Mark is a photographer based near London, UK. His work is largely focussed on stories about the environment and sustainability.      
Recent projects explore the climate crisis and the importance of repair and reuse, as a response to waste and to creating a more sustainable future. As part of the repair project he ran a campaign to inform councils and local authorities on the importance of repair.

He is currently working on a long-term project to explore Europe’s enclaves, as examples of people working together to find solutions. 

He originally studied engineering, has a PhD researching innovation and social ecosystems, developing multi-perspective approaches to understanding emerging and complex systems. That research now informs his  photography projects. 
His work has been published online and in print in various major newspapers and magazines, and at festivals and exhibitions in UK, Italy, Netherlands and USA.
