Testimonials

Shooting with Mark is like finding your soul mate. He brings out this raw imagery of who you are, drawing out the beauty we all tend to hide. His work is stellar, without any editing. His play with light is incredible, and he makes you feel comfortable as he is so versatile. I am so happy I found him, his work has ruined me for other photographers.

Working with Mark was one of the greatest experiences of my life. He is professional and clear with his direction and endlessly patient. As a result I felt 110% comfortable in front of the camera. The images that Mark captured are my favourite to date and I always look forward to opportunities where I might have the pleasure of stepping in front of his camera again.

Thank you Mark for an incredible experience!

I must say that it was an incredible honour working with Mark. I have been doing this for a long time and Mark certainly is one of the best I’ve worked with.
He is creative and also just really did his best to make my experience a good one.

I would definitely recommend him to anyone. Keep up the good work bro, I believe you’re going to be here still for many years to come.

In this short period of starting my modelling career and all I have been going through I met a photographer who brought an emotional side to me whilst being in front of the camera. In the mist of what I went through he tried pushing me to snap out of it. I did not bring my A-game on our very first shoot, but I must say the quality of work he presented me the same night I woke up to see an image of myself was to the point that I felt a tear drop on my pillow. I couldn’t believe it was me. His work is remarkably outstanding , and the time he invest in giving you a great quality image.

Thank you Mark for the great memories I will always hold dear to my heart. Keep up the great work , never stop being passionate about what you create . Art is your middle name.

I never really trusted anyone to take photos of me until I met Mark. He saw something in me that I never knew existed and captured the essence of me in a way that made me feel beautiful and transformed! not only is his portraiture work uniquely amazing, but he has a beautiful perspective of everything around him that would make any memory and person special and unforgettable!

Mark is incredibly talented. I have learnt so much from him over the last few years, and much of my skill and talent have come from his pointers and advice along the way. I never cease to be amazed at the photo’s he posts and only wish I lived closer to be able to attend the workshops he runs!

If you’re reading this, and you’re able to attend one of his workshops – do yourself a favour and go! You’ll be so glad you did.

I attended one of Mark’s natural light workshops and it changed the way I shoot. I used to dislike natural light shoots as I always felt more in control with creating my own light sources. It’s been a challenge to focus on natural light when out and about, but it has expanded the way I think about taking photos. Thank you Mark, for a fantastic perspective and perception change.

I attended one of Mark’s Natural Light Photography workshops this last weekend. He gets his point across succinctly and is a great teacher. He creates an intimate, fun environment in which to learn. This workshop is great for both newbie and established photographers alike. Highly recommended!
