One of the most rewarding benefits of being a garden photographer is seeing my work used in print and digital media to help promote this wonderful industry.
The following are a few of the many ways my images have been used across multiple media to help promote both the RHS Shows themselves and all the hardworking designers, landscapers and exhibitors.
Professional photography helps to elevate your reach to a wider audience than just the show visitors, through social media, website blogs and traditional press.

Book Cover Image
Where better to start than an image that I captured of Manoj Malde’s RHS Eastern Eye Garden of Unity Garden. Not only was this a stunning garden it was also the venue for his wedding day on Press Day at RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
While everyone was grabbing pictures of the happy couple I managed to capture this image of the garden before all the celebrations began.
The image was selected by Manoj to perfectly represent his style of garden design for his new book ‘Your Outdoor Room’.
“Mark is an incredible photographer with a great eye. He photographed my garden at the Chelsea Flower Show. Some of Mark's images of the garden were in the selection process for the cover image for my book YOUR OUTDOOR ROOM. One of the images that Mark had captured was chosen as the winning shot. He had captured not only what the book is about but also my handwriting as the designer.”

BBC TV Feature
This image and others captured at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2023 were used to provide a back story for Ian Gill Sculpture on the BBC 1 TV programme ‘Make it at Market’ where Ian was one of the mentors working along side Dom Chinea.
Thankfully Ian invested in professional photography of his show stand and was able to supply high resolution images to be used on the TV show. This helped to promote both himself and the RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
“Mark has been photographing my work for the past 5 years, at Chelsea Flower Show, as well as other locations. He captures it just perfectly every time and a great chap to work with.”
- Ian Gill
Wild City Garden
I was delighted with the extensive coverage the images I captured of The Balance Garden designed by Wild City Studios at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. Jon & Steve designed a garden for the Urban environment and it was very popular with both the public and the press. The images captured were used in many features with the most recent in the latest edition of Bloom magazine. This really demonstrates the importance and the longevity of use profesionally captured images can have.
“Great experience from start to finish and some beautiful shots that really represented the look and feel of the garden perfectly”

Images of the gardens I have photographed at the various RHS Shows have been used by designers in a range of media from web features to digital news articles, social media posts and by product manufacturers in brochures. The following are just a few of the many uses my professional photography has been used.
Social media is a huge consumer of images I supply to clients. Its always nice when the RHS share one of my images. This one is of a beautiful garden designed by Viriditas Studio at RHS Hampton Court Flower Festival.
“Mark took such beautiful photos of our Hampton Court Garden, we were over the moon! Thank you again from all at Viriditas Studio.”

Jamie Langlands managed to win an RHS Gold Medal, Best in Show, Best Construction and The Peoples Choice and I was delighted to capture some wonderful images of his garden to show to the wider world exactly why he got a clean sweep of medals.
Indian Ocean trade stand enlisted the design skills of Max Parker-Smith a former Young Designer of the Year to plant and design their trade stand at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
The wonderful show gardens that we see at all the RHS Shows can only be made possible with the generous support of many of the trade product suppliers providing their products to be used in the final designs. The following are a few example of these and where my images have been used.
