Mark is wonderfully easy to communicate with, clear with what he wants out of the shoot and chatty once on set. We shot at least five sets within an hour - quite a bit less than the four we had planned. I'm super excited to see the results. Highly recommended and would work with again.

This year in February would be nearly 1 year of my team work with Mark in his studio.

Year ago he started from empty, cold space - he turned his studio into amazing place! equipped with wide range of studio lights, powerful heaters, elegant designer chairs for posing, space for make-up artist and model and this includes Table+Professional directors chair+heat tools for hairstyling available for MUAs and Models, steamer, cloth rack hangers etc...

I am really enjoying to work with Mark every each time!

His really friendly and bubbly person!

Always provides concrets, important details, small chat on start, gives guides regarding look, changes, makeup and hairstyling.

His always happy to help, often gives a lift to our models if need, if shoots takes longer than 4 hours, takes care for our lunch!

One of my favourite photographer in last year! He experimenting with lights, styles, different looks so much, but this gives interesting variety of all looks created by him! Amazing add to every portfolio!

Highly recommended! - and I am absolutely looking forward of our team work in 2017!

I think this was my third shoot with Mark, again at his fantastic studio. Each shoot just seems to get better and better, I think the more you get to know someone and what they like then it's becomes like second nature plus the fact the conversation flows and so does the creativity.

Mark always has great ideas and his experience with lighting seems to progress each time we shoot, he has a new lighting set-up that I like even more than the last.

The shots looked amazing from our last shoot and I was so pleased with how it went

Certainly can highly recommend and will hope to work with you again Mark

Thanks, Tillie

Just had my second shoot with Mark, and was so pleased I did!

We booked it very last minute having both put out castings, and after a small discussion we decided on some character work and art nude figure work.

Mark is always so much fun to work with. Professional and efficient in his work, whilst also being easy to chat to and have a laugh with. After a quick look at what I had brought clothing wise, we soon had a plan and were well on our way. It felt like a real team effort, and it was nice to share the creative input together. The time flew as always, and I was pleased by what I saw on the back of the camera. Really excited to see the final outcome!

Mark's studio is great - spacious, well-equipt, with great tea/coffee facilities, and a warm changing room for models as well.

I hope we cross paths in 2017 as he is such a fab guy to work with. Highly recommended.

Thanks Mark - can't wait for the next one.

I had my first shoot with Mark and I enjoyed it a lot.

Pre -shoot communication was great, we discussed everything before the shoot. Had DorotaMUA doing the hair and makeup to a high standard as usual.

Productive, fast paced, no messing around. Mark is a focused professional and it is very comfortable to work with him.

I have received the pictures really fast too.

He offers coffee and actually has straws to use so the lipstick is not smudged. The only person I worked with who thought that far. :D

I would recommend working with Mark to anyone.

I had a pleasure working with Mark in his studio yesterday and I'm very happy about our collaboration! We had a spontaneous photoshoot in a very relaxed atmosphere, with my range of outfits. Mark is friendly and very proffesional with lots of ideas and a great music taste! I couldn't recommend him any higher to work with! :) I also want to mention a nice studio venue, where there's a dressing room and always plenty of tea and coffee :) Thank you for your time!

I had a brilliant first shoot with Mark a couple of weeks ago!

Pre comms were excellent Which helped a lot in deciding what items to take along and the whole feel of the shoot beforehand.

Mark is a really great guy to work with, knows what he wants to achieve so we could get through a massive amount in a really quick time....he also has great taste in music which always helps!

The studio was toasty warm even though it was freezing and blowing a gale outside, the dressing room also was warm and very well set up with hangers, curlers etc and great lighting too!

I would recommend anyone to shoot with Mark....great fun working with him and great images to top it all off too :)

I had an amazing shoot with Mark in Leeds yesterday!

The communication before the shoot was simply ideal and all details were discussed. He was kind enough to pick me up from the train station, drive me to the studio and maintained conversation so we got on very well and kept conversation going throughout the shoot. He was really friendly, considerate, welcoming and made me feel very comfortable.

The studio he has is a lovely, clean and modern space, with everything you could need.

Mark has lots of ideas, he's enthusiastic about creating quality images and was chatty and pleasant company.

I totally recommend him to everyone and I hope we will have an opportunity to do a shoot in the future again!

I recently met and worked with Mark for the first time. It was my first visit to Leeds and I will admit I was a little rusty after not modelling regularly for an extended period of time. Mark was fantastic. He was friendly and easy going and I felt comfortable for the duration of the shoot. He worked with me well, with honest feedback, constructive criticism and there was plenty of banter. Such a joy to work with! Not a dull moment. We reviewed the images briefly before I left and I was really pleased with what we'd done. I love his photography style and lighting techniques- just what I'm looking for at the moment!

The dressing room was great, with a heater which I was very grateful for, mirrors and an awesome ring light!

I'm not even waiting to receive the finished images to write this glowing recommendation because after seeing the proof images I'm already more than happy! Such a wonderful shoot. Thank you!

I had my first shoot with Mark this evening - its been planned for a while now but was certainly worth the wait! Mark's pre-coms were fantastic he sent me a mood board of ideas and was very clear on everything I needed to know before the shoot, really easy to talk to.

We also had the wonderful Dorota MUA working with us who really brought Mark's ideas to life (and gave me the craziest hair I've ever seen!). During the shoot we worked through a variety of styles including fashion, portraits, lingerie and some fashion nudes.

