My 2nd shoot with Marcus in 2 weeks.

Marcus was invited to my first group shoot, he and a couple of others were asked to turn up at a location they had no idea what I had in store for them.

Marcus as always got straight into character his outstanding acting abilities to be come anyone.

Today he was a prisoner on a chain gang

Thank you Marcus, again brilliant

I worked again with Marcus yesterday on a terrific group shoot recreating the era of the chain gangs in the 1930s. Marcus was, as always, perfectly in character for the part and played it with his usual skill. His dark looks make him a wonderful villain! He is a joy to work with and a lot of fun too! Can't wait till we shoot again. I need to think up some suitably "dark" projects! Marcus comes 100% recommended!

I just love working with Marcus, I was so pleased he applied for my casting call.

Marcus arrived in good time with an array of outfits. He was ready to shoot and we got straight onto it.

Marcus is a brilliant model and oozes experience and charisma

He is a lovely guy and a friend

I am always happy to work with him, and I know anyone who gets the chance to work with him will do to.

Thank you Marcus for a great shoot. See you next week for the next one

Marcus is an amazing guy. His ability to act and model is unlimited, he is a valued member of our team and one of our must have models on our shoots. He has been part of many crazy shoots and hope he will be in the future

Today was a socially distanced shoot at a Western town and Marcus was there with his usual large selection of costumes. Marcus is a fantastic actor as well as model so when we have to react with each other to create a scene for the photographers he just throws his self into the character. He is so easy to get along with but also so professional.

Highly recommended.

Working with Marcus is always a pleasure and today was no exception. We shot at a group shoot, organised by Gino Cinganelli, with social distancing and Covid rules adhered to, at a fully authentic Wild West town. As always, Marcus brings something special to a shoot. Charisma, acting skills and professionalism as well as a sense of fun. Thanks again for a great shoot Marcus.

Today I worked on a truly wonderful, socially distanced shoot with Marcus who was decked out as a mean-looking Cowboy. We shot in the most stunning location - a film set reproducing a Western Town from the American 1800s. We had simply the most fun I have had in a long time. Marcus looked fabulous and threw himself into the part. He has a unique look and has a big sense of fun too! I totally recommend him and if you get a chance to work with him - you must!

Marcus is so versatile as he can go from a dark villain to a sophisticated groom as well as anything in between of course! He's such a lovely, kind hearted person that really puts his all into his work and therefore he's always such a pleasure to work alongside. I have genuinely lost count of how many times we have worked together he's that fab!! :D

Until next time, and thanks for being a great groom! ♥

I had a fantastic shoot with Marcus on the weekend. The communication beforehand was great and he was on time.

He brought several variations of an outfit and made suggestions on how they can be used. He understood my directions and would immediately go into the perfect pose that I had in my head making the shoot so easy and uncomplicated.

Even though the shoot overran he wasn't in a hurry to get off and just wanted to get the best images possible.

I would 100% recommend him.

I had the great pleasure of working with Marcus recently where he again proved that he is both a highly versatile model and actor.

He can snap back and forth into different personas and costumes easily and confidently - from an erudite dapper country gentleman, through to sharp hipster, to dark Gothic, to somebody very scary indeed (check out the images of Marcus with Jessica Knight that I will soon be putting up)

He excelled in solo sets and also in duos with four different female models, where he is always careful to harmonise, never to overshadow; he quickly earned the trust of his fellow models that shines out in the excellent resultant images.

Marcus takes direction well, can work to a story line or flow pose as required and is excellent company - I always enjoy the intelligent lively conversations we have over a coffee. I can thus very highly recommend him to photographers and models of all experience levels.

It was wonderful to welcome Marcus to the studio to work with hambers, the studio photographer. Not only is Dark Horse a professional model, who takes directions wonderfully, he is friendly and professional and as a voiceover artist also has a wonderful voice which is now a permanent feature as a welcome announcement at the studio. I can highly recommend Marcus as a great model and we cant wait to shoot with him again.

Dark Horse personifies versatility. He's great to work with, super professional and brings a great energy to any session he's involved in. Marcus is full of ideas and great to collaborate with. He's also quite the raconteur in between set ups and lightens the mood. His acting abilities really bring his shots to life and make directing him an absolute pleasure. I'd highly recommend working with Marcus!!

I'm starting to lose track of the number of times I have worked with Marcus on a range of commercial and charity event shoots.

Marcus is, in my opinion, one of the most accomplished male character models and actors on this site, capable of turning his hand from lord of the manor, to Dickensian curmudgeon, to Woodstock hippie, to, in this case characters from Simon & Garfunkel lyrics in just minutes.

Just outstanding! I am forever in awe at his ability.

Totally and utterly 100% recommended.

I have the pleasure of working with Marcus in the Charity Arun CIC Exact group shoot last Sunday. This was my second photoshoot with Marcus.

There are not enough positive words to describe his work. Enthusiasm, creativity, name it. A true professional in all sense. Highly recommended.

Thank you.

Connor Murphy Photography

Marcus is a true professional, focused 100% on the job at hand at all times and radiates confidence. Well prepared for the shoot in regards to change of clothing and bringing the right make-up for the theme, lastly, he's eager to try out all sorts of spontaneous styles which my brains manages to think of.

He's very friendly and polite to talk to and so patience.

I highly recommend Marcus for your shoot as he will be a truly polite professional throughout.

Dark Horse is a pleasure to work with. Totally professional and amazing at so many different characterisations. I have learned a lot just by watching him.

This was my second time working with Marcus on a brilliant group shoot organized by Gino Cinganelli. Marcus is not only a great and very versatile actor and model but also such a blast to work with - creative, motivated, helpful, fun, well prepared and extremely reliable. I'm sure it won't be the last time Marcus and I stand in front of a camera together and am already looking forward to future projects!

Bob The Plumber

I don't know what l can say about Marcus that hasn't been said already. He is a first rate actor who plays every part with such enthusiasam, he is friendly and also encourages others. I always look forward to working with Marcus and hope to do so in the not to distant future.
