Photography projects by Mark Winwood
-
BBC/ The High Street
“I’ve worked with Mark on many assignments over the years and he always delivers excellent results. Quercus commissioned Mark to shoot stills for BBC Series HIGH STREET – he had to deal with five TV crews simultaneously, each day, covering several shops with different lighting levels indoors and out. And this over several days each week for six very busy weeks. All this while keeping a low profile as filming progressed. Needless to say, he delivered excellent photos and got on really well with the producers, film crews and the actors. Great work Mark!” -
Which? Gardening
Mark has worked for Which? Gardening for the past fourteen years, under three publishers and five art directors. Noted mainly for his work on the ‘Action Now’ series, he is a regular contributor to the magazine. His work features of range of areas: from people and their gardens, step-by-step, plant portraits and product shots. One of his most successful series he did for Which? Gardening was a year long study of a young family and their allotment plot. -
RHS A–Z of Plants
“To each project he does for us, Mark always brings tremendous passion and energy. A mammoth project such as the RHS A–Z of Garden Plants requires an immense amount of organisational skill to plan and shoot the 5,000 images at their optimum time. The 120 days commission was shot over a period of 18 months. Mark took some wonderful images for this title and was always enthused and dedicated to this project. It was a joy to work with him and his lovely images looked fabulous in the book!” -
Lockdown, design
“Mark helped us through the process of re-branding and redesigning our company logo and also the look/feel of our marketing and print advertising materials. He was very quick to come up with some excellent options, very reactive to our requests for any adjustments and most importantly he really tuned in to what we needed as film/TV special effects company – he really understood where we were coming from. The end result is a totally refreshed and rejuvenated logo which along with the new advertising has impressed and delighted clients and company directors alike” -
Flowers in Rye
Here are a range of Christmas wreaths designed by the wonderfully talented Alex Ball. Alex dries all her own plants, and uses locally sourced lichen, pheasant feathers, and a manner of materials found in hedgerows and grown in her extensive garden that overlooks the Tillingham River, in East Sussex. Alex’s wedding bouquets and wedding arrangements are her main creative work but these dried flower arrangements are noteworthy in their own right. -
Women’s Institute
Mark’s sourced an impressive location in Spain for this shoot, found the models, took care of the art direction and was always affable with good humour. I trusted him to look after all contributors, including the author, for the duration of the project. The shoot was a success; delivered on time, on budget and with great results. -
Lockdown, photography
In Lockdown and in the coming months after it we (as a family) had never been so busy: I was giving free yoga classes for workers at The Samaritans via Zoom and designing logos for US clients during the evenings. The days were taken up with a massive photography project for the RHS at home and with it a collection of smaller projects – some of which have been included here. One of those projects was for Selfridges US at the UK flagship store in Oxford Street. Taking shots within the Government guidelines could be tricky at times but smoke and mirrors made it look as though everything was normal and as it should be. -
Recent books, photography
“Mark has taken photographs for many of our lifestyle books over the years. He is talented, hardworking, great to work with, and takes gorgeous pictures. Even on days in the garden where we had wind and rain, he somehow manages to make all the pictures look sunny. Brilliant!” -
Gardenista
“Mark wanted to make this series of photographs very delicate and all with the same dying light at the end of the day. To capture the final moments of light throughout the photographs in this article, the 20 shots were carefully flagged and set up in advance with all photographs being shot within the 15 minute window, with the final shot – of the field in front of the house – was done moments before the sun disappeared behind the trees.“ -
RHS Encyclopedia of Gardening
Most of the photographs shot for this project were done either at RHS Wisley or Mark’s 1.5 acre garden in Kent during and after the lockdown in 2020. This is the fifth time that a DK book has been used as a major location, and it has been a location for many articles and books over the past 20 years. Shot during Covid, the RHS Encyclopaedia of Gardening is the sister book with Dorling Kindersley’s publication, The RHS A-Z of Plants which Mark shot several years before. -
Magazine articles
In a world that is constantly demanding something new, Mark has successfully worked for a variety of magazines over the past sixteen years. For the excellent, and sadly short lived magazine Garden Life, he was commissioned for the pilot issue and went on to be commissioned every single month for the magazine over its two year lifespan. Other clients have included Gardens Illustrated, BBC Gardener’s World, Sainsbury’s Magazine, Gardens Monthly, Beautiful Britain, and The National Trust Magazine. Mark was also a regular for the cover story for the weekend Telegraph Gardening section over a two or three year period. -
Anness Publishing
“Mark is an outstanding garden and lifestyle photographer and a magnificent problem solver. He also made everything feel so easy and possible. In the time I worked with him, he found me pigs, goats, lamas, 90-year-old models, a chicken author and a wonderful array of gardens – and made the whole thing marvellously fun.” -
Josephine Ho Textiles
“Mark is an intuitive, creative and patient person to work with. He was able to understand my needs, gently suggest directions to move towards and create a website that, I felt, very much suited my particular needs. For someone who is non-techno – though I know what I like – I was never made to feel inadequate. The result is a website that is simple, clear and beautifully designed. He has captured the very essence of my work and it has gone done very well with my clients.”
