Thanks again mark

So yesterday’s shoot was sooo fun…as I knew it would be! And what a day for it! The sunshine was beautiful. So I came into Poole station where Mark kindly picked me up. He drove us to his lovely and welcoming home where I met his lovey wife too! Felt very welcome from the start! Was offered refreshments on draft! Was amazing hospitality. After our coffee and natter we decided to start painting me as Mark had a cool idea of turning me into a dragon. So we tried something very different for me and my port yesterday and I had some body paint done. Which was so sick and fun, Make-up Sorcerer is definitely very talented which his air brush! We got as far as an awesome pink and metallic blue. Then to add effect to the dragon some purple & black. He then did some awesome detail to the dragon. Then when that dried white spots and detail were added. After all of marks amazing work bless his heart! We lost complete track of time and I had a train to catch….But time flies when you’re having fun…Plus we thought it was 3oclock & it was actually 4. Haha! I was kindly given a shower before my train and mark took me back just in time! Absolute life saviour! Apologies again that we couldn’t finish! However we are a great team and work so well together! Was a total pleasure as always! I always look forward to my shoots with Make-up Sorcerer he’s a true gentleman and very talented in his work! Of course highly recommended by me! We have discussed more future shoots of course and I have a studio day coming up at his too in June with Crystal. Thankyou again for your hospitality and kindness Mark! You’re the best! See you soon x

Attended Mark's Christmas themed shoot. Mark's events are well organized and particularly fun to be part of. When shooting there is true laughter coming from the models involved. Mark is such a relaxed and light hearted guy that goes the extra mile to support photographers and models. A truly safe environment for both to practice their hobbies. Mark is the type of person that you want to spend time with. Highly recommended. Thank you.

Mark once again hosted a wonderful group shoot at his gaff, this time themed around Xmas and NYE. It was a lovely time and he is always a fantastic host. I simply cannot stress enough how good these group shoots are, from both a social and professional aspect. Just want to meet new faces? You'll meet loads. Want a strong batch of images for your portfolio? Boom, you'll get it here, trust me. A wonder of a man, do yourself a favour and work with him!

I experienced my first body paint shoot with Mark and it was such a fun experience that I can't wait to do it again.

Mark made me feel comfortable and he guiding me throughout the shoot, checking in with me all the time.

The artistry that went into the body painting was insane. It was nice to share the space with such a talented man.

If you ever want to experience body painting then Mark is definitely your guy. I felt like a million dollars after our session 😊.

Thank you Mark!

Mark kindly hosted a couple of group shoots in his home, both of which I have attended. The most recent was a Halloween themed event, for which he allowed me to use his bathroom for a blood bath shoot! Mark had prepared edible blood which was poured all over myself and in his bath. You can almost certainly guarantee that at one of his group shoots there will be some kind of gore! As mentioned previously on his photography page, Mark is a pleasure to work with, and besides him being a treasured friend he is incredibly professional in his work and takes pride in every project he undertakes. Body paint wasn't something I ever thought I would be comfortable doing but I can confidently say I would trust Mark 1000% and we have a plan in the making for an incredible idea.

I have been really keen to do a body painting shoot for some time, so I found absolutely the right person in Mark. We got on like a house on fire - which isn't difficult with Mark because he is so sociable, kind and is a wonderfully generous host. We both showed up in Crocs too so as the adage goes: Twinning is Winning, so we were already off to a flying start. As this was a new area and, indeed, my first shoot with Mark he immediately reassured me by putting me totally in control and was clear he robustly understood my levels. His work is testiment to his clear artistic talents and indeed his vast experience. I would shoot again with Mark in a heartbeat and am very grateful to have had the opportunity to finally work with this fabulous creative force. Mark, you ROCK!

Another over due shoot with marc recently at a group shoot in Bournemouth

What A wonderful man. A great host. A great organiser. Genuine and trustworthy down to the core

Can’t get enough of him didn’t get long enough to shoot but anytime with him is golden

See you soon marc

Thanks as always

Mark opened up his home today and let organised chaos take place with the occasional photo being taken too. His expertise shone from the get-go and if you needed it, he seemed to have it. I spent a good chunk of the day covered in fake blood and he made sure that everyone got the best amount for photos. He's an absolute pleasure to be around outside of the shoots as well and he made everyone feel incredibly welcome. You likely already know this but he comes highly recommended and rightfully so. I concur with the strongest emphasis.

Although me and Mark have meet socially for a few years now this was the first time I had chance to work around him and at his facility. Mark is a witty and very accommodating person. Clearly skilful at his art. His ability to make people feel relaxed around him made for a great group shoot. His props and costumes are initiative and pretty extensive. The location has lots of scope. Looking forward to meeting u with Mark both socially and creatively in the future. Highly recommended. Thank you.

Well what can I say bout this lovely man. Firstly I was made to feel welcome in his lovely home. Mark and I sat down and chatted how we would like the shoot to go. After getting all the details in place we set out to shoot. Mark has some great ideas a really has a passion for what he does. Mark was a true gent thought out the whole the shoot. Always make sure I was ok. After the shoot mark showed me all the images which to his credit looked amazing even before editing. The shoot was a breeze and we got some great images.

I would totally recommend Mark two any models or photographer's

Thank you so much mark and can’t wait to shoot with you again in your new place xx

I absolutely loved working with Mark , so much so I did it 2 weekends on the trot 🤣😁🤩 . Not only is he immensely talented at his art he's a jolly nice person too. Luckily he lives very close to me so I'm hoping we get to catch up again in the near future on another equally epic endeavour. Highly recommended 👌

What can I say, I love working with Mark!!! This time he painted me freehand and it was an amazing experience, very relaxing for me and also very interesting to watch. The end result was stunning and the pictures that followed are some of the best in my portfolio. Totally recommend Mark, he’s amazing!!!

I had an amazing first shoot today with the lovely Mark !

Such a friendly and professional man. Made me feel very comfortable and had lots of fun shooting.

Would highly recommend Mark for any creative shoots.

Can’t weight to see the finished results!

The Granary

A very interesting historical project came through our doors last week which required Mark's talents.

During a production meeting a few weeks before it became clear that on top of his already exhaustive knowledge he'd done around a week's extra research to get the exact era look as authentic as possible. The wardrobe department had a pool of researchers and historians but Mark, on Make-Up conducted all the research himself and absolutely pulled it out of the bag.

His communication before the shoot was great. His cheery demeanour on the day helped keep the talent (already out of their comfort zone) calm and in good spirits.

Overall a fantastic addition to any team. Highly recommended and we can't wait to get him in again!
