Turning Words into Impact: Storytelling That Moves People
Spending a morning on London’s Southbank with Mark Leruste was exactly what you’d expect from a man who lives and breathes energy, storytelling, and purpose. Mark came to me in search of new, natural photographs for his speaker brand assets—images that felt aligned with who he really is: grounded, dynamic, and human. We explored the Southbank, making use of its variety and texture to reflect both the strength and approachability that define his work.
Mark’s mission is all about helping people reconnect with their voice and purpose. Whether he’s speaking to a packed auditorium or mentoring changemakers behind the scenes, Mark brings clarity, heart, and humour to every room. His background spans everything from leadership at Movember to launching the The Unconventionalists® – a podcast and movement dedicated to making meaningful work mainstream.
As Mark puts it:
“The world needs more people who are willing to show up as themselves.”
And that’s exactly what this shoot was about: capturing Mark, fully himself—expressive, present, and powerful.
