Born in the UK, Mark immigrated to Canada with his family in 1991 primarily for the greater opportunities Canada provides for his family and his love of outdoor pursuits.  As a keen outdoorsman and having always had an interest in photography, for which he is self taught, Mark recently rekindled his passion for photography during his primary outdoor activity as a licensed falconer and the desire to capture some of the sights and scenes of the natural dramas he witnesses each day.

Although always having been a hunter and conservationist, in recent years Mark has taken to carrying his camera instead of his bow or rifle into the field. However Mark takes a holistic approach to photography and recognizes the fine balance between wanting to get that perfect image and  his sincere desire to not impact negatively upon the subject he is attempting to capture.

Mark’s work has been published in several books and countless magazine articles, including Alberta Bird Atlas, American Falconry Magazine, International Falconer Magazine, North American Falconry Association, Y2K Falconry by Pete Smith, Sky Hunters by Hossein Amirsadeghi, Dessert Hawking IV by Harry McElroy, Falconry - Celebrating a Living Heritage, by Dr. Javier Ceballos Aranda and “La Chasse à Vol” by Patrick Morel.

More recently Mark was has started to enter his work in various competitions. In 2010 he was one of the finalists of Canadian National Geographic, Wildlife Photographer of the Year where Mark was awarded an Honourable Mention for his entry of sharptail grouse fighting on the breeding lek. In 2011 he won a trip to Abu Dhabi for an image of wild snowy owl in flight.
