Early morning Sunday shoots for a massage/wellness brand are exactly how all Sundays should start right?! Mark and I shot for Great Bear Oils brand at my home in the beautifulness of natural light, showing how the brand will travel to clients homes for a completely stress free massage or said treatment. What’s not to love?! Thanks for another fab shoot Mark and always thinking of me to complete the shoots you do!

We shot together again! Shooting at The Factory, we were spoiled with a beautiful setting AND natural light and worked our way through a fabulous 6 hour shoot filled with juxtaposing set styles. Let me tell you, the outcomes are looking 🔥 and I can’t sit to get sharing the images! Here’s to the next fun filled shoot!

As you can see from Marks refs, we have worked together more than a handful of times (we used to live in the same town!), but this was the first time shooting together since I moved back to London. So we spoke of shoot plans before formally arranging, and decided to shoot at AURAphotograpic to work through the sets we had to work through. It was v exciting working with the natural light and huge window settings whilst experimenting with a Lensbaby, working through dance sets and also lingerie. Looking forward to sharing the work soon. Thanks so much again Mark!!

Mark was my first shot of the day during my London modernist apartment event (yay to finally getting to shoot in natural light conditions together!) and it went AMAZINGLY. I’ve just seen the images and can’t wait to get sharing them with the world; we shot on a Jack Vettriano theme (an artist we are both passionate about) and so of course were both as excited as the other and got some fabulous shots within the 2 hour morning session. Thanks again Mark, here’s to he next! ✨

An initial side note: I have shot with Mark many times (too many to count, we live in the same town!) and so there are many missing ref’s between this and my my last (and first) 3 years ago, but I’m committing to leaving refs for everyone this year onwards! I shot with Mark for 4 hours at my home, working on a couple of concepts which we had previously covered but wanted to add to or work further on. These were two entirely different styles and completely both v successfully! I have another shoot booked in with Mark in mid Feb at my next London event, can’t wait! Thanks so much Mark!

Had such a great first shoot with Mark on Tuesday! Although it was a short 2 hour shoot at my home, we got through a lot of sets and I have every faith that the final edits will look great! Mark is super professional and clearly has a lot of experience in the industry! Fortunately for me he lives just in the next town, so hope to work with him again in the near future! Thanks Mark!!

Had a fantastic shoot with Mark onboard my home. He quickly worked out how to work with such a small space realy knows his stuff and what he want to achieve.

Mark was very easy to get on with.

The pre coms were spot on.

I would recommend him to anyone and more than welcome to have him come back to my home anytime.

Thanks Kate

Mark came along to our Studio for an event jointly organised with great model @kellyhathaway. I would not hesitate recommending Mark to any models or studios out there. A proper gent, that prepares his photoshoots well and fun to work with. Mi casa su casa.

I had the absolute pleasure of meeting and working with Mark at my studio day at Macrotopic Studios.

Pre-communications were brilliant. I knew the styles of images that Mark wanted to achieve and he sent me over a selection of reference images so that we would both be on the same page on the day.

Depsite travelling a long way to get to the location, Mark arrived early and full of energy so we could shoot an extra hour on top of our slot to shoot beforehand which was excellent. Mark is super friendly, easy to get on with, has an amazing sense of humour (he got some funny images of me mid-laughing!), gave great direction but also allowed me to pose freely too and is professional and totally respectful.

Mark works at a relaxed yet productive pace. He had sent me over some images that afternoon and they were amazing! I can not recommend this lovely gentleman enough. You must work with him! You will not be disappointed!

Thanks again Mark :)

I had an amazing shoot today with Mark. Please, if you have the opportunity to work with him, do it! You’ll be doing yourself a favour.

Mark is what I would call a real down to earth soul. He is polite, friendly, and a delight to shoot with. I get a great vibe from Mark, I really enjoyed shooting with him I feel we were both very relaxed.

Mark was 15 minutes early which was great, he showed great initiative and set up a nice spot for us to shoot.

Mark was great with direction and I really enjoyed his lighting, he was efficient with how he wanted his lights and took lots of shots from different angles which again I like because this way I know he would have at least one good shot.

After the shoot we had a nice tea and a chat and got to know eachother which was really nice.

I am looking forward to future shoots with Mark, he has lots of ideas and is very knowledgeable. He is just really great honestly I would recommend him to anyone. I don’t have anything negative to say at all.

Thank you for the shoot today Mark! You’re Ace!

Love, F xxx

Really enjoyable shoot with Mark today in Warwick.

Mark totally understands my style as a model and we did a few really cool sets, bot high key and low key.

I found Mark really easy and interesting to talk to and with a relaxed sense of humour

Thank you for a great shoot :D

Was lucky enough to shoot with Mark not once but twice last week . Unfortunately both occasions were on location on bitterly cold days , but we survived and Mark does a great job of looking after his models and ensuring they dont freeze too much :D Mark is also friendly and we just hit it off from the word go . Loved seeing some of the results from the back of the camera . Both shoots were great and I would hesitate on recommending mark .

I had a really enjoyable shoot today with Mark at Grahams studio in Warwick.

Marks comms were spot on and detailed from the start which is always greatly appreciated.

He arrived on time and was even happy to alter his booking for me today.

Mark is really cool to shoot with and has a good sense of humour, he makes the shoot a laid back atmosphere with his music and chats during shooting. We covered various levels and I was completely comfortable right from start.

The two hours flew in and I hope to shoot again on my next visit to Warwick.

Highly recommended

Due to the snow Mark and I finally managed to get together for a shoot last week but it was well worth the wait. Mark's friendly character immediately put me at ease and gave clear directions if there was something particular he was after. I wouldn't hesitate recommending him to other models and can't wait to see what we managed to create :)

Mark is absolutely brilliant, as a photographer and in person !!

Marks knowledge and eye for lighting was such a delight to be around. I was just in awe of his talent. I enjoyed every moment and meeting a gem like this is why I model.

Mark was so kind and has so much respect and understanding of this industry. Making sure I was warm, protected and I was completely at ease. We had cake and tea and plenty of babbling.

1001% recommended from me. work with him, you will be sure to have beautiful portraits.

Thanks for a great day :)
