Mark and I did a shoot at Charborough Studios recently as part of his recording/video/photography package.
He's usually a very animated type of person, but I managed to capture what I think is the real Mark, in quiet contemplation with his 'small axe'
We did many shots of him pulling different facial expressions against a white background for a CD cover idea showing different emotions.
As for the technical side, I lit a white backdrop to slightly overexpose then lit mark with a smallish softbox and another light from back camera left (see highlight on hat and left arm). I also had a large silver reflector by his feet to reflect some light back up to lighten the shadows under Marks' chin
