I had another shoot with lovely Mark last week, again a joy to work with. Mark is so respectful, easy going and is always considerate, making sure that I am ok.

I enjoyed every minute of our shoot and very much look forward to working with him again.

Mark is kind, generous and professional and I highly recommend working with him.

Thank you Mark x x

I had my third shoot with the lovely Mark and what a joy he is to work with. We have chats before we meet about what we are going to work towards and Mark is more then happy to listen to my thoughts and ideas.

Mark is full of creative ideas, suggestions and is very passionate about his work. Mark is considerate, thoughtful and fun to work with and always making sure that coffee is part of the experience!

I am really enjoying the creative, exciting journey that we are on.

Thank you Mark x x

Working with Mark is always such a dream!

An afternoon spent shooting at mine exploring and tiptoeing into themes of feminine power through soft sensuality and documentary style playfulness.

Mark's respectful and relaxed approach always creates an easy-going, sociable yet productive atmosphere for shooting, and the time just flies by. We could chat for hours! And all while creating brilliant imagery. His patience whilst trialling out new directions is much appreciated too, there's always a comfortable and pressure-free zone which I really value. I'm looking forward to our next day of creating!

Mark is always highly recommended by me 😊

I had another shoot with Mark yesterday and yet again it was bloody lovely.

A little time since our last, we met back up to kickstart the project we've been brewing together and honestly it was just what was needed to help shake the wintery cobwebs off, reignite inspiration and rebel against stagnation.

It's always such a pleasure working with Mark as his relaxed nature and respectful approach makes him someone you can feel totally comfortable around and therefore tap into anything you want to tap into and whatever calls you. It always helps to be shown the back of the camera periodically too and feel that you are in completely safe hands.

I'm brimming with excitement for where this project is going to take us and dead excited to be on this journey with him! Great to work with someone I can so easily chat to about anything, trust implicitly, who creates fantastic images and shares the same passions. Lucky me!

Thanks again Mark and see you soon x

I had my second shoot with Mark and I had another super time. Mark is so considerate and relaxed to work with and is happy to listen to suggestions and ideas and work with them. We worked in a lovely venue for a few hours stopping for a break and going for coffee in the local town, and after our shoot it was back to Marks for soup and tea. Mark is interesting, creative and fun to work with and I very much look forward to another exciting creative adventure.

I highly recommend working with Mark, he is such a pleasure to work with.

Thank you Mark x

I had my first shoot with the lovely Mark, he is exciting to work with and has lots of ideas that he wants to explore. Mark is happy for me to have input with the creative process and I have seen some of the images already and I love them, I am really looking forward to seeing some more images from our shoot.

Mark is a super lovely person he made sure I was comfortable and happy throughout the shoot. Mark is a pure joy to work with! I very much look forward to working with Mark again.

Thank you Mark.

Mark is fantastic!

Yesterday we started the beginnings of our long term project. He kindly travelled to me again and we spent the afternoon tiptoeing into some ideas we had drafted up previously at a relaxed pace. Mark is always super invested in my wellbeing and making sure I'm comfortable and it feels great to be at such ease when creating with somebody. Also, I'm not used to being given SO MUCH creative control, so this is taking some getting used to! It feels exciting. Mark's a real artist and I'm honoured to be beginning this project with him.

Watch this space!

Always a pleasure working with Mark.

He kindly hosted our shoot at his beautiful home location which is bustling with choice for spots to photograph in. We spent a couple of hours utilising their wonderful garden and old railway wagon and chatting about future project ideas.

A lovely host, a lovely afternoon, lovely cuppas and a lovely understanding of the delay I faced travelling from London! And of course lovely photos from what I've seen so far! Always recommended. 😁

Thankyou Mark, see you when I return from Pilton for sure!

Second shoot complete!

And what a beautiful day spent roaming the forests and reigniting a sense of feminine power! It was quite freeing to be given an almost complete lead on the direction we took, I'm not entirely used to such things!

Mark is a relaxed and extremely talented photographer who's style of shooting I adore. I bloody love the shots that the day has birthed already and I can't wait to see the rest. I'm genuinely buzzing for shoot number three and a further intertwining of our styles and ideas.

Thanks again Mark, onwards to world domination for sure!

I'm delighted to leave Mark his first reference on this site!

After a while of admiring his work, we met up for a wonderful introductory shoot yesterday where we chatted about future project ideas, our aligned interests, got to know each other a little and captured some amazing imagery too, despite the rain! A really lovely chilled out yet productive morning.

Mark is a really down to earth & genuine guy, with a fantastic artistic eye and a beautifully raw and real approach to his work. I'm honoured to be joining creative forces with him ~ bring on shoot two next week!

Absolutely recommend.

Thanks again Mark!
