The majority of this work has been shot over the last eighteen months. During this time, I have been Included in International magazine "Lurzers" ‘Top 200 Advertising Photographers in the World’. I have also won commendations from the International Colour Awards and Campaign's Photographic Awards.
For me, creating that one, perfect image is what drives me. I know a photograph is only the record of a fraction of a second but; it’s the lead-up to that moment that dictates the quality of the shot. Preparation is everything.
I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I did making them.
““As a Senior Creative I have worked with Mark on many occasions. Not only is he the best photographer I have worked with in a creative sense, his ability to work hand in hand with an art director to deliver the highest quality work is unrivaled in my opinion. We worked on a fashion shoot for a Spring/Summer Advertising campaign in Devon. Timings meant we had to shoot this in January which was a real challenge from the outset. Mark adapted to the ever changing British weather and client requests to deliver some truly magnificent work. Nothing was ever an issue. A true professional with stacks of humour and humility. He is an absolute joy to work with.

“I rely on Mark to bring the image I’ve got in my head to life. He’s brilliant with people, he listens, and he always brings something extra to a picture. As an art director, I need to feel in control and his inclusive way of working gives me that. The other thing about Mark is that he’s an organiser par excellence: big productions, deranged deadlines, models who develop acne overnight… nothing phases him, although trying to stop a six foot model in killer heels and evening wear sinking into hay bales was a challenge to say the least! He makes complicated jobs easy to do, the results are a joy and he’s a nice guy.”
“It has been a real pleasure working with Mark on our advertising campaigns, they have been such a success; he is the most patient photographer that I have ever worked with. Mark brings out a certain flair in his photography style, it is almost hard to point out the clarity in which he translates your thoughts into a still image, you are sure to have lots of fun while working hard.”
“I’ve always found Mark a real pleasure to work with. His stylish photography brings any creative work to life. I feel lucky to have worked with a photographer of this calibre.”
“I am proud to say I have had the great pleasure and massive benefit of working with Mark on many, many occasions.
He is patient and thoughtful and a gifted, problem-solving photographer.
Anything from beauty, fashion, still life and landscapes, even if it’s just a sandcastle on a beach, all Mark’s works are realized with a fresh eye, a quality finish, in a unique Mark-like way. Don’t be surprised if you are surprised at the results.
Relax, you’re in safe hands if you want dangerously good work.”
“A big campaign with African animals; I had no idea how we could achieve the shots we needed – Mark said he would produce the whole shoot from start to finish which completely eased my worries. 10 days later we were in a cage in the middle of Africa surrounded by rather angry looking lions. He made it so easy to produce such great shots.”
