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!

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!

Oh.Gosh.You.Found.Me

What an amazing first shoot!

Mark is honestly wonderful to work with. It was my first time being air brushed and I don't think I've ever seen so much blue in all my life.

Communication before, during and after has been flawless. Mark was extremely accomadating to both myself and chaperon, he answered all my questions and even let me use his shower once we were done.

I would love to work with him again as the images I've seen so far are incredible.

I urge all models to work with this artist/photographer.

I had my first shoot with Mark a few weeks ago after answering a casting of his. I'd never done a shoot like this before but was really excited to take on something a bit different.

Mark provided excellent pre-shoot comms so I knew exactly what I needed to do and bring with me on the day.

Once I arrived Mark did some make up wizardry to fit the theme (a boxer in the ring) - applying cuts and bruising to my face - and we got started. Mark had a really clear image of what he wanted from the shoot and we were done really quickly. He also let me know all about everything he was applying to my face so I was comfortable.

I had a great experience working with Mark and would definitely recommend him!

What can i say… some people you just click with and mark and I got on like a house on fire, he’s an amazing guy.

Sooo talented, offered to pick me up as I cycled to his studio… ha.

Beautiful home, lovely vibe, I felt at ease straight away. I knew it would be amazing but seriously blown away by the talent of this man. He takes deep pride in his work, and it really shows, before, during and after the shot. Working with mark has given me a confidence boost, and I’ve got amazing pictures to be proud off.

I 1 million percent recommend. Thanks again 😊

Don't know where to start mark made me feel comfortable and relaxed the whole day really nice guy. Took the time to go through the shoot what was expected explained the process and ensured we both got what we wanted and intend to do. Absolutely loved that we both had the same vision and that we were able to share our creative talents with one other. I know we have created some wicked pics today can't wait to see them.

Have to say that the bloody dark easter bunny shoot was out of this world. Had so much fun today. Covered in blood, eating body parts well what can I say.. Other than it was a messy but fun shoot to do I really enjoyed it. Even got a shower too 😁.

I would highly recommend Mark to anyone and I look forward to creating some awesome pics soon. Thanks again and pleasure to meet you ✌️
