Hello I'm Mark
I'm a photographer and I take pictures of Jewellery and Watches.
I was born and grew up in Devon, England. After having the opportunity to travel to many European countries for work I finally settled my home and studio just outside the beautiful city of Valencia in Spain.
Growing up, I thought my 'OCD' and slightly obsessive attention to detail was something to apologise for, that was until I picked up a camera and realised it was actually my 'Jedi power'.
I am responsible for my wife, 4 children, 1 horse, 3 dogs, 1 miniature pony, 2 dwarf pigs and 1 cat (all rescue animals, except the children who are my own, of course!).
Once, wearing just shorts, a t-shirt and goggles and after having no more than 10 minutes tuition, I jumped from a perfectly serviceable airplane over the Mediterranean coast. This was the most exhilarating 90 seconds hurtling towards the earth (just to add, I did have a parachute and instructor strapped to my back).
I'm based in Valencia, but regularly travel for projects to London and the south west of England as well as throughout Europe. I specialise only in photographing jewellery and watches. The challenges of capturing the character and craftsmanship of each piece I photograph, balances against the satisfaction in seeing the finished, fully focused photograph.
