Mark is one of the best kept secrets in the market having been hidden away in the film industry but involved in image-making all his life.

Standing still is not an option for Mark and he’s always pushing the limits of what can be achieved.

Today he is the only person in the world who can provide a complete, in-house service for 3D lenticular including action capture, post production and printing.

Mark is the recipient of 8 silver awards at the 2009/2010 Australian Professional Photography Awards, where for the first time, 3D photos were entered against 2D images.

Mark was also the first person to enter the Moran Contemporary Portrait Prize (MCPP) in 2010 with 3D as a finalist.

Mark brings life experience to any assignment.
Starting off as a technical director and master controller for the TEN network for nearly a decade, Mark moved onto still photography, worked on staff for a couple of agencies before opening his own business providing commercial and advertising photography services for clients such as HSV, Henley Properties, Ford and Nissan.

Mark then took a career change developing a multiple still camera array called 'TimeSplice' for the film industry, providing The Matrix effect for television commercials around the world.

Mark was soon to develop the worlds first near 'real time' still camera system which was used successfully for Rove Live and Big Brother '07 providing smooth stabilised results at HD results in 15 seconds.

Still pushing the boundaries of image making, TimeSplice technology was well suited to the 3D lenticular printing industry - still photography prints with real depth!

Mark is now the only one to provide all services in house which include capture, post production and printing.

The culmination of still and moving picture experience with a command of the technology means that Mark is 'force to be reckoned with'!
