Friends and family would say that if you sliced Mark in half he would
have photographer written through him like a stick of rock. Since he
first picked up a camera aged 8 it's been a life long love of his. He
was lucky enough to grow up in Cornwall and would spend his weekends
photographing the landscapes & people of his home county. It also meant
that he was close to the prestigious Falmouth College of Arts where he
achieved a BA Hons in Photography in 1999.
Staying in his home county
meant he was also able to enjoy his love of shooting after first going
out rabbiting with his cousin Francis when he was 11. After graduating
from Falmouth he moved 'up country' and worked within the influential
family portrait brand Venture in one of their flagship studios in the
picturesque market town of Marlow where he was Style Director. After
leaving Venture he was approached to assist in the set up of the next
generation of portrait studios Imagine which was in the beautiful
Wiltshire countryside.
He has had his own business for the last 10 years
capturing the most important days in people's lives weddings,
christenings and family events. All the while in his spare time he
continued to enjoy shooting and beating for several local shoots; all
the while with a camera in his pocket! A countryman at heart he has now
finally been able to put his favourite two pastimes together by adding
country sports to his repertoire. The Sporting Picture has gone from
strength to strength & Mark is extremely proud to be to The official
photographer for both E.J. Churchill, on the West Wycombe Estate with
the prestigious shooting ground and sporting agency & The Princes
Countryside Fund; The Prince of Wales' charity supporting rural
communities.
Mark has always loved & lived in the countryside after
living in rural Oxfordshire for the last 12 years. He is
never happier than when he is out in the fresh air capturing images of
the British countryside at its best.
Mark is available to photograph your shoot day in a photo-journalistic
style, capturing the day as it unfolds. From the beaters to the
guns he will tell the story of your shoot, capturing the great shots
and misses!
Mark has developed & honed his skill at capturing gun dogs doing what
they do best. Mark will capture your dog in field - working hard for
their handler, retrieving and flushing cover.
