Mark One Photographs Kathrine Sayles @ Richmond Park
18th December 2010
Mark One had the pleasure of photographing the phenomenal Opera singer: Katherine Sayles on a cold winter’s morning in Richmond Park London, UK. The concept of the shoot was to set the stunning Katherine against the leafy greens, rustic browns and bleaching winter’s sun, which would in turn reflect the natural beauty of her voice against the natural beauty of nature.
"Photographing Katherine was an enjoyable experience. She is an attractive woman, a perfectionist, easy to work with and has a great sense of humour, which you have to have if you are wearing high heels in the mud! Photography is a growing passion of mine and something I will be doing more of in the future,” said Mark One.

After Effects & I Am Who? Private Screening @ Soho Hotel, Soho, London, UK
26th November 2010
On a cold evening night in the UK, London, West End, Soho the private premiere of After Effects and I AM WHO? took place. The premiere was organised by Mark One Group and from the out set was an over whelming success. The beautiful Soho Hotel venue in the heart of the West End, 100 seat screening room was initially booked for an hour to screen the films. It soon became apparent that the hour was not enough and an extra two hours would be needed to accommodate 300 plus people that wanted to come out and see the films.
The Robert Levy Foundation and Tom Easton Flavasum Trust attended the event, which was an honour to have them with Mark One Group on the night. Without their support After Effects would not have been possible. Young Jahnoi Cranston and his family were also in attendance to see for the first time I AM WHO? The event was an over whelming experience for the Cranston family, to see young Jahnoi’s poem brought to life, in such a cinematic way on the big screen in the West End was beyond all expectations.
"The event was an over whelming success way beyond my comprehension. Everyone enjoyed the location took onboard the serous message behind After Effects and was inspired by I AM WHO?. As a film maker people wanting to come out and see your work is all you want to be over subscribe is a fantastic problem to have" said the director Mark One.
