Had an awesome shoot with Mark last week! I would definitely recommend to all models!

We had ran through a few ideas before we shot and both knew the style we were going for. Mark was quick setting up each backdrop and lights and I found he worked really fast and knew straight away when he got "the shot" The studio/changing room is great and I felt fully comfortable at all times, Mark even put Slipknot on for me while we were shooting :)

Really happy with the images! Thanks again Mark!

I had a fab shoot with Mark yesterday! It was our first time working together and I hope it won't be the last! His pre comms where spot on and I felt completely comfortable from the start.

We got though a number of different sets and the images looked stunning! He was professional and friendly throughout and I hope to get the chance to work with him again soon! :)

100% recommended by me! :)

Had a great shoot with Mark last week at his studio in leeds. Shooting fashion nude, fitness, stock and beauty head shots.

I always enjoy working with mark, He's really easy to work with and we had a really productive shoot working through lots of different sets.

Looking forward to next time

Highly recommended!

Another totally awesome shoot with the lovely Mark; up to now we have always played it safe and stuck to the studio as Mark has mega strengths with his controlled lighting and can achieve a cracking set of images at the blink of an eye - this time we pushed the boat out and shot in a slightly less controlled setting at my place... I had masses of confidence he would nail it and after a minor fiddle with the lights he was back in his comfort zone again and we were throwing out lovely shots! It was quite a lot different from how he had shot before but once we decided on the looks/direction we would go for the next set we had our usual flow going and smashed the killer results in the bag at a nice pace as per usual. :) That's the nice thing about working with Mark: he's a fantastic people person no matter what and will always bring the best out of a model whether they maybe professional status or totally new but the more you work together the more efficient you become even so.

It's always a real laugh as well - Mark actually puts some ladies to shame with his ability to multitask! :D He can be adjusting the light settings/taking a shot and all in the middle of a full blown conversation at the same time. It's great fun and he will always strive for an enjoyable working rapport on his shoots... He would honestly make anyone at any level of experience feel totally at ease and though we didn't have makeup artist present for a most recent shoot: he's a star when it comes to organising groups as well.

Thank you for yet another fantabulous shoot Mark! I could go on and on but I'll end up spamming his page with another ridiculous essay so I'll just say that he is a top gent and very, very highly recommended in my book! :) Always look forward to the opportunity of working together again!

Well what a lovely chap Mark is!! He was very kind and looked after me very well! Even got my favourite biscuits!!

I've been waiting quite a while to shoot with Mark but it was well worth the wait! The 4 hours seemed to fly by!! What I love most about Mark is his quick shooting! He doesn't overshoot the sets! Which is great as creativity never seems to drop as you're always changing sets with him!

I also loved that when a lighting setup didn't give the results he wanted, rather than spend ages trying to make it work he accepted it wasn't right and quickly changed it!

Mark is clearly a very skilled photographer with a talented eye! He was lovely company! Was always respectful! It was so much fun doing some fashion with him! And I LOVED the shots he took! I'm so excited to see the finished results!!

Oh and Marks studio is fab! Warm! Spacious, with a fab dressing room! Always night to be working in s great space!

Really enjoyed the shoot and I hope it will be the first of many!! I would highly reccomend Mark to any model!

Thanks again Mark!

Mark is a fantastic photographer & brilliant to work with. He had a lot of great ideas for the shoot & was very helpful & patient. He also let me pick his brain for tips as I build up my experience & gave some great advice. I couldn't recommend Mark enough.

BonnieBellotti

Had another fantastic shoot with Mark yesterday and again thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Marks communication and organisation for shoots are spotless and he never fails to impress with his ideas. I really look forward to Marks shoots as they are fun, relaxed and creative. I love the fact that Mark likes to explore different concepts and he is very conscientious in his work. Professional, easy going with a fully stocked studio which serves the best coffee in Yorkshire :) Highly recommended and looking forward to working with Mark again later on in the year. Don't miss the opportunity to work with him and thank you once again for an amazing shoot.

I had my first shoot with Mark recently, and what a delight it was! His friendly attitude, laid back personality and chatty persona was wonderful! We managed to work through a variety of looks, including fashion, fitness, headshots and fashion-nude.

His work is most admirable, with a keen eye for detail and spot on lighting settings. Pre-communication was efficient and clear, giving me an idea of how he works as well as what to expect.

We shot at a relaxed yet productive pace, allowing times to breath, drink coffee and eat in the break. He really is a most fabulous photographer, and deserves to go far!

Thank you and I look forward to working together again,

Had an absolutely awesome and fun shoot with Mark recently during a tour to Yorkshire. His pre communication was excellent, and I just knew he would be really great to shoot with! He has lots of clear ideas, a very stylish and spacious studio, played cool music throughout and was just very professional and a good laugh. He changed up the lighting set ups and we were able to shoot some excellent sets, 11 looks in total! Mark made sure I was fed with healthy food from M&S and was highly considerate with plenty of tea breaks, and allowed me to see the images that were were taking. Highly recommended and look forward to working with him again. Thanks Mark :)

Well, where to start? Mark is a funny, friendly, cool guy. He looks after his models well and creates a nice chilled out atmosphere. His studio is warm, comfortable, well equipped with a nice big changing room and natural light. Add onto this that he is rather good with that camera of his and that we took some belting shots today. So easy to work with and at the quick pace that means I can bring my A-game.

