Mark's eye for composition is virtually unmatched. He can see a shot, and take it in a split second that serves the subject being covered. His ability to compose cinematography is equally matched by his professorial instinct for the explanatory, and story-telling is a gift for him.

"I was knocked out by his strategic rigor, creative prowess and production nuance. Mark has that unique combination of having a clear POV and yet, able to collaborate in a team dynamic. I would work with Mark again in a nanosecond and whole-heartedly recommend him to any client, agency and/or production company!"

“I have been blessed to have a robust career that has allowed me to meet and work with some of the most talented people in the business and Mark is one of them. What makes Mark so different is his Multi Talented expertise – From creative direction, to design to integrated digital strategy to concepts to photography, writing, video production — it seems there is nothing that he cannot do. It’s incredibly refreshing to work with talent like that. The sky’s always the limit and possibility is never in question. It’s a beautiful thing.”
