Oliver Haines - I finally seized my first chance to work with Mark and it was well worth doing. He has been great with communication right through and was very accommodating to the whims of the shoot, very encouraging and helpful. I would thoroughly recommend working with this very professional and down to earth man and I look forward to doing so again! Thank you Mark!

Ifan Griiffiths - I was lucky enough to have Mark over to shoot in my home studio after answering his casting. What can I say? He's a really nice guy easy to talk to and able to model without direction but also takes direction very well. Highly recommended. And I hope we get to shoot together again soon.

 

 

John Rawlinson Artist & Painter- I had a very professional, very easy 2 hour life painting session with Mark on Friday 4th March 2016. he was very friendly and managed to keep amazingly still in the same pose for an extended period. He did not fidget and did not require entertainment by being talked to. He was also very flexible over the arrangements, which were changed at the very last minute for my convenience. Mark is an accomplished and experienced model who is good to work with. Highly recommended.

Max Van De Banks - Make up artist - I worked with Mark on a planet of the apes style shoot on the 18/12/16 He had to under go 2 hour's of makeup by myself Max Van De Banks (makeup max) . Mark was patient and able to remain calm while a prosthetic face hair and makeup was applied he was relaxed and happy with the application and was a great model when it came to the shoot really making the character come to life. after the shoot he had to have the makeup removed which again took some time and Mark was again great and very patient while this was being done. Would recommend Mark to anyone wanting a very professional model to work with. Hope we have the chance to work together again Mark.

Darkmoon - Model / ActressI worked today for the first time with Mark in Spitfire Studios and the photographer Stephen Edwards. Mark is a very professional guy , intelligent with a great artistic talent and easy to work. We produced a series of noir shoot and sincerely happy of the results. He is excellent in his facial expressions and very good for a professional acting career. Well done Mark !!! Hope to work with you again soon.

​

​

Stephen Edwards - This was my first shoot with Mark, pre shoot comms were great and he arrived on time and well prepared. Mark was able to achieve the poses selected from our mood board quickly. He is body aware so can easily adjust to achieve exactly what is needed. He works quickly and is very professional in his approach.

Mark also works as a life model and this shows and is a real bonus for photography work. I can highly recommend Mark to all photographers, especially for less experienced togs as his approach makes the photographer job an easy one.

​

DeSilva Photography- Mark came up to mine for the day and we had a great time trying out many of the ideas that we'd thrown about beforehand. Pre-comms were really good and Mark brought a great selection of outfits to pick from. We had a bit of a go with the flow sort of shoot with a ramble around Cheltenham included... Bargain! I'm really pleased with the Images I've edited so far and there's a few more to do yet. Highly recommended.

Mark Holbrook Mark was great to work with, it was the first time we met in person, I had previously explained my objectives via cemail, as I am an amateur I learnt from him as well in the shoot which helped me a lot which I am very grateful for. We achieved what we went out to do and more, his easy going personality made it a pleasure to work with. Look forward to working with Mark in the future.

 

 

Photos for you. - Super trouper. Had a fab shoot with Mark. Mark is such a trouper, he kindly travelled all the way to mine and even though his train was cancelled on the day he still arrived early for our shoot, wow. Arrived with lots and lots of clothes to cover all bases. Recommended if you’re looking for a cool and laid back gent who is an absolute pleasure to work with. Thanks Mark

​

 

Elliott Winter Photography - I met Mark for the first time a week or so ago, and we had a great time creating a few images in a fashion themed shoot. Mark brought along a range of clothes to try (some that he'd even ordered just for the shoot) and was very relaxed throughout. I found Mark to be pleasant and professional, and even let me set him on fire*. His dedication and willingness to work toward the common goal was outstanding, and he was very patient. I'd happily work with Mark again, and would definitely recommend him. *(for the shoot. We'd agreed this before hand)

David Guerrero Model / Dancer / Actor - A lovely cute sexy shoot with him! -We didn't know each other and we did an amazing shoot! I’m so happy and I can't wait to see the footage! Thank you for having me. Regards David G   

 

 

Karl Royce Photography - Worked with Mark on a duo shoot that he had arranged and not only was he a total pleasure to work with but professional whitty and a joy to be around. A slim guy with amazing character to his face which he uses with great skill. Hope to do more projects with him in the future. Highly recommended. Karl

DK- Photography - Wanting to build up my currently small portfolio of b&w head & shoulders shots of blokes, I had a gut feeling that Mark had just the sort of face - and approach - for which I was looking. After my first shoot with him, I wasn't disappointed. The shoot was very successful. I've got, with minimal editing, the shots I wanted. I can't recommend Mark highly enoough. He's relaxed, interesting, good humoured, hospitable, and seems to understand exactly what the photographer is looking. He's also an artist, with a sharp eye for what makes a striking picture. I'll look forward to another shoot with him.

Gould Photography -  Mark was a great guy to work with turned up and we meet for coffee before shooting. confident in frontf of the camera. was a last minute plan but was able to sort something. fun shooting you mark would happily shoot again.

 

​

M a r t i n  B i l l i n g s A shoot with specific aims and demands required an enthusiastic model. When approaching Mark his ability to accept the idea and his vision to the final results were forthcoming and appreciated. Pre-shoot communications were brilliant, and when we met at the location in Bristol, a busy art cafe I knew at once we'd get on. In the basement, occasionally quietly interrupted by staff coming and going, he remained professionally focused on the task of image capture. No photographer could ask for more. Mark is a brilliant actor able to bring facial glances at a stroke - mystery, villainous, grief, disenchantment - all I wanted to achieve was met. And all undertaken with a 'slipping crown'.Thank you Mark, you'll appreciate that last remark...

​

Modelled Me UK  - I booked Mark to model for one of my mid week Life Drawing workshops. He took a day's holiday to come and model for us, travelling from Bristol and he arrived on an earlier train which was great because it meant that we arrived at the venue in plenty of time for him to settle in. So many models turn up with only a minute to spare. Mark delivered some beautiful poses and was rock still. All the artists were over the moon with his work. We hope he will consider returning to us for may be an all day event in 2016. Thank you Mark for being so professional.

JK-SW Photography - We had the pleasure of working with Mark on a nude shoot primarily for his life drawing work. His pre shoot communications were excellent and he arrived on time. Mark knew what he wanted from the shoot which made our lives much easier. Mark knows his body and the positions he can get into and hold for long periods of time. He is a lovely person, very talkative and easy to get on with. We would definitely recommend Mark and would work with him again.
