Mark booked me during a recent trip to London and after a few thorough messages, we had everything arranged. We worked at LRM Photography's amazing home studio and got through loads of really stunning sets during the day, whilst still having time for plenty of breaks and chatter. Mark has a fantastic eye for composition and colour and I ended up taking hundreds of back-of-camera shots for my social media because I loved them so much! As well as his obvious talent, I found Mark to be really easy to talk to, professional and genuine - it was a pleasure to model for him and I hope to do so again in the future. Highly recommended!

I've recently had my second shoot with Mark and I requested him specifically. We've shot with Mark once before and when it comes to fashion, I hardly know a better man for the job. Mark knows good locations in London and has a good eye for classy fashion photography no matter how crowded the place. A Londoner through and through both in spirit and taste. I will always associate the capital of the UK with him now. I'm very pleased with our second shoot and warmly recommend him to anyone who wants to shoot fashion.

I’m so glad I got the chance to work with Mark today at my home! He is a lovely guy, amazing photographer and so open to ideas. We absolutely killed it with the first set! He showed me different ideas with the house and explored new avenues with it which I didn’t think was possible at this point. Mark is very creative and it was an absolute pleasure to work with him on fun set ups. I hope I get to work with him again at some point, highly recommended. Thanks :)

Well I was lucky enough to get to have a second shoot with Mark yesterday which was just fabulous!!

The shoot itself was a spur of the moment idea and was organised super quickly! Mark was super lovely the first time we shot so I was looking forward to having a bit longer with him on this shoot :)

We shot for 4 fabulous hours and we covered lots of different genres, from beauty to lifestyle to lingerie to some gel work!

I really like marks attitude to shooting - it was super relaxed however, we worked hard to make sure we nailed the shot!! And boy looking at the back of the camera shots I think we did! We shot some beauty shots with my hair up and actually they are some of my favourite photographs ever taken of me - so high five mark!! (As at the risk of sounding big headed- That's saying something) mind saying that, I think I lived every set :)

I love how creative mark is and love that he experiments when shooting! :) i felt super comfortable around mark - he was very respectful and professional though we did have lots of laughs!!

I would really love to work with Mark again! Highly recommended by me!! :)

I was so excited when Mark said he was joining myself and Chris Conway for a full day of events at studio 33.

Having worked with him beforehand i knew just how lovely he was and his infectious personality made the atmosphere perfect throughout the day. Such a genuine guy who is an absolute pleasure to model for and i hope to do so again in the future. He has a clear passion for photography and keen to learn more. He took on board everything he was taught on the day and i look forward to seeing the results.

Thank you so much for joining us and being a great asset to the group!!

100% recommended by me!!

Yesterday I had my first shoot with Mark, I've been a fan of his work for some time and I was so pleased to get to work with him :)

Mark was so laid back but has a really efficient shooting style, we flew through sets without anything feeling rushed, it all just worked! We had a vague moodboard but just went with what felt right and from the first set we were getting images we were both really pleased with. He is brilliant company, funny and really respectful and an all round pleasure to work with

Highly recommended and thank you! x

My location shoot with Mark and a fellow model, Xenia Kostas, was very enjoyable and productive despite the rainy weather, which threatened to go against our plans. Mark is extremely professional, courteous, friendly and fun to work with. He took us to beautiful spots in London, gave us plenty of helpful suggestions and allowed us to try a variety of ideas. He also edited a number of images of our choice for us in a very brief delay and shared them with us.

I have no hesitation in recommending Mark to any model and hope we'll have a chance to work with him again. Many thanks, Mark!

We had a shoot with Mark on October 26th, which turned out to be quite a rainy day despite the previous sunny forecast. Nevertheless, we managed just fine. Mark is very friendly and has a good eye for various photogenic spots in London. More importantly, we share a common interest in fashion in all its forms. So, already in pre-communications we connected quite well and knew what we’d want from this shoot. As a result, the consequent shoot went very smoothly and was quite fun despite the rain. I hope Mark feels the same.

If there is anything I’d complain about it’s the weather—something that just couldn’t be helped—if it wasn’t for that, we would have come up with a lot more fascinating concepts. As it was, the shoot was still great. We improvised and came up with quite a variety of images using only one outfit—this in itself is a great compliment to Mark, for if he was able to organise the shoot in the rain taking us through different shooting spots in the area, which is a definite sign of a professional. I definitely recommend Mark and would gladly shoot with him again. Hopefully next time, there’ll be more luck with the weather 😊

As always the shoot was lots of fun.

Mark is the perfect gentlemen always checking if I'm ok and giving lots of positive encouragement and direction. His expertise was recognised and he'd already scoped out two great areas to shoot at in London.

I can't wait to see the final images,I’m looking forward to our next shoot together. I very highly recommend Mark.

Mark is a super guy to have a shoot with! He booked me at The Hacienda (this ref is way overdue - sorry!) and we had a blast.

