My second shoot with Mark last night at a group shoot event organised by Red Tree Studio in Nottingham.

As before, it was a pleasure to see Mark again and work with him. I find Mark incredibly inspiring and he always has lots of wonderful and quirky ideas to work with!! Last nights shoot was no exception!!! We worked through four different sets and Mark was full of lots of great ideas, and made sure to shoot from lots of different angles and perspectives to capture lots of awesome shots!!

I would of course highly reccomend Mark and very much look forward to working with him again later this month!! Thank you Mark!!

I had my first shoot with Mark on Saturday and it was a blast!

I stumbled upon his portfolio a little while back and was immediately drawn in by the creativity and fresh ideas. We got chatting and organised a shoot during my Northern tour this Autumn and I'm so pleased he booked me!

Mark is a breath for fresh air for imaginative photography. Our brains were swimming with ideas and we found it difficult to narrow them down, but opted for two themes during a 4 hour shoot at The Pigeon Loft in Nottingham. Even trying to scale it back to two main ideas was tough as we had so many avenues we wanted to venture into for each theme, that we could have spent the whole afternoon on either one of them! I cannot express enough how lovely it is to work with people who think outside the box and want to create something different, and Mark is for sure one of them. I rate that so highly!

We spent the first half shooting body projections and the second half shooting atmospheric & moody softly erotic imagery. I really love Marks inviting approach to mutual expression and how much he wanted to hear and explore my ideas too, that's always such a bonus! The time absolutely flew by and the back of the camera images looked just fantastic. His effects with creative lighting and lens filters are unreal, those really drew me in and I loved playing around with them.

Mark is a top notch photographer - very chilled yet also proactive, super easy to talk to, extremely accommodating (lifts to and from the station AND got me lunch!) and respectful too. I thoroughly enjoyed working with him and I'm elated that he wants to set up more projects in future.

I highly recommend working with him of course and look forward to more wonderful shoots to come. Thanks again Mark, til next time! 😊

I just LOVE working with photographers who are full of creative ideas - Mark is indeed one of them!

Well in advance of our shoot Mark sent me a fully realised posing+outfits+ideas moodboard which really excited me from the get-go.

When the shoot day came, although we have never worked together before, we knew exactly what we were doing. Mark also made sure to show me BOC throughout the shoot so that we could both improve the photos produced by tweaking the lighting and working on certain poses.

I highly recommend working with Mark, he is respectful, organised and professional. I was lucky enough to get booked by him already again - and I am really looking forward to it :)

Thank you,

After a long time trying to arrange a shoot with Mark, we finally met during my studio day in Kiln studio. Wow, what a fantastic experience! Mark came prepared with his own background, props, and a clear vision for the shoot. His ideas were so unique and inspiring, and I was excited to bring them to life. He gave me the freedom to express myself and encouraged me to contribute my emotions and creativity to his concepts, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

We worked with various props—chairs, flowers, and even breaking plates that he had brought specifically for the shoot! Afterward, he sent me the edited photos, and wow, they are so creative and artistic. Mark has an incredible eye for angles and lighting, and his vision turns photos into true pieces of art. It’s always a pleasure to work with photographers who strive to create something meaningful and unique. Thank you, Mark, for a wonderful shoot. I’m thrilled with the results and look forward to working with you again in the future!

I had an amazing experience while shooting with Mark, what a creative and amusingly talented photographer Mark is.

Mark has an impressive photography vision, his approach for photography is very authentic and artistic so he did create a concept for our shoot and it turned out to be a total success. All due to a great pre-communication, good understanding between a photographer and a model and of course Mark possesses such a great talent, I was very much impressed with level of preparation and creativity Mark put in creating a narrative story for our shoot.

I really enjoyed shooting with Mark, we had a lot of fun and I really like how contagiously enthusiastic Mark was, we got into a working mode immediately and worked together like a great team. That was such a unique experience for me, i can’t wait to shoot with Mark again and be a part of his photography adventure.

