About Mark
Hi, I’m Mark!
I am an award-winning Director of Photography & Camera Op that is happy to offer my 20+ years industry experience in helping you tell your story.
I light and shot for Fortune 500s, national broadcasters, small businesses, and non-profits, including: Norfolk Southern, Proctor & Gamble, Netflix, HGTV, Discovery, etc.
I bring to every production, a creative eye, attention to detail, and a desire to exceed your expectations. I can use available lighting to create beautiful images and/or I can place my own lights to also create beautiful images. I can enter a space and quickly decide the spots to shoot that will look the best on camera, as well as getting multiple “looks” from one space.
I specialize in shooting corporate, broadcast TV, reality, and documentaries.
I own professional equipment, including (2) Sony Cinema camera packages, assorted LED battery-powered lighting, soft boxes, gimbal, jib, grip and audio.
Depending on the scope of the project, I can be proficient as a one-man-band, but also work regularly with other industry professionals and can help assemble additional crew as needed.
I direct people regularly that aren’t experienced in front of the camera and am able to coach them to achieve the best possible results.
I have lit and shot hundreds of attractive interviews and hours of quality, dynamic b-roll. I know how to shoot sequences and what visual elements are needed to tell a story. I work all of North Carolina, and into Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.
“Mark is a pleasure to work with. He is very creative, collaborative and has an excellent visual sense. He always goes above and beyond to get you what you need to make your production a success. I would recommend Mark for your next project.” – Larry Marvar, Producer, Director, Owner Marvar Media.
I look forward to learning more about your production.
