Yeeey!!! 3rd year of art nude trip towards wales to capture some sensual images .

Mark is amazing at planning - and Pre shoot communication spot on . This time I might’ve though forgot some few bits due to a bit stressful situation not related to shoot .

Even I felt a bit out of ordinary - he found that messy classy powerful woman in me and outstanding , brilliant framings and sensuality were captured. (Thank you so much for your patience as well . )

Mark would never hesitated if you say “ emmm - let’s try ? Not sure how it will work ..” - he’s one of the best working around ideas like that , if you doubt my word - book him for that reason - and if I’m wrong , I’ll eat my socks .

Mark has become close friend of mine , and he would also be there for me when outside shooting I need some mature advise . He’s personality is warm and caring as well as down to earth with hella good humour .

Thanks again!

Highly recommended .

Mark and I have been connected for a few years now, and he's a cracking bloke.

Highly skilled photographer, polite, and dedicated. Another really nice guy, who knows what he is doing. Always up for a laugh, and always just a nice guy.

Thank you Mark.

Had the absolute pleasure of working with Mark at a Nude in Nature shoot day in Wales recently.

He was a joy to spend time with and be creative with and I absolutely love the images we've created together - he's a brilliant photographer!

I felt completely comfortable the whole time we were shooting, and I'd gladly work with him again - I hope we get to in the future!

Thank you again :)

I finally got to work with Mark after admiring his great work. He is full of ideas and has a creative eye. He taught me so much still being new to modelling, and I thank him for the knowledge he has past on! He is easy to get along with, chatty and witty. I received a generous amount of edits back within the week, I'm more than pleased with the outcome. Thanks again Mark, highly recommended working with him!

Had my first shoot with Mark today and what a shoot it was!

Communication before the shoot was fab and Mark was flexible with my ideas. We checked in with each other and planned so we were ready when it came to today.

A 2hrs shoot flew by and we got loads done at the studio Mark hired. He was polite and courteous, gave direction as required and made me feel so comfortable and like I’d known him for years.

Highly recommend and I can’t wait to see the results! Thank you 😊

Ulalalaaa - what an amazing shoots we have shared lately - and each time Mark brings on the set somth extraordinary - always prepared and ready to play with probs and lights and ideas .

Mark is not only amazing photographer , he has been an outstanding support to my carrier throughout the last 2 years , and I wouldn’t be where I am without his input to my portfolio .

We have worked a lot together - and achieved some amazing FPI’s ( still believe we deserve even more ) , I’ve learned a lot from him since the day one - and he would never ever stop me from experimenting with ideas ( unless I’m about to hurt myself 😂 - health and safety cautious he is ).

The last shoot we had was more sensual , lingerie style shoot - and again - boom ! I’m amazed with his edits , attention to detail and talent to see the frame within models pose - girls , do not hesitate to work with him , if you get a chance - He is 5 star photographer!! And definatly must have on your portfolio - and especially to new models - he is the “ must work with “ Photograpger , he will help a lot for you to discover your possibilities in front of lense - I know , I did .

Thanks a lot , Mark for Beeing so brilliant - cheers and see you soon .

Got to Work with Mark again at a Group Shoot i attended last week.

Mark is very friendly, chatty and easy to work with and after a quick catch up over bacon butties...realising it had been 2 years since our last shoot, we jumped straight in.

Always an absolute blast, and never enough time working with Mark & The images always Turn out TOP NOTCH!

I highly recommend Mark to any Level of Model, He is extremely professional in his work and constantly making sure his models are relaxed and comfortable. He willingly gives direction when he wants a certain pose but is also happy to let you pose freely in between also.

I look forward to working with him again.

If you want a fun, relaxed shoot, get booking him in now! you wont be disappointed!!

Thanks Again Mark...Until Next Time!!

It was a long time in coming but all good things are.

Mark attended our Pure TFP Liverpool 2020 event and it was better for it.

No problems with pre shoot communication, arrived on time and was ready to roll.

Helped out new photographers at the event with knowledge and skills.

Worked well with the models present putting all at their ease and effortlessly producing great images.

Great to have met you today Mark, I hope its not so long until I see you again.

Highly recommended.

Met Mike at a Woolton Hall event, shooting with him was fab! Lovely guy who had lots of ideas (including making me into an angel) and snazzy lighting techniques but was also open to trying out anything I wanted to try. I'm sure we got some great shots and I can't wait to see them! Definitely recommend!
