I had the pleasure of working with Mark at Quest Studios in London. After a six-year hiatus from photography, Mark returned, and I felt honored to be his first model post-break. It was remarkable how effortlessly he resumed shooting, considering his extended break from the camera. Mark’s positivity and enthusiasm were infectious as we collaborated on portraits, resulting in some stunning images. It was a fun and successful shoot, and I highly recommend working with him.

Had a brilliant shoot with Mark this week in York!

I don't think you get a more straight talking, down to earth guy. I was comfortable from the moment we met. He has a great sense of humour, speaks from the heart and to the point! That meant conversation wasn't dry and there was a good vibe going to bounce off of.

Pre comms were superb. On shoot day, we spoke about what we wanted to do order wise, outfits wise and make up and just got to it. Time really flew! We got through a fair few sets in a short time. I was really impressed with Mark letting me have an input and trying some weird and new ideas! He knows what he's doing with the camera and I LOVE the images created.

It was short and sweet this time, but has left me with so many more ideas, so I would most certainly be up again!

Would highly recommend!

God it has been waaaaaay too long since our last shoot! I’ve worked with Mark an insane amount of times so I always know what to expect, lots of talking and coffee drinking and awesome images, and this shoot was no exception 😊

Only difference was this time was that we shot in my home with a one light set up or natural light, it was so good to finally see how Mark works outside of a studio environment and he just isn’t phased so I’ll have to get him on location at some point, he works just as quickly with amazing results, I’m just blown away by the results!

Such a relaxed and fun shoot with a good amount of talking ad set changes, so of course I still highly recommend Mark to anyone whether they are building their portfolios, or want a fun day.

Thanks for a groovy day, and hopefully see you again before too long,

Shooting with Mark was an epic and fun time, whilst I was up at York Photo Studio recently!

He is very respectful and such a professional, using the scenes and lighting wonderfully - the images looked absolutely amazing!

Thank you for such a fantastic morning, you rock - can't recommend the magical Mark enough to all :)

Shot with Mark yesterday at his studio in Leeds, pre-communication was excellent including details of where I was going to meet him and what was to be expected for the shoot.

I absolutely loved Marks workflow of 40 shots per set, meaning we could rattle through a huge variety of sets very quickly.

During the shoot we had classic rock music playing, much to my enjoyment!

The images on the back of the camera look fab and I look forward to seeing the results :)

Thank you

I had my first shoot with Mark on Tuesday at his studio in Leeds and boy was I impressed!

Pre coms were absolutely top notch, shoot style, wardrobe, mood boards levels and rates negotiated and settled with minimal fuss... perfect!

In just over 3 hours we nailed over 12 looks and wardrobe/styling changes with ease.

Marks studio is perfect for wardrobe changes and easy access to the shooting area.

Mark has a great sense of humour which in turn led the shoot into a very enjoyable, fun afternoon.

Mark has a distinctive creative style and a keen eye to capture the look he's after.

Would I recommend Mark?........ YES IN A HEARTBEAT! Superb photographer and superb hospitality A**

A total joy to pose for....More photographers like this please!

Had a great shoot with Mark, this was the first time we had worked together although discussed over the years.

Happy I got to work with Mark as hes a great guy to work with, communication prior to the shoot was perfect and some great images achieved so I do recommend models to work with Mark.

Thanks again for a lovely shoot :)

Absolute pleasure to work with Mark on a low key fashion set, great comms from the offset and throughout, helped direct me to the studio and greeted us outside! Brilliant studio space with changing room and a huge selection of coffee and tea ;) bonus! He knows exactly what he wants from a shoot and expects to make the most of the shoot which is brilliant, we smashed through 6 sets of fashion outfits and the images came back rapidly and look amazing, really happy with them, he's a gent, a professional and full of charisma and humor! Highly advise you work with him and get some of his amazing images under your belt! I learned a lot from his wealth of knowledge and as always moving forward! Brill shoot thanks again!

I had a shoot with mark earlier today and I am very glad they he decided to answer my casting call. He was quick to give me all the relevant details and info for the shoot and from the minute I arrived at the studio he was welcoming and friendly to both me and my partner. The shoot went by smoothly and efficiently and the images are fantastic. Mark is a professional in his photography and really knows his lighting and set ups to get that stunning and striking editorial look. I look forward to another shoot in August and I couldn't recommend mark highly enough.