Many thanks Mark, I am looking forward to shooting with you again.

Highly recommended,100%

Working with Mark was a fantastic experience! He is incredibly talented and maintained excellent communication before and throughout the entire process. He came prepared with specific ideas and images, each with a thoughtful narrative that made the shoot truly unique. Mark is kind, considerate, friendly, and professional, making him an absolute pleasure to work with. I would love to work with Mark again and highly recommend him!

I had a lovely time shooting with Mark at PGD Photography Studio. He is very keen on experimentation and professional throughout. We played around with quirky angles, smoke machines, projectors, all sorts of setups. Communications went smoothly. Mark was very enthusiastic and well prepared. Overall nothing to fault. I recommend him and would love to work with him again.

Mark responded to one of my casting calls about a shoot up at Basford Hurst Cottage and needless to say I was so glad he did!!! From the moment we started chatting about a shoot I knew we were going to have a lot of fun!! Mark's pre-comms were great and he gave me plenty of interesting ideas on the lead up to the shoot. Not only that, Mark was also very interested in how I wanted to interpret his suggestions for shoot ideas / themes / moods which I am always very grateful for!!

On the day of the shoot Mark arrived on time with everything he needed. He also brought with him some rather interesting props including some dead roses and a toilet.... Which of course, we took great enjoyment getting creative with!! Throughout the shoot Mark was happy for me to pose freely and we took some inspiration from Peter Coulson and how he allows his models to flow and tell stories. Mark spent the majority of the shoot capturing images from many different angles and never stopped working hard!! He paid a lot of close attention to the lighting and was keen to ensure it was flattering especially when shooting some art nude work.

Mark was happy for me to review the back of the camera with him throughout and was completely respectful of me throughout the shoot. I thoroughly enjoyed shooting with Mark and I saw three edited images appear on the evening after the shoot!!! Needless to say, I can't wait to see some more!!! Thanks for a great shoot Mark, highly recommended and looking forward to the next one!! :D

Basford Hurst Cottage Photography Location

Mark came to Basford Hurst Cottage for a mornings shoot with our resident model and studio owner Miss C.

All pre comms with Mark were great and he arrived on time with everything he needed for a great shoot!! Throughout the day Mark was completely respectful of our location and very happy to ask if he ever needed anything. Mark is polite, friendly and very easy to have around.

We would have no hesitation reccomend a shoot with Mark and look forward to welcoming him back to Basford again soon!! Thank you for shooting at Basford!!! :D

This is my second shoot with Mark. He is a consummate professional throughout and dedicated to achieving the best result he can. The process was discussed in pre shoot communications to ensure ideas were agreed and outfits were selected. This really makes the whole process effortless and relaxed. Come shoot day we were raring to go. Mark always puts the models needs first and makes sure you’re at ease, which is completely reassuring. We had a continuation of a theme we had first run of at another studio and decided it was so good that we needed to explore further. We also completed two other themes that were completely different. The images I’ve seen so far are outstanding. If you want to achieve something thought provoking and artistic then I recommend Mark wholeheartedly.

I have just had another shoot with Mark and I'm very glad I did!

As always Mark came along with a very creative and interesting theme for our shoot. I really enjoyed working with him to capture the essence of his story telling. I'm delighted with the results from this shoot and am looking forward to seeing the rest!

Thank you so much Mark for another great shoot!!

Great to have Mark back in the studio for Kate Star's studio day.

Always like to see what Mark plans for his shoots and the story he is telling through the images.

Very friendly guy and creative photographer.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Mark during my studio day at PGD.

Upon meeting Mark was friendly, welcoming, kind and professional. Once we started shooting, it became apparent that Mark is passionate about his craft and truly enjoys it.

In his pre-comms he was very clear about the type of images he was striving to achieve, which helped me prepare for the shoot and pack appropriately. Despite some minor technical challenges on the day, which Mark creatively overcame, we made the best of the areas and got creative with angles, light and poses, achieving some fantastic shots as a result.

