What Mark tells us

I am based in the small market-town of Newport in beautiful county of Shropshire and my work is regularly published in an array of books and journals such as BBC Wildlife, Natures Home, The Shropshire Magazine and Wild Planet Photo Magazine among many others.  I have long-standing contracts with the RSPB’s Image Library and FLPA for my stock image sales as well.

I also run the leading wildlife photography holiday and workshop business called Natures Images with fellow professional Danny Green, a programme that gives me the opportunity to share my passion and hopefully knowledge for this fantastic photographic genre in a responsible and enthusiastic manner.

I’ve not been a participator at all in the photographic competition world in the last 10 or so years – principally due to time and other focuses – but lockdown and the pandemic allowed more of the former and I entered Bird Photographer of the Year in 2021 with a couple of Highly Commended successes. A few years back when I seemed to have more of it, I had enjoyed category successes in the British Wildlife Photography Awards over a number of it’s early years, including winning the first Wildlife on Video category they ran, and was also overall winner of Outdoor Photographer of the year back in 2011.
