Great to meet other people with the same interest and learn some much needed new skills. Mark was attentive and offered great advice. The only slight problem which wasn?t anybody?s fault, the market was SO incredibly busy. There was a protest on as well as it being one of the last Saturdays before Christmas I really enjoyed the event though. Thank you

Mark is an accomplished professional photographer. He likes the technical aspects of the camera, the full exposure triangle. Of course, he loves taking photographs, never goes anywhere without his camera. He is very good at teaching the technical aspects to eager photographers.