Mark took some beautiful shots and was respectful towards me throughout our time together, it was a very productive, creative and enjoyable shoot.

I can recommend him without doubt and look forward to working together again.

Another brilliant shoot with Mark today!

Very different from our last shoot which was character based, this time I travelled up to Notts for a studio lingerie shoot and had an absolute blast! Mark's pre comms were absolutely perfect so I knew exactly what to bring and he was there to meet me at the station. He was even kind enough to take me to get some lunch before the shoot :)

The shoot absolutely flew by, Mark had so many amazing creative ideas and the execution was flawless, I can't wait to see the final images.

Always an absolute pleasure, and I can't wait to shoot again!

Highly recommended from me x

I worked with Mark for the first time on my studio at R6 Photography Studio and what a fantastic shoot it was!

Communications prior to the shoot were fab and Mark sent me clear ideas and outfits and what to bring. When Mark arrived I knew it would be a good shoot, he has a lovely calm demeanour and a warm personality.

We flew through the ideas and as we went along he showed me the images and they looked beautiful and they certainly were, Mark has already sent me some and they are stunning!

The time flew by so quick which means it was a great shoot! Mark is absolutely lovely and a fantastic photographer and we are already discussing future shoots! Wholeheartedly recommended!

R6 Photography Studio

Mark joined us for the first time in the studio at Lottie's studio day.

Mark arranged the lighting as needed and clearly knows what he is doing to achieve the vision from his shoot.

We did have a brief chat during the shoot time and Mark is very friendly and passionate about his photography.

Look forward to having Mark back again in the future.

Mark reached out to me for a home shoot and very happy he did so.

Marks pre comms are spot on, he’s very thorough in his idea and definitely has a clear creative mind. We discussed a few set ideas and gratefully Mark was happy for me to contribute thoughts and ideas of my own.

Mark arrived on time, we had a quick natter to layout the shoot and got started! Mark is lovely to work, very polite and respectful and an all around creative photographer who is more than happy for me to contribute any suggestions to improve the shot.

I’d be more than happy to recommend Mark to any model of any level of experience. Looking forward to working together again soon!

Thanks again,

Jasmine

This was the very first time working with Mark and I am happy to say that I’m hoping it shall not be my last.

From start to finish I felt we had a great understanding of what was required in the shoot. Mark is creative and committed to the theme of which was perfect, plus he has great lighting and photography skills. We had a good amount of pre communication prior to the run up which enabled me to create the outfits and absorb the ideas. Mark was completely in tune with me and likewise, so I feel this is reflected in the images we have produced. Both of us felt the 2 hours passed way too fast.

My needs were always a priority and that I felt at ease. He wanted me to achieve what I wanted from the shoot and I felt we excelled.

I cannot wait until we can work together again and I recommend him to any mod or studio.

Thank you Mark.

Another fantastic shoot where Mark has lived up to his PP name!!

Fantastic shoot that was extremely well thought out and planned on Marks side even if it did take a little time to clean up afterwards!!

As militant and regimented as his pre planning is - his results are always incredible and showcase the true artist that he is!! A lovely man to talk to and to share ideas and express creativity with - the hours whizzed past!!

All in all, and etc shoot with a lovely, respectful and creative wizard!!

Highly recommended!!

Mark booked onto mine and LEnza’s most recent studio dat at Studio 88 through LEnza herself (as they have worked together previously) so it was great to sit down and talk through the shoot plan and desired outcome/intentions etc with Mark when he arrived at the studio! And to also meet him! The ideas we worked on to conclude his current object theme were great and really utilised both mine and Vals backgrounds (both in terms of movement, shape and friendship) and the 2 hour booking flew by as we all really sunk into this theme. I hope to work with Mark again one day in the not so distant future, and highly recommend him to other models/studios! Thanks Mark!
