"My experience with Big Mark was one of great learning and good company. I felt listened to and respected which helped me feel comfortable in the learning environment. With Big Mark's calm and simplified teaching approach I really felt I gained a much deeper knowledge of how to use my camera in the way I have always wanted too but wasn't able to do on my own."

ABOUT BIG MARK
Big Mark started photography way back in the year 1988 at the age of 15. His first camera was a Cosina film SLR. It wasn’t until 2009 that he started using digital cameras and he loved the new format so much that he decided to completely change careers. Big Mark studied at Photoschool in 2010 before starting Big Mark Photography in 2011.
STYLE
Big Mark specialises in environmental portraiture, capturing people in environments that are comfortable and represent who it is that they are. He uses off-camera light quite extensively to create images that are bold and revealing. Big Mark also likes to shoot land and oceanscapes, typically making use of long exposures to create dynamic images. As a commercial photographer, Big Mark specialised in conference and event photography, food, product and lifestyle images.