Had my first and not last shoot with Mark :)

Mark is a model's dream to work with - excellent communication, provides a detailed mood board so you have an idea of the type of shot he is looking for, has a fabulous MUA/hair artist, he's easy to get along with & provides lunch, biscuits and tea...

We got through many different styles & looks and the results looked fab on the big screen...

Thoroughly recommended by me & I look forward to future shoots :)

p.s he is a total task master - be prepared ;)

Had a fantastic last minute shoot with Mark yesterday evening. We tried out some new makeup looks and played around with various different angles and lights! Mark has an awesome studio just outside of Leeds and I love going there , he's a great photographer, great company to be around and is always well stocked with tea! Thanks Mark looking forward to seeing the photos!

I shot with Mark today, this was my 3rd test shoot so I am really new to modelling.

Mark was great with communication, very imformative and professional. On my arrival Mark greeted me with a cuppa (always goes down well!) and helped me pick out outfits/styles.

For my first couple of styles my poses were not flowing as well as they were towards the end, as like I say, I am new! However Mark was really patient and really helped give me some ideas and direction!

Really pleased with the photos I have seen and cannot wait to see the final images I have selected. Would highly reccomend and would love to work with Mark again.

I have shot with Mark several times now and always look forward to it. As usual Marks pre comms and organisation were faultless and he even kindly collected me and dropped me back off at the station afterwards (despite the Leeds traffic!) Marks shoots are relaxed with plenty of laughs but very productive. We shot a variety of styles and from what I've seen already, there are some cracking images. It is nice to see how far Mark has come in his photography. He is very creative and talented with superb results. I cannot recommend this guy highly enough and thank you Mark for a fab and enjoyable shoot :).

Had my best shoot yet with Mark yesterday. I'm blown away by the photos and genuinely struggled to choose from them.

Marks studio is spacious, well equipped and easy to find. He is friendly, funny, welcoming and makes an awesome brew.

Despite getting oil all over his backdrop (sorry again!) He remained happy, chatty and professional throughout. I can't recommend him enough. Looking forward to working together again.

I have shot with Mark twice now and both times have been awesome. Mark has the patience of a saint... on BOTH occasions my car basically blew up in the previous week and he was so accommodating with the shoot time shifting so I could get the train instead! Give the man a medal ;)

To work with Mark is fab, he puts up with my music and me being practically in tears about my car and he is really laid back and very easy to work with. Sets are changed frequently so the shoots are super productive too.

Now I've moved down south we might not get to work with each other for a bit, but I hope to travel back up North again for another shoot.

Highly recommended!

When Mark put a casting call on here I finally jumped at the chance, we've had on off comms for sometime over the past year we decided on a date.

When I met Mark I gave him big hug from the start, having never met until that day he's just what I expected, warm funny down to earth and super friendly.

Straight away he made a brew and knew exactly how I liked it. (Thank you for reading my port)

My suitcase was full of varied outfits he helped pick out what he knew would look good to shoot in.

We started on several outfits and it just flowed from there onwards.

Shot in low key lighting 10-11 sets later we weren't disappointed I'm amazed at how much we achieved lots of high fashion editorial style, I cannot wait to see the post production,

Mark is really talented and knows exactly what he wants, I would jump at the next opportunity to work with him again.

Highly recommended.

Ps sorry my reference took a little longer getting over to you.

Lots of hugs and high 5's Mia xx

I had my second shoot with Mark and it was just as enjoyable as the first time. Time flies by so quickly as Mark works in an organized fashion spending no longer than 50 images each set, which i think is great because ideas and posing stays interesting and enjoyable throughout. Mark was very kind in picking up from the train station and dropping me back off with fabulous M&S food to munch on on the way home. We viewed the images at the end of the shoot and just like the first time, they were classy and on point (also in regards to his lighting set up as well). I'm super happy with our shoot experience and the images we came away with. Mark is full of professionalism along with his own studio that he works from. I would have no doubt in recommending Mark to any model. Always a pleasure. Thanks for a great day and shoot :) x

Yesterday I had my second shoot with Mark..... Wow! Such an amazing job we did! I'm struggling to choose the photos as they're all good!

Mark is the best to play with the lights, he can create a really soft look that I've never seen before. The texture of the skin is amazing, the pics look edited but they're not!

It's always a pleasure to work with him, we never planned a lot but we've always found ideas during the shoots, which is great.

I hope to work with him many many times.
