"Marcus gave very strong performances in multiple roles for our podcast, playing a police officer and a soldier in the story 'Lost Property', creating distinct voices for both characters, as well as playing various computer voices for our episode 'Stop the Clock', capturing the intonation and rhythm of speech of a sci-fi computer perfectly. He was a pleasure to work with, being communicative and sending crisp sounding recordings to us efficiently."
Andrew Davis, Head Writer, Twelfth Doctor Adventures (Doctor Who fan audio)
It was fun to work with this legend. Very inventive as well with fresh ideas pulled out of the hat to portray the desired character he chose to perform - Mark Davidson

Marcus is one of the loveliest guys I have worked with. I have had the pleasure of working with him many times over the years. He is reliable, very experienced, totally professional and great fun on set. Marcus can model and act with ease and is able to become any character needed, he has played Cleopatra’s evil brother for me, a stoned hippy and even the lead part as Jack the Ripper and loads more. I cannot recommend Marcus enough. - Gino Cinganelli

I've worked with Marcus more than any other male model full stop. His ability to switch from Dickensian curmudgeon to Lord of the Manor, to freaky horror character to Woodstock hippy in seconds makes Marcus one of the most accomplished character models with whom I have ever worked. Disarmingly off-the-wall in everything he achieves, this final opportunity at my last group shoot was no different. My abiding memory will be the smile that can become something so different in a flash, the momentary gesture that changes the whole feel of him as a subject, I will treasure for as long as I live. Thank you Marcus. Wishing you the very best for the future. Highly recommended. - Barney Douglas

I met Marcus a few days ago when Leah Meraki introduced me to him. The occasion was a M/F duo shoot at my studio. We started off shooting a Marrakech sidewalk cafe, where our Arabian Prince enjoyed the exceptional charms of a local courtesan, a belly dancer and was given an an insight to the 'dance of the seven veils'. From there things progressed to the sharing of a Shish-a pipe and onward to the fireside cushions of a Bedouin tent. Marcus is an apt summary of this exceptional model. He is dark, good looking and just a little mysterious. However, what stands out most about this man is that he can act ! Facial expressions to suit the setting and mood of a particular shot comes naturally to him. And they look totally authentic. Witness his eyes as he smokes that Shish-a pipe ! Most importantly, Marcus gives the shoot his very best - from arriving with suitcases of outfits and props to a considered shot by shot execution. Marcus is the sort of male model I really like and appreciate - he treats his female counterpart with respect and does his very best to show her off in the best light. Of course I will work with Marcus again. I unreservedly commend him both to fellow photographers as well as to female models who may be looking for a male counterpart for duo shooting. - Shaun Solent

I'm starting to lose track of the number of times I have worked with Marcus on a range of commercial and charity event shoots. Marcus is, in my opinion, one of the most accomplished male character models and actors here, capable of turning his hand from lord of the manor, to Dickensian curmudgeon, to Woodstock hippie, to, in this case characters from Simon & Garfunkel lyrics in just minutes. Just outstanding! I am forever in awe at his ability. Totally and utterly 100% recommended. - Barney Douglas

Marcus is a true professional, focused 100% on the job at hand at all times and radiates confidence. Well prepared for the shoot in regards to change of clothing and bringing the right make-up for the theme, lastly, he's eager to try out all sorts of spontaneous styles which my brains manages to think of. He's very friendly and polite to talk to and so patience. I highly recommend Marcus for your shoot as he will be a truly polite professional throughout. - Connor Murphy Photography

Very much enjoyed the shoot with you. You deserved your round of applause at the end. I’ve never seen that before with any of the models our group have shot. You certainly made an impact!
Marcus - you were a MASSIVE hit! People keep telling me how good you were and how they enjoyed you very much :) I'm gutted I missed the evening! - Iain Morrision

Marcus was modelling at a themed event which I attended, and I knew instantly to shoot with him on a one-to-one basis later in the day. He's one of those models that you can rely on to deliver great shots whether he is directed or whether you just point a camera at him and let him 'do his thing'. Whether it's solo, duo or group shots Marcus always delivers and fits right in to the theme … apparently effortlessly (but then the mark of genius is making the difficult things look easy !). Great model, great bloke - easy to shoot and always delivers. Highly recommended. Alex Newby

Marcus and I had worked on one of my photography projects and I was extremely impressed by his dedication and professionalism. He is a really fantastic model with plenty of original ideas. He is very natural and relaxed in a front of the camera and every single shot is simply brilliant. If you are looking for a model who treats seriously his job and you want to make sure that you get awesome photographs, then I can strongly recommend Marcus. I hope to work with him again in the future. Aleksandra Ka

Worked with Marcus again the other day on a group shoot that Gino Cinganelli organised and he was just his usual fab self, using his acting skills to his advantage to be able to pull of scenes throughout the day just off the top of his head. It's honestly always such a fantastic experience to work alongside Marcus, his attitude and charisma are just second to none and he's genuinely one of my best friends I have met through this industry! He's taught me so much, been there for me through every step of the way including the ups and downs of my own modelling career and it's just so easy to work with him! There's not really much more I can say about Marcus other than if you haven't worked with him already then you must be mad - book a shoot with him!! Looking forward to working together again soon! ♥ xx

Marcus is so versatile as he can go from a dark villain to a sophisticated groom as well as anything in between of course! He's such a lovely, kind hearted person that really puts his all into his work and therefore he's always such a pleasure to work alongside. I have genuinely lost count of how many times we have worked together he's that fab!!

I had the great privilege to shoot with this amazing professional Marcus Massey (IG @themarcusmassey ) mid august at Leak St, London. A true professional at his craft. He allowed me to focus on capturing the best photos I possible could! I highly recommend working with him if you have a chance! - Conor Murphy

Absolutely brilliant! There’s one bit where you say ‘no, no, not now’ and its loaded with such heavy meaning, its really rather beautiful. Thank you so much for nailing this. - Kerrie Fuller
