I had seen a lot of Mark's work through FB and here on PP so I was thrilled when I turned up at the August Woolton Hall networking event to find him there! He is a brilliant photographer and made me feel very comfortable and at ease. The images I have seen from our brief shoot are absolutely fantastic and I am very eager to work with him again in the near future.... (let's get something booked in!!!!) Highly recommended!

Mark is very easy going and fun to work with. Willing to try out ideas and be creative in the process! Loved shooting with him and would do it again in a heartbeat.

Far Forest Studio

We were pleased to welcome Mark to our studio today for his first visit and we hope it wont be the last.

Great to chat to, fun, outgoing, easy going personality, yet a complete professional at all times.

Well prepared and thorough in his approach to getting the shot he wants. He worked with two models here and both thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the back of camera results.

Highly recommended to any studio or model.

Fortunate that our paths have crossed again, shooting with Mark is always a pleasure.

Mark is excellent at direction and is well prepared in advance knowing what he wants to get out of a shoot. Mark is a photographer of slow and steady progress thinking out the shot to capture the best one possible.

If you have a chance to work with Mark, take the opportunity and enjoy!

This is probably a bit unusual as I am a photographer leaving a reference for another photographer!

Yesterday Mark and I worked together on a shoot with @Synthia Minx and @Gambrillsgal which involved over 5 hours travel to and from Birmingham to @far forest studio. During that time I don't think a negative word passed his lips! This despite my crap navigation and driving including nearly getting him killed.

Even when we got round to discussing favorite and least favorite models he wasn't horrible about anybody (unlike me) @Rhi Vamped was top for both of us by the way

Thoroughly nice guy as well as a great photographer

I first met Mark on a group shoot in February. I had my first shoot with him today at Far Forest Studio . I can't recommend him enough. Amazing photographer. Incredibly respectful , brilliant sense of humour!! I can't wait to see images & I looking forward to working with him again. Thank you Mark

I absolutely loved working with this chap and his red beard.

As this was a group shoot night we only had a few hours shoot time for the whole group so, I only really got the chance to shoot with him briefly. I must say that Mark well and truly made the most of his time. He captured fantastic portraits!

I thoroughly enjoyed working with him. I would highly recommend him to all without any reservation!

Mark was one of two incredible official Rogue Model Management photographers at the RMM portfolio update day.

I was very excited to work with him as his work is beautiful. In person Mark is polite, quiet and very thorough. He likes to get every shot just right. He gives direction in a way that gets the best shots but doesn't over rule or intimidate. He listened to my ideas and spent time working on what I wanted, making me feel valued and like I have some really valuble work to add to my portfolio.

I look forward to working with him again and would recommend him very highly!

I was one of the models mark worked with at a network day, at woolton hall. Mark took my ideas on board and worked with me to get the best results, he gave good direction, and added a few other ideas to the shoot. The images havw turned out great, and I'm very pleased with them. I would work with mark again, he's not only a good photographer, but he's easy going and good to get along with too. I would highly recommend him. Thanks mark, absolute pleasure to work with.

Met mark at woolton hall. It was my first event with other photographers and models so I was a little nervous but he has a lovely friendly smile which made me feel at ease straight away. I had the privilege of working with him towards the end of the day and it was brilliant. Great communication and direction. The pictures looked great on the day so I can't wait to see them.

Worked with Mark for the second time in just over a week, this time on a completely different theme, when I arrived everything was set up and raring to go, Mark was professional and asked myself and the model about any poses we wanted to try and we all got input into the shoot which was great, such a great relaxed day and I cant wait to see the final images, I would highly recommend Mark - Thanks again for asking me along :)

Just awesome! I had my first shoot with Mark at his studio in Liverpool recently and have nothing but the ultimate praise for his skills. As well as being down-to-earth and super easy to get along with, he is tremendously organised and his studio is kitted out with a range of backdrops and lighting equipment. Mark knew exactly how to create a relaxed, professional environment to produce some truly stunning shots.

With the aid of MUA Rhian Taylor, we shot three different sets, and during each one Mark worked diligently and creatively to get results. He is happy to let you pose freely but gives strong, clear direction where needed. To top it all off, he has a cracking sense of humour which makes for a whole lotta fun. The time flew by! Thanks very much Mark, I can’t wait to show off our pics!! :-)

Worked with Mark and model Amina in Liverpool, communication before the shoot was great with ideas on looks and makeup styles passed back and fourth so on the day it was clear what looks we needed to achieve, Mark was there on time and ready to shoot, the images I have seen so far are amazing and I can't wait to see the final edits! Would definitely recommend working with Mark and look forward to working with him in the future.

Mark kindly picked me to be the model for a small group shoot he was organising and as my first group shoot, he made me feel so welcome and at ease! Despite the time restraints on each photographer, Mark was patient and knew what he wanted and you could see he is a super talented guy. Would highly recommend him to anyone wanting something unique and awesome to their portfolio! Thanks Mark :)

I had the pleasure of working with mark recently at project breathe based at Katie's house (woolton hall). Mark was very professional from the beginning and yet so friendly :)... Mark had some brilliant ideas for shots and gave direction where needed. Overall mark was a delight to work with and hopefully will get to work together again in the near future :) highly recommended

Had an opportunity to work with Mark on Saturday at Networking event. And I can honestly say, Mark is an amazing person and a great photographer. He knew exactly what he wanted to get out of our photoshoot and he had everything planned. He is really professional and knows what he's doing. I hope to have another photoshoot with Mark sometime soon and I really recommend him to anyone who wants to have a great time and get brilliant shots.

Mark is an amazing photographer and a lovely guy to work with, we had a blast doing a portrait and fashion shoot today it was brilliant! I'd love to work with Mark again in the future and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to get some amazing shots!

Everly Rose

Has a boss shoot with Mark this week.

We first shot together when Mark joined pp and its fair to say he's come on in leaps and bounds since.

Marks full of enthusiasm and ideas as well as listening to my zany thoughts and helping bring them to life.

Lovely guy, great photographer and highly reccomended.
