really can't express how great it is working with him, but all you have to do is read the other references I left really!! Worked with him numerous times now (think this is our 5th?!) and then I'm working with him twice next week up in my neck of the woods as well!

I would recommend him without any hesitation what so ever!

Thanks again Mark :)

Where do I start!!? I had what can only be described as one of the most hilarious shoots with Mark last week during the Wales weekend organised by Paul's studio.

Mark booked me 'out of hours' for a short bit of shooting time in one of the rooms. We used a large window and a wide angle lens to create some totally mad images, I have not laughed so much in a long time!! I had a total blast and the hour just disappeared.

We then headed to the bathroom and created some great images in there too. All in all it was an absolute pleasure to shoot with Mark and I hope our paths cross again one day!! Thank you. :)

Had the pleasure of working with Mark again today at the Moments studio!

Never a dull moment in working with him!

Once again he was great fun to work with, easy to chat to and had some wonderful ideas.

What I love about working with Mark is he takes great care in trying to get the photos to a high standard as possible so is very good with setting up lighting and voicing what he wants from a photo.

Really enjoyed working with him again and would recommend him as always! :-)

Mark is such a lovely person to be around! A fun, kind and considerate guy who is just generally great company! I throughly enjoy each shoot with him!

This week on my tour of Kent we did 2 shoots together. The first one a full day studio/location shoot where we not only got some stunning shots out on location but we also worked on a really different concept on our studio shoot that I had enjoyed working on as it was out the ordinary for me :) The second was a short 2 hour booking at Tim's cottage where we got some great shots in the fireplace that were totally original to what I have got shot there before!

He has some great creative ideas but is always happy to take my input and really spends time perfecting the image and making sure we are both happy with the results. He also really takes care of you when shooting outside - making sure you don't get too cold and are comfortable at all times.

All in all just a great few shoots and I really look forward to our upcoming shoots next month!! Thanks again Mark - and if you've made it through that reference - it's pretty obvious that I would recommend him :)

I worked with mark over the weekend, he is such a lovely person to work with and great company too.

Mark has great creative ideas which produce beautiful images, he strives on improving his shot each time and his communication with the model is great.

I enjoyed working with mark alot and I can't wait for the next time, next month infact.

Highly recommended from me.

Thank you

Carla :)

I have worked with Mark on several occasions now, and I can honestly say I enjoy our shoots more than any other - for a number of reasons. Mark is a lovely person to be around, which is a wonderful start to any working relationship, and is wholly considerate, kind and respectful. He has so many ideas, but is always happy to work in a collaborative way - which I really appreciate, as I love being able to throw thoughts and ideas into the mix while shooting. Our most recent shoot, last week, saw us flying to Paris for a day of street photography - a first for us both, and something I had always wanted to try. It was such a fantastic experience, and I was thrilled to bits to have had such a wonderful opportunity, with such a genuinely lovely person.

I love the images we have created together so far, and I am already looking forward to trying out different ideas during our next shoot - thanks Mark! :)

This has been my 5th shoot with Mark and he is wonderful to work with! :-)

He must be one of the friendliest photographers out there, always bubbly and full of great ideas.

He also let's me bring my creative ideas to shoots too and is very encouraging throughout..

His hospitality is great too, he's always bought some tasty snacks to munch on during the shoot wihich is so kind of him.

Lastly we produce some amazing photographs together, he really knows how to capture lighting effectively and is always willing to expand his knowledge and skill in photography.

Would highly recommend to any model :-)

I worked with Mark at one of my studio days, Mark is brilliant to work with a really brought a great energy to the day. He was well prepared with his ideas which we manage to work through.

Mark Has a professional attitude towards his work but balances laughter & fun with this so well making the shoot relaxing, creative & productive.

He also brings along a lot of nibbles! which after a long day puts a smile on your face & give you that extra bit of energy. Im very happy with our shoot, I haven't seen the photos yet, but the back of the camera looked awesome.

Highly recommended! Defiantly looking forward to our possible second shoot already.

Have worked with Mark several times now and always really enjoy the shoots. Mark is such a friendly and caring guy to work with, you can't help but get on with him. Mark is always reliable and well prepared, arriving on time, and is friendly from the beginning.

