It was lovely to meet Mark when he came to my home to shoot Iris Rosa and Angel Black.

Although I didn’t work with him myself I seen first hand that he’s a very respectful and kind photographer who was great to have.

I look forward to working with him some time before he attends my Sicily event next year.

I've had the pleasure of many shoots with Mark so I knew our most recent was going to be epic. Mark is a phenomenal photographer, and a great person to be around. His vision for this shoot focused on Halloween and he worked with me to build the sets to make them as spooky as we could.

Mark was polite and professional throughout the shoot and we bantered like old friends. It really is a great day whenever I'm shooting with Mark! He came armed with an abundance of Halloween props and worked them into the set. He was accommodating in between when I needed to make outfit changes which meant sticking fangs to my teeth (which took me a few minutes of faffing!) and took that time to work with on the lighting.

We were also due to shoot at the local fair, but once arrived we realised it was simply too busy so we opted to call it quits and hung out as a group going on some rides. I really think it's important to note this because it just shows how go with the flow Mark can be. He worked hard throughout the shoot to get exceptional shots, was polite and professional but also very free and easy to talk with. He'd travelled over 2 hours to get to the shoot and had shot for 2 hours prior as well, so an all round superstar.

Highly recommended from me and an all round great shoot!

Thankyou so much!

I had my first shoot with Mark and time flew by so quickly! friendly, kind and easy to chat to. A friendly demeanor. I loved the photos I saw on the back of the camera and I also loved the ideas that he put on a moodboard for me :) chatted throughout the shoot and got great shots. I highly recommend ! and would love to work with Mark again

🎞 Kempston Studio [Studio Hire, Bedford] 🎞

Mark booked the studio for a couple of hours for a shoot with Maria91 yesterday evening having driven 2.5 hrs to get here.

Mark is competent photographer who knows his lighting and camera and was all the time respectful to Maria the studio and its equipment.

Chatty and held a good conversation as he shot Mark worked through some ideas that he had previously sent to Maria.

Happy to recommend Mark and although some distance from his home I hope to see Mark again at the studio.

I have had the absolute pleasure of working with Mark on many occasions all over the country, this time he dragged me North to the wonderful Bodyline Studio in Nottingham and boy am I glad he did! This shoot saw us start off in a nearby park, darting between the rain but still capturing some spring and summer vibes on location before heading to the studio.

Important to note was Mark's pre shoot communications which were exceptional! He gave me a really good brief of what he wanted to achieve throughout the shoot including outfit suggestions as well which helped my packing process.

During the shoot itself, Mark was polite, professional and a perfect gentleman (as always!). We get along brilliantly and conversation easily flows between us, which I believe you can tell in the images!

We worked our way through a few of the many sets available at Bodyline Studio and Mark happily moved the lighting around throughout, adjusting his camera settings accordingly. As I've mentioned previously, Mark has a keen eye for photography and an equally keen eye for detail which really helps to create that perfect shot.

I always feel very comfortable working with Mark and would probably travel to the ends of the earth to shoot with him at this point ;)

He's a consumate professional who can hold a good conversation and takes gorgeous pictures - of course I recommend Mark, wholeheartedly!

Thankyou for another amazing shoot, I look forward to our next!

I had my first shoot with Mark in Birmingham, first exploring the streets and then back to his hotel for some lingerie/art nude.

Mark is very easy to get along with and the time flew by! We managed a lot of different sets and Mark was clearly putting a lot of thought into his framingnand lighting and I'm excited to see the results!

Thanks for a great shoot Mark and hopefully we work together again!

Another amazing shoot with Mark, this time in my home studio and what another great shoot it was! Mark's pre shoot communications were excellent, he was clear with me in advance and we had a vague plan in place before the shoot. During the shoot itself, Mark was an absolute gentleman, he was super professional and friendly. As usual conversation easily flowed and we captured some phenomenal shots! We did a variety of sets, location and in my home and took advantage of a somewhat sunny winter day.

Mark's photographic ability is phenomenal, nothing bothers him, he's able to adjust his settings easily and without hesitation.

I love working with Mark, and highly recommend him to other creatives. I look forward to seeing the final results!

Thankyou for another great shoot!

Today I had a great photoshoot with Mark in Brighton. All the communication before and during the shoot was spot on.

When we meet Mark was professional, friendly, respectful, creative, kind and lovely! 

We walked around Brighton to find some great locations and we did and Mark took some amazing images.

I thoroughly enjoyed shooting with him and also chatting with him during our session.

I would definitely say yes to shooting with him again!

Highly recommended photographer and person!

Thank you so much!

I had a lovely (impromptu) third shoot with Mark, over the course of three years! This time was as a duo with the lovely Angel Black. Pre comms were great, the images that I’ve seen back of cam look incredible, and an all-round fun day was had!

Looking forward to shoot number 4 :)

This was my first official shoot with Mark and hopefully wont be the last. I'm so grateful Mark booked our barbie-themed workshop at studio 88 as he absolutely nailed it from all aspects!

He showed up completely prepared with a positive mindset! Shooting was easy with Mark and super chilled out and open to any wacky ideas suggested! :)

From the Images I've seen from Mark after the day, its safe to say he #1 is a great photographer and #2 knows how to cleanly edit photos! very complimentary for all models.

Highly recommended.

I worked with Mark for the first time on my splash tank studio day at Studio 88.

The shoot went very smoothly, Mark was prompt and we got shooting straight away. He was professional, courteous and friendly. I am looking forward to seeing the results.

I would recommend working with Mark.

Mark is such an ace person to work with. He's incredibly professional and relaxed which help to produce simply stunning results. His pre shoot communications are always flawless and really well laid out, in a very clear way to understand, minimising the ping ponging of messages which is great!

On the day itself Mark arrived on time and good to go, despite being caught in Bank Holiday traffic! He'd organised a further two models to join us throughout the shoot and it all went really smoothly.

I love working with Mark because he creates such a great atmosphere and he's always a pleasure to be around. We have good conversation throughout and its like catching up with an old friend now!

Thankyou for another fantastic shoot!

I had the pleasure of doing a photoshoot with Mark yesterday, and I must say it was an incredible experience from start to finish. Mark is a talented and professional photographer who truly knows how to capture the essence of their subjects.

From the moment we started discussing the concept of the shoot, Mark was helpful and provided me with a mood board but was also open to my ideas.

During the shoot, Mark made me feel comfortable and at ease, creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.

Aside from his technical expertise, he was organised and kept me informed throughout the entire process.

Working with Mark was an absolute pleasure, and I highly recommend his services to anyone. I am grateful for the remarkable images we created together, and I look forward to working with Mark again in the future.

It's always a pleasure to work with Mark, and this shoot was no different. His pre shoot communications were excellent and he gave me a rough idea of what he wanted to shoot ahead of the studio day at Neon Dreams Studio.

When he arrived, he was on time and happy to jump straight into the shoot. He was polite and professional (as always!) and didn't hesitate to adjust the lighting or his camera settings whenever necessary.

We always produce amazing images and this shoot was no different, the back of camera shots looked fantastic!

Thankyou for another amazing shoot and I look forward to seeing you again!

Had my first shoot with mark the other day At fareham studio.

Mark is friendly and professional to work with, and also knows what he is looking for from each shot.

We mainly went for a dark background with coloured lights and I really loved the way he used the lighting in the images.

Really happy with how the shoot went and definitely recommend!
