I would recommend mark and his lovely wife to anyone! I've never felt so welcomed and at home with a photographer! I felt relaxed on the shoot and he has an amazing talent with his photography so far have seen some amazing images that he's been able to capture today and I can't wait to add them to my portfolio! I'm really glad I got to work with him and hopefully am able to work with him again in the future! Cannot thank him enough!! And I wish him all the best with his photography X

Working with Mark last week was a genuine delight. Simple as.

It was clear as daylight from the start that Mark is a true gentleman, so respectful and so easy to work with.

For me it was justwonderful for a shoot to be so easy going and relaxed, yet highly productive... not just the number, but also the quality of looks we managed to shoot was fantastic.

I never felt rushed or under pressure and Mark gave me plenty of time to adjust each makeup look properly which is really appreciated.

Since the shoot Mark hasn't stopped impressing me. The quality of the images are amazing and I absolutely love them. It's also been really nice and quite refreshing to be involved in the editing process re wanting to hear my feedback and making any adjustments.

Thank you so much Mark, and also Sharron for helping me with the sheet for the last look (for the jewellery too!) , it was a pleasure to meet you too. I really look forward to working with you again in the future and I wish you the very, very best.

Gemma :)

Whoop finally got to shoot with this crazy dude!

Wicked quick pre comms, with a fun mood board for our shoot, Mark was even kind enough to come and pick me up and drop me back off at home, after shooting at his studio :)

We started the day off with a chat over coffee, and had a think over over what we were going to shoot first. Throughout the day we had several breaks, I was very well watered with coffee and offered many other refreshments :D

We shot a series of fashion, grunge, casual, lingerie, beautiful boudoir, and I even got to have a play with his motorcycle (after he hid the keys!). Mark's studio is incredibly versatile with his array of lighting, backdrops, and with him shooting tethered I could easily see what we were shooting without having to look at the back of the camera.

Mark is such a delight to shoot with, it's always wonderful shooting someone that has an actual passion for what they do, such an eye for detail and we certainly had the same feelings towards selective colour :P huge sense of humour as well, must say I was highly entertained on our shoot, as much as Mark is super fun and easy to work with he's as down to earth as he is professional!

Already seeing some truly stunning shots from our shoots, and I'm so impressed with how much we got through in such a short amount of time especially as we were chatting so much.

Extremely and highly recommended by me, and I cannot wait for our next shoot when we take it up a notch :)

Thanks for a groovy day,

Had a wonderful shoot with Mark yesterday, this was one of my most enjoyable shoots in a while. His pre shoot communications were fantastic, we swapped ideas and planned the styles we were going to go for. He informed me that he would be happy for me to bring a chaperone and although I didn't feel the need, I found it to be very considerate. His studio set up is fantastic, we were able to view the images on a large computer screen as they were being taken, this was very helpful in marking which ones we both liked the most. Mark offered me refreshments and food throughout the day, he even insisted on driving me home which is over an hour away. We achieved some fantastic images. I highly recommend working with Mark, he is a true professional.

Wow! What a truly amazing experience. I was approached by Mark recently to do a shoot and I was a little nervous because he didn't have any references. He was so understanding and provided references from others he had worked with. His pre comms were exceptional, providing me with images he would like to try and asked if there was anything I'd like to do also. He made sure I knew where I was going and he gave details of where his studio was.

When my make up artist and I arrived we were greeted by Mark and his stunning wife. They were both welcoming, friendly and offered us drinks. We were showed around and made to feel comfortable. The house and studio is beautiful. I was really impressed with his computer and camera equipment. It was really great to see the images on the screen as we progressed. As a model I find this really helpful to see what works and what doesn't.

Throughout the shoots Mark was polite, professional and a gentleman asking if I was okay and bringing us drinks. I even got a pink straw with my drink :)

Having seen the images on the screen and one he has sent me, I am blown away at how amazing they are. Really amazing images. I would highly recommend him and would work with him again. Thanks Mark

Had a brilliant day shooting with Mark!

Mark hired me along with a model friend of mine who he was already working with after he saw my work through social media. Luckily I was able to rearrange my schedule and head over to Doncaster on short notice - and I'm so glad I did!

Mark was professional and so talented. He was also extremely knowledgeable with photography which is very reassuring when you're a model or makeup artist looking for something in particular.

He made sure both myself and the model were looked after throughout the entire shoot, always topping up our drinks and made sure we had a bite to eat!

We shot in his home studio which was a breath of fresh air. Going to someone's house can be a little daunting but I can't stress enough how professional, safe and welcoming every thing is at Mark's studio, with everything a passionate photographer would need all in one place. He knew exactly what he was talking about and what to look for in his photos.

Would absolutely recommend Mark for his amazing images and friendly nature.

I can't wait for any future shoots with you, thank you!