Mark is really relaxed and fun guy, with a great sense of humour and an open mind to lots of cool shoot ideas. He always brings some yummy snacks to the shoot, as well as loads of kit.

He is very professional in his attitude, he communicates his ideas well and tries lots of ideas. He asks for the model's input as well as suggesting lots of creative ideas himself.

Mark works well with his models and others to get the best out of the shoot.

We produced some really lovely results and I was really pleased with the results.

Highly recommended to all, and hope to see Mark again soon!

This has now been my third shoot with Mark, this time working at the Cottage studio in West Sussex which Mark was kind enough to drive me all the way to Portsmouth when the trains weren't possible.

It was a great ending to my week touring down south and as usual was a perfect day shooting :)

Some uber cool ideas to work on again, and the images looked blooming lovely on the back of the camera so can't wait to see them!! Alongside plenty of nibbles (this always keeps me happy :D) a lovely lunch out, and plenty of time to get cleaned up after being covered in flour :P all added to a lovely day!

Thanks again Mark, and look forward to seeing you again in April!

I enjoyed a wonderfully productive 1st shoot with Mark earlier this week, in a beautiful location, he had sourced here in the NorthWest.

Mark brought so many fabulous ideas to the table and was very respectful of my creative input and willingness to experiment. Im very excited to see the days results and very much hope ill have the opportunity to work this kind-hearted, chatter-box again soon, before he departs British soils.

Highly recommended.

I really don't know where to start in leaving this reference for Mark. We worked together for the first time yesterday, and I can honestly say it was one of my favourite overall shoot experiences ever! The day was just the perfect mix of fun, focus, food (:D) and fabulousness. Mark had come to the shoot with some brilliant ideas, which just fuelled my passion and drive to get stuck in. He welcomed my input; allowing me to express my thoughts and ideas and incorporating these into the shoot during the course of the day. It really did feel like a team effort, and at the end of the day I left buzzing and excited to see more of the results.

The pre-shoot comms were great, and I knew exactly what was expected of me in terms of what to bring to the shoot. Mark is great fun to work with, and has a real commitment to making sure that the subject, lighting and composition all come together to create something brilliant. He is also very patient and looks after his models incredibly well; clearly caring about their wellbeing in every way. I had such a great time, and the day flew past unbelievably quickly.

I am already looking forward to our next shoot - thanks so much Mark!

I really can't express how much I enjoy working with Mark! This will of been my second shoot with him, and I have loved them both!

He is such a lovely person who really does treat his models well, makes sure you get enough breaks, feeds you and is also fab company :)

He had some great ideas throughout the day and I loved working on them with him to produce some fab images!

I honestly cannot recommend this guy enough, you would be crazy to not work with him, just a genuine friendly guy and a takes a great photograph too!

We already have some more shoots lined up before he abandons us all to move to sunny Australia and I'm glad we do as he will definitely be missed once he leaves!

Thanks again Mark :)

Had the pleasure of shooting with Mark a few days ago at Paul's Studio! His pre-shoot communications were fab, on the day of the shoot he arrived with a host of ideas and different lighting set ups he wanted to try! He is excellent at giving direction and expressing clearly what he wants for a shoot. Additionally he is a very fun and bubbly person to work with, he made the shoot feel utterly relaxed and enjoyable. He showed great skill and variety, trying out a range of different photographic styles! The shoot flew by, we got some beautiful shots and it was a splendid day :) I recommend him highly!

Angel.

Wonderful second shoot with Mark at the cottage studio.

He had some great ideas and he was very relaxed and professional throughout the shoot with a good sense of humour :-D

He was very friendly and easy to get along with.

We got some brilliant photos together and I can't wait to see the results!

Would recommend to anyone!

I have worked with Mark on two occasions now and both have been really lovely.

Mark is a very friendly and kind soul, with a good sense of humour and great attitude towards his models and his photography. Mark worked well with me, letting me know what he wanted, as well as asking for my input and he also worked well with other photographers showing kindness, and being very cooperative and helpful when working as part of a group.

I really enjoyed working with Mark, and am looking forward to working with him again in 2014.

Highly recommended to al!
