About me

Photographer, brand story teller, portraitist. aka - Able to wield a camera with venom. Digital / Physical disrupter, hybrid art, VR/XR/AR, NFT, just loves seeing what things can do that they're not designed to. Mark refuses to just photograph yet another beautiful person in yet another beautiful outfit, style & stories are infinitely more fascinating to him. You like "Hell yeah!" pictures and interesting stories? You don't have to be cool and interesting, Marks niche is in the art of showing you that you in fact already are those things and more. You sell yourself & your "brand" on these things, this isn't your everyday "fake it till you make it" fakery. This is the honest and note worthy YOU. Also working in the heritage sector helping create images for digital archives alongside the creation of marketing material for some of the countries most prestigious museums, attractions & collections. He zigs while everyone else zags. He tends to run long distances & can pedal a bike quite quickly He likes coffee & biscuits. He also finds it absolutely ludicrous writing about himself in third person.
