Met Mark for the first time at a group shoot. Really enjoyed our all too brief session together. Mark has a keen eye for detail and opportunities to make the best of. Calm, relaxed, polite but also happy for the model to act in their own style to bring a real collaboration to the shoot. Hope we get to work together again in the future

I was lucky enough to shoot with Mark on a group shoot day at Strelley Hall and he was such a great guy to work with!

He allowed me to pose as I see fit, allowing the photographs to flow really easily and great some beautiful images which I cannot wait to see once all processed through!

I would highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for a friendly and talented photographer!

I really enjoyed working with Mark during a large group shoot at Strelley Hall. We got to create some lovely period images wearing one of my handmade dresses, I love the way he captured the light and shadows to give the pictures an authentic quality. Thanks Mark 🖤

I got to work with Mark during a group shoot at Strelley Hall, and he was really easy and great to work with!

The photos look amazing, and the turn around of the edited set was super fast - a lot faster than I expected and they're really brilliant.

I'd recommend Mark, and would certainly work with him again.

It was a pleasure to meet and work with Mark today on a group shoot in the beautiful Strelley hall of Nottingham. He definitely knows what he's doing and on our very limited time and a bit manic surrounding of loads of other models and photographers running around the place we managed to quickly produce some outstanding images which I can't wait to see on a computer. Definitely recommend. :)

I feel very priviledged to have met and worked with Mark on a group shoot yesterday . I found him very approachable and fun to work with as well as adaptable to the quick ideas that were being thrown at him to shoot. Mark clearly has a keen eye for photography and the talent to back it up. Thank you for shooting with me x

I'm not even sure how many shoots me and Mark are on now, but I am sure they're always productive, fun and produce awesome imagery!

After saying goodbye to me only a couple of weeks before, Mark booked a few hours on my studio day at Antwerp Mansion before I moved to Scotland, where we did a mixture of Art Nude and got hic attire.

As ever, Mark came armed with props and lighting to better our images, he was enthusiastic, and always respectful.

Hopefully that won't be the end of our tales!

I had another fantastic shoot with Mark in Yorkshire this time, as I was looking for a suitable location to shoot I came across a Renaissance reenactment day that I knew would be right up Mark's street.

And of course...he had a dress to make the whole theme tie together!

We managed to get lots of great shots around the castle, and even get others involved too.

We finished with a forest warrior shoot with a long bow and arrows that Mark also supplied.

Always a joy to work with, highly recommended!

Another incredible shoot with this wonderful man! I always look forward to shooting with Mark as he's always bursting with ideas and enthusiasm! Mark's eagerness to try new things and spend time getting things just right is commendable!

This time I worked with Mark at Joel Hicks Photographic solo and duo with Joel, we were barbarians and really got into character!

I wouldn't hesitate to work with Mark again and again and 100% recommend him to other models! Make sure you work with this talented man when you can!

Had another incredible shoot with the lovely Mark last week, this time a duo with Lili Thorpe!

Mark did well to organise the whole day and knew what he wanted from the duo. He directed us well to get the right shapes and angles for the shots.

As always, a real pleasure to work with and I cannot recommend him enough, a wonderful guy and a great photographer!

Thanks again Mark!

Worked with Mark again, he's really fun to work with, he has a lot of great ideas and is down to earth plus he even put up with my whining when the weather turned from hot and sunny to cold and rainy. Would definitely recommend and will work with him again in the future.

Just worked with Mark on one of his projects. He was really fun to work with and helped me experience something different that helped me develop in both my modeling and life. I would highly recommend him and will definitely work with him again.

I had my second shoot with Mark on Sunday!

Mark is a firm favourite to work with and it's always a pleasure as we get along very well and can always have a laugh whilst creating images that we both enjoy!

He's a very talented photographer with a keen artistic eye, originally being a painter, his attention to detail is incredible.

Loving the images I've already seen and cannot wait to see some more!

I highly recommend this wonderful artist to all models thinking of working with him, you won't be disappointed!

Looking forward to future shoots with you Mark! Thanks again for a wonderful day!
