Hi I'm Mark, and I'm a nerd!

Based in Dorset, where the hills roll into the sea and the tea is strong enough to stand a spoon in. I work across the South West and beyond.

I like honest work, real light, and a strong cup of tea.

I wasn’t born with a camera in hand — though I’ve got a few childhood photos to prove I started early.

Photography really clicked for me at secondary school. I chose it as a subject partly because it meant one glorious thing: I could leave the school grounds in lesson time. Go exploring. Find something to photograph.

The real magic, though, was the darkroom. It stank of chemicals, nobody else wanted to be there, and it was full of nerds. Perfect. I could spend hours in there, pottering, printing, and watching images slowly come to life in the developer tray.

One day I took a photo of my grandad. Not technically brilliant, but the family loved it. When he died, they asked for copies.

That’s when I understood the power of a photograph. And it’s still what drives me to make the best images I can for the people I work with.
