Hi, I’m Mark.
I’m a Brighton Headshot & Editorial Photographer.
If you’re looking for someone to bring an authentic edge to your photos, look no further, I’d love to help.
I work with professionals, business owners and actors who want pictures that make them and their brand look confident and real.
If this is you, get in touch.
Sessions are simple, calm, and focused. We get to know each other before I reach for the camera, with conversation throughout the session.
Making photographs that feel soft and flattering, not harsh or over-styled, means there’s an emphasis on warmth and depth over stark contrast. This gives the photos a comfortable, genuine human quality.
In studio sessions music is played.
Photographs that are guaranteed to get you noticed
My intention is to take photographs that feel modern but also lasting.
Capturing a mix of moods, serious and introspective, friendly and open, confident and poised, the images I take show that I’m not just making one “look,” but adjusting to who you are.
You can come to my large studio in central Brighton, or I have a full mobile studio which can be brought to you at home or in your workplace (if you have space).
If you want images that inspire confidence, visually conveying range, professionalism and approachability then let’s collaborate on something that will make people stop and learn more.
I’m a Photographer based in Brighton. Self taught, I shoot both film and digital.
Love photographing anything with people involved, good, bad, beautiful and ugly.
Born in Newcastle, I’ve lived in the South East of the UK since my late teens. Still support Newcastle United though.
Shooting professionally since 2018, I’m currently working on a portrait project photographing artists and creatives in beautiful Brighton.

A professional headshot is a high-quality portrait designed to represent you across casting platforms, websites, LinkedIn, and marketing materials. As a Brighton headshot photographer, I create clean, natural images that reflect your personality and help you make a strong first impression.

For headshots, bring a selection of outfits that reflect your personality and the roles or professional image you want to portray. Simple, well-fitted clothing in neutral or muted tones works best, avoiding heavy patterns or logos.
