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.

I am so glad that Mark contacted me about a shoot and we arranged for the last day of my big tour on the way back from Scotland. He was very professional, efficient and generous with the pre comms. He gave me all the info I needed and also advice on hotels and offered to buy lunch and refreshments for the day. On the half day we managed to get 12 changes done! He was cool and relaxed yet organised and it made for a really fun and productive shoot. Mark is clearly an awesome photographer and is great with his lighting set ups. I loved his studio, the pictures looked awesome and overall he is just a great guy! Would love to work with him again. Highly recommended.

I had my second shoot with Mark in his lovely studio and hopefully we will be able to shoot again very soon ! Mark as before picked me up from my place and we drove to his studio that's only 15 mins drive from where I live ( so convenient ! :) ).

Mark is an absolute pleasure to work with! He exactly knows what he wants to achieve however he would let me pose freely, without directions and just letting me being myself :). Mark helped me to pick outfits and I need to say he has a great taste ! :) I can tell he works with many models as he has got a great knowledge about all sorts of clothing ha :)

We managed to go through about 7-8 outfits in 3 hours getting plenty of good images and more importantly, without any rushing ! That's an amazing combination and it's really difficult to achieve sometimes.

Mark made sure we had breaks and time for a cup of tea in between which was really nice and made me feel like I'm home ha ! Mark is a lovely person, really friendly, chatty and always there to help you. He is always well prepared for a shoot and has got a head full of brilliant ideas :)

I would love to recommend Mark to every model and looking forward to working with him again !

Well bugger me! First of all, we got through 12, yes 12 bloody sets in just under four hours!

Usual boring stuff Mark is so easy to arrange a shoot with in less than 4 messages, and he is always on time to pick me up if not early. However this time we both had a rather last minute cancellation so Mark came to my rescue and we quickly pulled our shoot forward. Same chatting away on our car journey to the studio and coffees on tap to keep me going :)

Mark had gotten some new toys in so we started our day off with some new lighting set ups, that Mark aced in less than 10 minutes, just amazing! We went through our usual madness of fashion, fashion nudes, lingerie, and beauty work, but we also had a play with a wig and some of my harnesses! And we even had time to review the shots at the end of the day, even with Mark sending me home early and he very kindly gave me Old back ground roll for me to play with :D THANK YOU

So many awesome shots and do many keepers, 12 sets in pretty much three hours has got to be a record, I'm gonna have to work my arse off to beat this shoot. Mark is just so freaking easy to work with, he puts the best music on that seriously gets my creativeness flowing, he works quickly and he knows when we've got the best from one set so we just move on to the next one, and he seriously knows his lighting, I always learn something new.

Always highly recommended, be seeing you again soon I'm sure!

I had my fourth photoshoot with Mark last week after a year!!

It was great to see him again, we arranged the shoot and he picked me up (always in time) to get in his studio.

I forgot how easy makes everything this guy! A part from being a lovely and genuine person he just makes every thing really simple to get the best images. An expert and professional who always will give you the best advice and guidance, he just does his best to make you feel comfortable in the best atmosphere and that's how he captures the best images.

Mark told me about my progression in the industry as we haven't worked together since last years and this words from his mouth literally made my day. Couldn't be so glad to hear this from a professional and a top photographer like him.

I am just so happy for been there again and I hope to get there again very soon.

Couldn't recommend Mark high enough!!!

Much love,

Marina

FINALLY!!!! We got the opportunity to work together! I can honestly say shooting with you is 1 of those experiences where the back ache at the end of it is worth while!

Conversation actually flowed so effortlessly, I had endless cups of tea and after seeing what we were achieving on the back of the camera I wanted to push myself further.

I would work with you over and over again!! Highly Recommended To All xX

From the beginning of our communications, it was obvious Mark was extremely professional and knowledgeable about his craft, and this is very evident while shooting!

I felt immediately comfortable and Mark's studio is great; usually i am a bit apprehensive about working with new people who weren't familiar with my style, but I was immediately put at ease and was extremely happy to find how skilled Mark is as a photographer and the fact we were on the same wavelength about a lot of things!

His studio is clean, professional and comfortable, with a dressing room and constant cups of tea!

On the whole I was over the moon with our results and the whole shoot experience, I would 100% recommend shooting with Mark, as his knowledge and his professionalism is second to none! I think a lot of creatives could learn a thing or two from him.

I had a bit of a short notice shoot today with Mark after a late cancellation. We have worked together a couple of times previously and due to lack of time, we didn't have much in the way of set plans but mark was crazy enough to let me loose on the styling front for this one!

We had loads of fun with my weird and wonderful "fashion" sense, and despite it really not being Mark's day (the AA breakdown joined us for a short while), I think we managed to really make the most of the time we had and produce some awesome images!

As always, Mark was friendly, polite and respectful (and he stocks my favourite kind of tea, which always makes me happy!) It was fun to let loose and try some silly ideas as well as some (slightly) more serious ones.

Highly recommend Mark (as in my previous references) and hope despite my craziness he might let me back in the studio again sometime :P :)

Did my 3rd shoot with Mark skeet on Friday! It was a pleasure as always. I wasn't feeling to well but the shoot still managed to be awesome, with mark letting me have extra herbal tea breaks :} We flew through lots of sets and they looked amazing on the back of camera and the computer when we had a cheeky nosey afterwards. Mark is friendly and great to work with.

Highly recommended!

Had my first shoot with Mark today and was a great experience. I loved the way we organized the shoot, we work pretty fast and we could create different set of images with 8-9 different outfits. The communication was perfect, Mark is really easy going he gave me a little direction but I think I could understand what he was looking for, so also if I used to pose with a "boudoir style", today I've experienced some fashion poses and I really love this kind of style.

I like a lot the kind of light he uses, it focuses on the skin texture creating a soft natural look. The pictures are all great will be really difficult to choose! I'm really happy about what we've created today and I hope to work with him again sometime soon. Highly recommended.
