I worked with Mark recently at Fine and Dandee on a recent studio day and had an absolute blast! It was our first time working together so I am always a little nervous!

However from first meeting Mark he was very personable, kind, respectful and down to earth. Marks communication leading upto the shoot was first class and he shared my love of Old Hollywood and mono! I absolutely loved the results from the 2 hour session at Fine and Dandee and look forward to further uploads :)

I would absolutely love to shoot with Mark again and can highly recommend to all. Thank You for such a lovely day and hope to work together again soon! Helen x

I had the pleasure of working with Mark for the first time at Scarlet Door last weekend during my studio day there!

He contacted me directly and we discussed the unique and unconventional concept he had and was helpful to provide reference images for inspiration!

On the day he arrived on time, and was very polite and friendly, treating both myself and studio a great deal of respect!

On set Mark gave great direction and enthusiasm when shooting and is very skilled technically!

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Punkrockemo and would love to shoot with them again in the future.

Greatly recommend!

I worked with Mark yesterday at Scarlet Door Studio. He’s quite new to model photography but eager to learn. I found Mark to be very professional and friendly and the shoot was relaxed and enjoyable. We spent an hour mainly shooting portraits but also a few full length images with Mark changing the lighting as we were shooting. He showed me some of the results on the back of the camera and they looked really lovely.

I would happily recommend working with Mark :)

PoZers hosted a studio day with the beautiful Tann-Marie, and Mark was our early afternoon booking and as it was his very first studio Model, he was a bit apprehensive at the beginning, but soon got into the swing of things. I did some 1-1 Portrait Lighting with Mark, showing him a wide genre of sets during his two hours with Tann, and he was really thrown in at the deep end, but he took like a duck to water. Everyone is nervous on their first shoot, I remember mine like yesterday, falling in love with photography and being like a sponge, absorbing all the information and running away, being lost in the moment of capturing those first images, Mark did exactly the same. Two hours just flies by in the studio, and I’m sure Mark felt the same, it’s like learning to drive, once you have the skills, it’s then about developing your style. I don’t teach photography to get my clients to shoot like me, or take on my style, that’s being arrogant, I love to see my clients develop their own style, and Mark already knows what he likes, and this is a massive hurdle, that very few achieve in the early days. All of us start with zero references, all of us start with limited ability, but Mark has experience in natural light and being in the studio, just means, you get to control the sun, the clouds and the background, once you’ve taken control, the rest will follow through practice, and Mark has great potential, given the opportunity. Please don’t let his lack of references put you off, Mark is a lovely guy, was really kind, very grateful and fully respectful of Tann at all times. He really enjoys portrait work, this is a great genre to start with, and I’m sure with the right nurturing, and plenty of practice, Marks portfolio will be strong and his journey has just begun, so give him a chance and watch him flourish, and remember that time, when you arrived into PurplePort with no references ??? We all have a start to our journeys, so welcome to Marks. Thank you Mark for being a great student, for being kind and caring to Tann, and I wish you every success on your journey in the studio environment, and hope to have you back at PoZers, to watch your photographic story unfold.
