I spent a wonderful afternoon with Mark yesterday and, after impeccable pre-shoot communication/planning, he absolutely smashed the shots out the park.

Friendly, funny, fantastically relaxed and able to navigate my burgeoning houseplant obsession - Mark has a great eye for framing and colour composition. These are some of my favourite photographs ever.

Very much recommend. Please have me back soon!

I had the great pleasure of finally working with Barbarossa photo (mark) today.

After watching his portfolio and skills grow.

It goes without saying it has been a fantastic experience.

He is a great person and extremely welcoming.

Gave great details with his communication in the build up to the shoot date.

He certainly has a creative mind. springing idea's to capture great pose's which he can dictate and allow expressive freedom.

great with lighting and shadow technique.

Certainly recommended to everyone here.

till the next time

cheers

We have been shooting since Wales 2 times already - Street fashion style shoot and today duo work with MR.NPR. And it was amazing collaborations. Communication as always spot on - We knew exactly what we were after , and images just spot on ! And he agrees to experiment , always in inspiring mood - didn’t mind for us to experiment and spot on for capturing ideas to reality . After shoot we enjoyed cup of refreshing drink to enjoy the images and choose our “winners”. Highly highly recommended by me. And looking forward for some crazy ideas in the future - it’s always a pleasure working with Barbarossa photo .

I shot with Mark at a group shoot at C&L Studios last night, he was very creative with lighting set ups and we did lots of experimentation.

We used a ring light shot and a piece of green fabric to accent my hair colour which looked awesome! And then he captured movement of me swishing/throwing my ballgown around.

Overall all I love how creative he was with the shoot and can’t wait to see the images he’s taken. I’d happily shoot again 😊

Shooting in the beautiful location of Woolton Hall, Mark had a vision he was able to express to my self and others with enough clarity and confidence to have hopefully gotten some fantastic shots, absolutely lovely to talk to, would definitely work with him again, highly recommend to anybody!

I recently worked with Mark at Woolton Hall networking event. I immediately clicked with him over a joke about a red dress (he will know what I mean) haha. He is really professional, knows his stuff from what I seen he is great with all models. He is a genuinely nice guy would love to work with him again. He showed me a couple of previews at the back of the camera and the images where amazing.

I had the pleasure of working with Mark for the second time at a group studio evening at Studio 38 and once again it was a true joy to work with him. He's relaxed and friendly yet still totally professional and has a fantastic style - I'd highly recommend working with him to anyone looking for a brilliant photographer.

We shot yesterday in a studio in Liverpool.

Mark was great, he has an excellent eye for detail and posing models and getting angles spot on.

He always shows photos which is excellent and really encouraging. I had a mood board but Mark also had some very creative and exciting ideas too which looked amazing. He sent over my favourite photo the same day which was so kind.

I had a brief and he followed it amazingly as well as getting the shots he wanted too. After the shoot, we sat with a brew and went though our favourite photos.

10/10 I would recommend him and would work with him again.

Finally managed to shoot with this very talented photographer.

Pre Comms excellent, Mark is professional, creative, great personality and really good with use of light.

I learned alot on this shoot, how to create the best shapes for art nude.

We worked well together as a team with laughs along the way.

I recommend Mark 100% and can't wait to shoot again.

Look forward to seeing the edits.

Thanks so much Mark x

I finally had the chance to work with Mark this evening after having seen his work for a while and I am so glad that I had the opportunity to. I can already tell that we managed to get some fantastic results working together and I cannot wait to see the images.

He has a great personality and clearly has a keen, creative eye for creating images. I highly recommend working with him!

My favourite shoot to date! Mark was incredible and made me feel so at ease :) we had an evening shoot in John Ayliffe’s city centre studio (highly recommend). Lots of beautiful dresses, Mark gives great advice on posing and how to create beautiful shapes. Thank you so much and I can’t wait to see the images!

I worked with Mark just yesterday at C&L studio in Wirral! What a wonderful day we had

Given that I was full of cold, I was nervous how I’d work on the day, mark reassured me that I was totally alright and that we are all human

He has a great energy about him & a total godsend!

Lots of smiles and laughs throughout I got on so well with him

I recently worked on a shoot with Mark and it was an absolute pleasure. Mark was great at communicating before, during and after. Mark is incredibly friendly and makes you feel very at ease. The shoot went without a hitch and he gave me space to work while also being on hand to support. I've seen a couple of images so far and they are stunning, what a talent. I would definitely recommend!
