Client Focus : Atkins Photo Lab

What I’ve done with them:

  • product stills on film

  • behind the scenes and marketing video work on location

  • out location shoots with models

  • detailed product spec shots

  • staff portraits

Atkins and I have been making magic for over 7 years. They are Australia’s oldest photographic lab and work primarily with professional photographers and artists.

They have a very tight brand and my photography must reflect that at all times. Working closely with them we have built this brand from mostly obscure to world wide.

“Working with Mark is always a relief. Because I know he knows what I want. I don’t have to give a thousand word brief, I just know he is going to get it, every time. It’s also a kind of magic because while I can be a control freak, his vision and aesthetic is always there in the background. I can’t get that from anyone else.”
