“Mark, you rock, an inspiration to the rest of us shooters”

Read an article on me by Chris Saint James HERE

"I'm honoured but not surprised given the lack of  subjugation and the presence of respect you afford all your models, however  Mark, any and everything I say is nothing more than a transcript of  impressions. The words you refer to are merely extracted from your work. You  could say you wrote them with your camera and your heart. Thanks must  therefore go to yourself."

“You were one of a few that made me think, hey actually this might be interesting.”

"After a thorough search on the internet, and several  enquiries, I decided to entrust Mark Varley to do my first ever fetish photo  shoot. Blessed as I am with knowledge of my general superiority to others, I  am however aware of my physical imperfections and was slightly nervous  beforehand. I had no need for worry - Mark made me instantly comfortable,  and led me effortlessly through the process. When I then got the pictures,  only a few days later, my happiness was complete. Absolutely stunning  results, lovingly processed. Best thing I ever did."

“I have looked at many many examples of bondage photography, particularly rope bondage, and it’s a continuous theme that the photography is all about the rope. This is where Mark differs fundamentally, the photography is about the person, the rope and the setting, beautiful as they are, come second.”

“Captivating and eye-catching images every time, somehow a clearly recognisable style yet always something different.”

“I knew that paying for a professional would be worth it but this is over and above, a true artist, thank you.”

“Nudes without the sleaze, fetish without the sleaze, even erotica without the sleaze, an artist all the way.”

“Before I saw the work of MV I was of the belief that bondage was something kept as a dark secret behind closed doors, MV has proved to many that bondage is an art form in its own right and requires a lot of skill and imagination.
But if you’re a prude you may not appreciate the work of the original rope dude!”