I had such a great time, plenty of laughs and banter throughout! Mark used some really interesting lighting styles and I was blown away by the images he showed me at the end of the shoot! If you get the opportunity to work with Mark I highly recommend it, seriously cannot recommend him highly enough!

Thanks again for a wonderful shoot!

Shoot number three with the very talented Mark Skeet last Tuesday evening.

As always, fun, laughter and constant chatter (mostly from me!) abounds.

Mark is straight forward, honest, got the sharpest sense of humour and being in his company is a joy. I consider him a mate now.

Mark's eye for lighting as always was on point and our shoots are without a doubt some of my most enjoyable, given that we get along so well and the results are always fantastic.

Our fourth shoot is planned and hopefully there will be number five in the offing.

I'd absolutely recommend Mark to any model, be they newbie or experienced.

I had the lovely opportunity of working with Mark on our first shoot yesterday. After discussing what I wanted from the shoot, Mark created a board on Pinterest so we could put some ideas together.

Luckily the studio is only an hour away from my home but I was warmly welcomed. Mark came down to help me with my things and offered me a cuppa in the (warm) studio!

The lighting options and different styles on offer in the studio are vast which allows more creativity, alongside having a dedicated changing room for privacy.

I was delighted with out shots, props and the direction Mark gave me. We really made the most of the 2 hour slot. I thoroughly enjoyed the shoot and felt really comfortable around Mark, we sat down and looked through the shots and he explained what the next process was going to be.

I would highly recommend Mark to anyone looking to expand their portfolio, gain more confidence and also have a bit of a laugh!

I look forward to shooting again with Mark in the future.

I worked with the lovely Mark for the first time the other day on a recent tour of the area and had such a great time! It was our first time working together and I am always a little nervous but needn't have been!

Mark was instantly so kind, considerate and hospitable, making sure I was comfortable, watered and fed! Mark went to the super kind effort of stocking up the fridge with delicious healthy snacks, which for a mostly raw foodie like me I thought was so thoughtful and kind.

The studio was a really pleasant space to shoot in with oodles of space and a lovely spacious Makeup/Changing room. Mark was a great host and was professional and respectful to work with.

I had a terrible cold on the day and he was so kind and patient whilst I was trying my best to rock the shoot whilst coughing and snorting! :) His lighting and photography skills are superb and you know the results are going to be beautiful.

The half day flew by and I really enjoyed myself. I would love to shoot with Mark again- especialley when I am well and can fully appreciate it. An awesome guy, highly recommended to all, Helen x

I had a fantastic four hour shoot with Mark at the beginning of my latest Leeds tour! After a long drive and arriving at Mark's studio, he welcomed me with a fab cuppa and a warm studio!

Mark was super relaxed, had already sent me a moodboard for the shoot which was helpful when it came to packing for my trip! Mark was accomodating, friendly, professional and super easy to get on with and I hope that we get to shoot with each other on my next Leeds tour in the new year!

Thank you Mark :)

I had my first shoot with Mark yesterday. Mark was well prepared, organised and new exactly what he wanted. We shot at his studio which was full of professional lighting and a specially catered changing room for the model, which was very impressive. I was over the moon with our shots when reviewing them at the end of the shoot. I also rate Mark on his style and elegance of shots. I thoroughly enjoyed the shoot and Marks honesty and challenges. I would hopefully like to work with Mark again in the future and I would recommend him to any model looking to enhance their portfolio to a professional level.

Second, long overdue shoot with Mark at his studio on Thursday night and thoroughly enjoyable it was too.

Shooting with Mark is like shooting with an old friend (a talented one that is!)

Mark is a great laugh with his down to earth Northern sense of humour, he's sharp as a tack and has such an easy going, relaxed way of shooting that i can't help but feel comfortable the second i walk through the door.

We were working together on actor's head shots to help build up Mark's head shot service that he's launching in the not too distant future.

As always, i was really thrilled with results and feel sure that Mark will be a successful in this venture given that he can clearly turn his hand to any style.

The lighting was beautiful, great composition and he directs well but also allows me to take the lead and express myself which as an actress is greatly appreciated.

Quick shoot this time around but i'll most definitely be back soon to get creative and shoot a few different styles.

Yet another laaaarvely shoot with a laaarvely photographer. Very professional, and always a pleasure to work with. Every shoot with Mark is an absolute joy! Always on time to pick up from station, pre comms are perfect, and the shoot from beginning to end is highly productive, playing around with various lighting effects, looks etc. As I have mentioned before, Marks passions for photography run high, and his results are A class..: as you can see when eyeing up his portfolio. His changing room is every models dream... Full length mirror, hair and makeup mirror, Tongs, Sraighteners, even crimpers!!! Yes..: crimpers!!! I can't leave the things alone! Great for a root boost! Haha.

Mark shows 100% respect, and looks after his models making sure they have everything they need.

I have been sent the pre-edits which I'm more than impressed with! Looking forward to seeing finished result.

Thanks again for another highly enjoyable shoot.

Highly recommended by moi.

Cheers

This was my second time shooting with Mark, he's just a really nice guy and professional photographer. Since our first shoot, his studio has developed brilliantly. The changing room facilities available for models is great with lots of little extras that Mark has carefully considered providing, it all helps. Mark really knows how to make the most of a shoot with an unhurried approach allowing time to think things through and prepare for the next set which is great for a creative and productive shoot. He took time to light each set specific to what we were shooting and totally nailed it. Very proud of what I saw at the time. Definitely recommended and look forward to any opportunity to working with Mark again.
