Thanks for these! They are precious. - Kady
Ivan & The Dogs

I am a photographer and videographer specialising in highlighting the community service stories of international and independent schools, as well as education-based NGOs. I’ve worked with schools across south, central and south-east Asia. I like to create social media content and communications strategies in both photography and video.

NGOs need our help. Many of us are fortunate. We have journeyed to where we are today on a path that is generally healthy, safe and well educated. This places us in a unique position. If we collaborate we can make positive, sustainable change. Through compelling photography and short, issue or character focused films, we can highlight the human stories and show the world why this matters. Strong imagery lingers in the mind and affects change. If you are working in the humanitarian and non-profit sphere, and have a story that needs telling, Mark would like to hear from you. 

Schools Are The Hub. Families are our joy, a matrix that binds us to more than ourselves, a rescue ship in a storm, and the light that shines brightest in our eyes. Yes, families are imperfect, but they are our roots, and they exist on many levels, across generations. But they grow so quickly! What moment in their current lives would you most like to keep forever? Do you need to catch them one last time before they fly the nest? Time passes too quickly, doesn't it? We will have a fun, relaxed session in a documentary style that captures those little moments we cherish so much. Let's talk!

Corporate responsibility matters is of course a classic tune and a great way for us to describe high school portraiture. Is your high schooler preparing to fly the nest? It is the end of an era. To all juniors & seniors, I ask you, what's your special? Is it moody & broody, just staring straight down the barrel, or athletic, performances, dynamic? These last few years of high school are also one of the most insane, intense, creative, collaborative era's of our lives, and anything is possible. This time next year you'll be on another continent, and you want to be saying, "that was the time of my life."

Films tell the longer story. Whereas photos capture a moment to study, to ponder, films take you on a journey. Films that tell your story can be very powerful tools that move people to act, to understand, to collaborate. They are also amazing records of milestones, important events and histories. Take a look.

Thanks so much Mark! We love them. Thanks for making it so easy for us. - Charlyn