Will most definitely be shooting with him again in future.

I had the lovely pleasure of shooting with Mark today in his studio in Leeds. Pre comms were excellent he even got in touch this morning to make sure everything was still okay for our shoot, he arrived on time and we drove to the studio.

Mark was well prepared with coffee on the go for me, studio already set, mood boards, awesome changing room well equipped with hair tongs, mirrors, hair bands, hair grips, and chairs. The studio itself is very large with motorised backdrops so it here was next to no waiting time for set changes, as well as a cool brick wall for us to work on, the studio had quite a few props from crates to chairs.

We got through tons in our four hours together from portraits, fashion, high fashion, implied, concealed, fashion nude, and art nude work.

Mark was just brilliant company with his amazing taste in music so the time just evaporated! I can easily and highly recommend any model, Mark is so down to earth, friendly, fun, and professional. And I hope to work with him again in the future!

Thanks for a great day,

Absolutely loved my shoot with Mark. He did me some brilliant actors headshots both in studio and with natural light giving the different looks I needed. We also did an experimental Pin Up shoot as this was something I wanted to do and he gave me great detailed feedback on what works and what doesn't work on these particular types of shoot. Being fairly new to modelling and still finding my style, I found working with Mark really useful and look forward to working with him again.

Had another shoot with Mark on the Sunday, think this was our 4th one now. Mark's a great photographer and always makes you feel right at home. His studio is a great place to work in and there's even a separate changing room with everything you could possible need in there.

We shot some fashion looks first and then I did my first ever Nude shoot with him. It's something I've been wanting to do for a while and mark made me very comfortable and confident and im super happy with the outcome :)

Mark's is a very accommodating and kind person and this is why I have worked with him so many times. We always get amazing shots and he always shows you what we've got at the end of the shoot. Would highly recommend Mark to any model :)

I had a shoot with the lovely mark a week ago. What a great shoot it was. Considerate to the model and determined to get his craft right. We had a bit of an experimentation night and when flicking through the results at the end we were both convinced there were keepers!!

I had a great laugh, lots of creativity and doing something different!! This is an easy recommendation from me and I certainly look forward to working with mark in the future.

Models get him booked!!!

I have shot TWICE now with Mark this year and both have been amazing.

Obviously the first time around I didn't know what to expect but Mark had given me a brief on his ideas and what he would like to achieve which always really helps.

On arrival I found him to be really relaxed and friendly, we had a good chat first over a cuppa and I felt then at ease and I knew we were going to have a fantastic shoot. And THAT we did. :D we worked at a relaxed pace but seemed to get through such a variety of looks/sets, I couldn't believe it. We even managed to do a little 'art nude' at the end which Mark had not done before and he seemed to know exactly how to shoot it straight away! I was so surprised.

He is really creative with lighting and likes to mix it up to get different looks which I think is essential and totally makes the images come alive.

Our second shoot was no different, other than this time we shot some commercial/stock images as Mark supplies to libraries online for commercial purposes. But we worked quickly through them but again we were cracking out some awesome images. We followed on with some edgy fashion, fitness shots and again a little art nude. The images are exceptional and I have added several to my port from both shoots.

Highly recommend him to work with and would shoot with again anytime :D

Thanks Mark, Tillie x

Had a wonderful shoot with Mark last night. What an utterly professional and friendly guy he is!

Pre-comms were fab. I had a clear understanding of what we would be shooting and what I need to pack. From the moment I arrived I found him very easy to talk to and comfortable to be around.

His studio is a great space to work in. He had a separate changing room, and a great supply of hot and cold drinks to keep us refreshed. It was clear throughout that he was conscientious of the model's needs.

With some great music playing in the background, we shot so many different sets in four hours, but I never felt pressured by time or rushed through. He had a great handle of his lighting and gave helpful direction if needed. He let me pose freely and we laughed our way through the shoot. The time just flew by.

I'd highly recommend working with Mark if you get the chance.

Thanks Mark, for a brilliant shoot :)

Worked with Mark recently, and had a great, really productive shoot. We shot a few sets using different lighting set ups, and made use of the natural light too.

I was well looked after throughout the shoot - warm comfortable studio with good facilities, and plenty of tea on offer too! :)

Mark is easy to work with, professional, friendly and easy going and definitely recommended.

Thanks!

Had my first shoot with Mark yesterday, and what a pleasure it was, as soon as we got to the studio mark already had everything planned in his head that he wanted to achieve from the shoot. (This was helped by his array of reference shots sent prior to the shoot, which made selecting clothes to bring so much easier). Mark passed on his ideas for the style of makeup that he wanted for each look, which made the day flow so smoothly.

Really impressed with the photos when we looked through them at the end of the shoot, we got a great variety in styles/looks.

Definitely look forward to working with Mark again, couldn't recommend him highly enough!!!

Working with Mark was a great opportunity i'm glad i got to experience. I love his shooting method, and would go as far as to say it's the best one i've encountered yet.

He's fun, friendly, and easy to get on with and work with.

He's creative, and a genius with his lighting.

I'd highly recommend him and would loveeee to work with him in the future!