We spent a lot of the time laughing and chatting, but it didn't detract from our shoot time.. we were productive and the photos were awesome. I don't think he's a fan of my music choice though, HAHA!

Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of Mark's company on a social level at London Fashion week and it was great to catch up. He's chilled, down to earth, a really genuine guy with a great energy.

It'd be a pleasure to shoot again with him - highly recommended! :D

I had the pleasure of getting to shoot with Mark on his first visit to the lovely Thurston lodge.

Mark was wonderful before the shoot ensuring I knew all the details of the day and the sort of look he was after meaning I could prepare appropriately for the shoot.

During the day Mark was an absolute pleasure to work with. Incredibly kind and considerate as well as easy to chat with whilst shooting. Mark was lovely enough to keep showing me back of camera asking for opinions and to ensure I was happy with what we were creating - which I most certainly was!!

I would absolutely recommend Mark, he is a delight to work with and I hope to shoot with him again. x

I had a shoot with Mark Rowe last year in London. He was great, professional and creative, the job was fantastic! I look forward to working with him again. Highly recommended

Zara Watson

Had another brilliant shoot with Mark at the Natural Light Studio. He sent me a great mood board before the shoot, so I had a guide on what to pack and what looks we were aiming for. We shot lots of different styles on the day and they were all amazing! I love Mark's taste, the things he wants to shoot & the images he puts in mood boards are always what I love too! So I always really look forward to our shoots. As usual Mark is also kind enough to show me images when we are shooting and we can look if we can improve what we are doing as we go along. Mark is relaxed, friendly, a genuinely lovely man and always a pleasure to work with.

Thanks for another brilliant shoot :D :D Highly recommended :)

Mark was in the studio today on a small group shoot with LRM, Bad Dolly and Zara Watson.

A great guy who is a pleasure to have around. He worked well with Zara throughout the day with Zara. Respectful and polite a real gent.

We look forward to welcoming him back in the studio :)

I was very lucky to get a shoot with Mark as it was only made possible by a last minute cancellation! He attended one of my studio days at The Hacienda in London.

Although we had very few days to sort the shoot Marks comms were amazing! polite yet straight to the point - which meant we were able to sort the slot quickly and everyone was happy! he even went to the effort of creating a moodboad just for the shoot which instantly showed me how dedicated to the shoot he was which i very much appreciated!!

We tried a series of different shots! Mark did not over shoot at all! he knew when he got a good image and stopped to move on to the next set which is always great in my books as it keeps the shoot to a good pace, and meant we were able to get lots dont in the few hours we had. the shoot was very relaxed!

Mark listened to my ideas and went with them so it felt like a real collaboration! The shots on the back of the camera looked great! Mark had some fab compositions!

Mark was very fun, vibrant and had a great energy - he was polite and respectful and was eager to make sure I was somfortable (warm etc) throughout the shoot!

I'd love the chance to work with mak again as I really enjoyed our shoot together! And loved the results. Reccomended by me!

So I had a wonderful first shoot with Mark during my studio day at The Hacienda, London. Mark was one of the first people to book time on the day so the shoot itself was arranged pretty far in advance!... I have to mention that comms were brilliant, we had mood boards and ideas which was so helpful!

On the day we arrived at the same time and I was greeted with a big smile!...

Mark was friendly and chatty and after a cuppa and a talk through ideas we got to shooting...

As we were both new to the space we decided to just go with the flow and try different things.... Mark worked mainly with natural light and the occasional fill light and was able to balance the two well and also was happy for me to make suggestions!.... it certainly felt like we really worked together and created some really stunning images!...

I would certainly recommend Mark to other models, I found him to be really relaxed, chatty and he made me more than comfortable throughout shooting!...

Thanks again Mark & I do hope we get to work together again in the future!

I came across Mark's profile on instagram after being recommended by another model. I contacted him in the hope that he would be up for shooting. Mark was very pleasant to work with, he kept in contact when we spoke about shoot themes and locations and he drove all the way to Chelmsford from London for our location as I was having issues with the train lines. Mark was on time and I immediately felt comfortable in his company. The weather was a little unexpected but we adapted well to our surroundings and ended up with some great images. For anyone thinking of working with Mark, you will not be disappointed. We had a great shoot and I will definitely be contacting him again. Thanks Mark :)

Do you know that feeling when you meet someone and just feel so comfortable to be with him even though you have just met each other? Yea? So that is my sort of view on Mark. He is so funny, creative, interesting artist with an easygoing character, big heart and with great stories to tell! For me thats the important part during photoshoots! I felt like a teenager, simply so crazy, street style fashion. We do have a memory from this day with very interesting guy who came to us like "do you know the fuck who I am?! Im famous, you ll gonna pay me for a shoot begging me to have a pic of me" yeah very cool homeless guy :D! With Mark you will gonna have a memory, guaranteed! Amazing day man, we were a great team! Highly recommended to all of you!

Zara Watson
