  • “Naturally it is stunning to look at, but crucially it tells a story. Something far too few underwater cinematographers achieve.”

    Barny Revill • Series Producer • Life on Our Planet

  • Mark brought the optimal mix of technical excellence and visual flair… In the run up to our complicated dive shoot he was a fountain of knowledge that allowed us to deliver a stunning sequence

    James Shelton • Producer/Director • Our Living World

  • “Mark really makes the most of filming opportunities even when they are few and far between, as is often the case in Natural History.”
