I recently had a shoot with Mark at Aura Photographic Studio in Birmingham! It was my studio day and he booked an hour with me.

An hour is usually a very little amount of time to shoot something properly good. However, that is not the case with Mark. He surprised me with his professionalism and keen interest in photography. In that one hour he managed to capture some kick ass images! Many photographers would not be able to do that! :)

Mark has an exceptional skill to notice small details, therefore he told me if certain pose did not work with surroundings or the outfit! I also liked that he gave me the chance of freestyling, so I felt comfortable and posed naturally, like I would and like there is no camera in front of me! :)

I highly recommend Mark, he is professional and great person to talk to and have a laugh with! :)

Kisses,

I had another great shoot with Mark :) He is a superstar to work with - funny, friendly, respectful and generally great company. One thing I found unusual with mark is that he is happy for you to comment on images, angles and anything.....id never usually with most people, as I would worry they would take offence. It was so refreshing that mark wants your opinion and it so relaxed with it! This is rare and so lovely! high 5! :D

I love Mark's work anyway, he has great ideas and the images I have seen from the shoot look fab! He is so easy to work with, perfectionist ....which is cool too, wants to get the shot he is happy with.

Thank you soooo much for a fab shoot! (sorry for the delay in the ref!)

Very highly recommended :D

Had a short shoot with Mark on John Barone's studio day.

Unfortunately we only had 1 hour to kick some ass And we did!

We made a beautiful set in natural light with gorgeous black lingerie.

Mark is friendly, immediately makes you feel comfortable as model and last but not least: big fun!

Thank you Mark and hopefully next time we will have more time to shoot!

I had my first shoot with Mark yesterday, which I had been looking forward to in a long time, and he didn't disappoint. Pre-comms were great, jaffas at the ready at the studio, and the shoot went amazingly well. Minus the casual put downs about my feet and the awful taste in music, mark was very friendly and had great ideas. I already have some of the photos and I love them. would 100% recommend and would love to work with him again :) thanks again shorty x

I'm glad I had the opportunity to work with Mark. We spent the day shooting and I must say I felt very comfortable and welcomed. I was also kept well fed and hydrated :)

I feel we worked well together, with great communication and direction between the two of us, which of course led to a great selection of images and developing a good, friendly working relationship. I'm really happy with the style and the mood captured within the shots - exactly what I was hoping to achieve. I'd be more than happy to work with you again Mark :)

Thanks,

I had a great shoot with Mark when he came over to my place a couple of weeks ago.

We focused on 'dark and moody' and got some super shots from the time we spent together.

Mark was polite and easy to work with. He came with ideas of his own but also let me do my thing! Really liking the images I have seen so far :) Thank you Mark.

The photoshoot was at the Radisson Blu hotel in Birmingham with Mark and another photographer. I met Mark outside the hotel and we went up to the room, he made me feel really comfortable and was really good with directions!! He brought a ton of ideas to the shoot and also asked what I wanted to achieve. Communication was excellent after the shoot and I got more images than I could hope for back really quickly. I have no problem recommending Mark to anyone!! :)

I met Mark at a group night at Aura studios in Birmingham last month.

Mark was great to work with, felt comfortable when shooting with mark, easy going and his photography skills are brilliant. The images I have seen from the night are fab and I fully recommend Mark to any model out there. Thank you :)

I had my first shoot with Mark today and it was SO good! :) We had a great day and the pictures I have received from him (Already!) are just amazing! Mark is a great laugh and a really nice guy! We had great communications before our shoot and although I traveled over 150 miles to shoot with him it was 100% worth it!

I would strongly suggest working with this lovely many if you get the chance! I certainly hope I will get to work with him again.. and again.. and again :D

Thank you Mark for a lush day... and the lunch... although fish and chips would be nice next time ;) Haha :D

I had a lovely shoot with Mark at my home location. Mark was really well prepared, on time (early as a matter of fact!), and had sent lots of useful pre- shoot communications so I was well prepared and ready to help him shoot what he was aiming for.

Mark is really friendly, professional and a we great laugh the whole time.

He had some great ideas and his good communications skills meant that we were working towards a common goal and could collaborate brilliantly.

We created some sensual, romantic and feminine images, and I hope Mark is as delighted with them as I am!

I really hope to work with this great phorographer again soon, and can highly recommend him.
