I had a shoot today with Marc at Kew Gardens and after shooting with him previously at a workshop it was great to work together 1-1! His pre-comms were really great, I knew exactly what to bring on the day and what kind of style we were going for!

Marc is really friendly and easy to talk to, and had some really creative ideas on how to use the location! We managed to get a good range of shots, and it was great to work with someone who was really enthusiastic!

Marc was easy with me doing my own thing in terms of posing, but when he had a specific idea in mind he also gave great direction! 100% recommended, I can’t wait to see the shots and hope we get the chance to work together again soon!

I worked with Marc on a Christmas themed shoot at @londonforphotographers and It was such a pleasure to shoot with him! Marc is a genuinely lovely person, great to talk to and had loads of ideas for the many sets we got through!

He is super talented too - the images he has shared are awesome and I cant wait to share them next Christmas ;D

Thanks for a great shoot Marc - Highly Recommended!

I worked with Marc on a recent group shoot event at Natural Light Studio. It was a duo hoop event with Em Theresa.

Marc was super lovely! I know you don't get a lot of time with each photographer on these events but Marc was always smiley, enthusiastic and gave great positive feedback which was lovely.

I adore the images I have seen from this shoot (on IG) and really hope I can work with Marc again one day, perhaps on a 1-2-1 basis :)

Thank you, Marc! :)

I worked with Marc on a photography workshop and he was brilliant! Made me feel so comfortable and took some really beautiful photos! Especially on dance photos, he caught the jumps and poses straight away, despite it being the first time shooting with him. Really excellent photographer who I would recommend to anyone!

Marc is simply fantastic! I had the pleasure of working with him at one of the workshops in west London. He is fun, creative and a super professional behind his camera. As a chatty person myself it's really nice to meet someone who's seen things and visited places. Marc is was so refreshing working with you and creating some wonderful images together; hope to do it again sometime :)

Highly recommended

Much Love

My second shoot with Marc at Gabriels workshop in Stratford.

Since our first shoot together we had been on contact and we loved the images we created on our frist shoot, so we followed instagrams and ive been a big fan of his work ever since so was chuffed when he messaged saying hed got slot for my workshop again.

Its so refreshing to see a young, striving photographer who is so inquisitive and eager to learn more about his passion. He gives great feedback to the model when they do a pose hes particularly interested hell tell you and jumps up with enthusiasm to show you the image on the back of the camera.

He has to be one of my favourite photographers to work with at the moment purely because he is like a breathe of fresh air, youthful and eager to succeed.

Thanks so much Marx, so highly recommended!

I've worked with Mark a few times now and he just gets better and better every time! Loved the shots from the back of the camera! He's friendly and easy to talk to. It turns out he's quite good at posing himself as well :P haha! We all had an epic team shot at the end of the day. Great fun! Highly recommended!

I worked with Marc for one of Ilus Photography's workshops. Marc shoots really quickly, because he nails the shot almost immediately!! We ended up getting some amazing photos and Marc came up with some amazing and creative ideas of what we could shoot in the limited time we got for each set.

It was an absolute pleasure to work alongside Marc, he has a clear passion for photography and is someone I would love to work with again soon! 100% recommended!!

I worked with Mark at a fun Chicago themed workshop run by IlusPhotography last weekend. Mark is so lovely, friendly and polite and it was an absolute pleasure to have him be a part of the workshop. Mark is professional, highly creative and gave fantastic direction and ideas, but also allowed me to pose freely and give input too. The images Marc took during the shoot were simply stunning. Highly recommended by me and I would definitely work with him again!

I had the pleasure of shooting with Marc during a photography workshop. He was very professional and easy to work with. I was especially impressed by his engagement with me as the model, giving very clear ideas and showing me the images as we worked. This really helped establish a collaborative feeling and for me, was a lovely touch

I worked with the wonderful Mark last month at The Natural Light studio, his pre comms were excellent and on the dat he was a joy to shoot with.

Mark instantly made me feel very comfortable in his presence, a natural creative and I loved how positive he was and it made for a great vibe on the day.

Mark took some stunning images which I cant way to see!

Thankyou so much Mark and you come highly recommended from me :)

Marc is an absolute gem to work with! He is honestly the sweetest person ever and comes up with amazing concepts in a very short period of time which end up being perfect! He shoots quickly yet takes time to perfect the shot if that makes any sense haha! We landed some gorgeous pictures and his editing really pulled everything together! If you ever get the opportunity to work with him I am begging you to take it and I can guarantee you will be more than happy with the results! Cannot wait to work with him again and teach him how to drink coffee with 10+ sugars :P

Mark was one of the photographers for a group street fashion shoot at which I was the model. He was lovely and attentive, and full of great ideas! We have a wonderful few sets that produced some amazing images, including some with an adorable King Charles spaniel! He was even so kind as to share the edited pictures with me, which are stunning and will be uploaded onto my portfolio for sure!

I hope to shoot with him again soon.

Marc came in to shoot with Pippa Doll during her model weekend with us. He was very respectful and creative, and looked after the studio kit and the model! It is always a pleasure to welcome such an enthusiastic photographer, recommended by us and we hope he will be back soon :)

Really enjoyed shooting with Marc, he has a clear passion for photography and reminded me of the energy and professionalism of some top internationally acclaimed photographers that you see on programmes like “Britain’s next top model”. Fantastic direction, getting the most out of my dance poses. The images that have come back so far are really impressive. Would definitely like to work with him again.

I cannot find a way to fault Marc at all. He exceeds in professionalism - providing moodboards, clothing descriptions, a detailed schedule on the day, as well as going along with some of my ideas as well and provided me with snacks :)

I am still shocked with how new Marc is to photography and how much he knows already, he is a pure natural talent and the images are absolutely stunning!

Marc and I worked together for a hour yesterday at Gabriels studio, and it was a really enjoyable experience!

If he hadn't of mentioned that he was new to photography, I wouldn't have had a clue! He is aware of what he needs to improve, which is a huge, huge asset to becoming a great photographer.

At his young age, I can't imagine the talent he will hold in a couple years time, photographers watch out!!! There's a new guy on the scene and boy, does he have potential.

He was really easy to talk to, made me feel comfortable and made me giggle a few times, which is a huge bonus! His communication towards a model is respectful and pleasant.

He oozes with enthusiasm towards photography, showing me images on the back of the camera so we can collaborate and create the perfect image, he had ideas of using props and movement.

It's clear he takes pride in his work in these early stages, and I can't wait to see where he takes his photography!!

Thanks Marc, it was an absolutely pleasure!
