Seven ways to work together

01

Portraits

Individual, couple, and family portraits outdoors — golden-hour sessions on the lake, in the woods, or wherever the North shows off. Natural light blended with off-camera flash for a look that's polished, never stiff.

02

Senior Portraits

Senior year deserves better than a gym backdrop. Relaxed outdoor sessions built around who they actually are — sports, hobbies, favorite places — with images families keep for decades.

03

Real Estate Photography

Listings that stop the scroll. Bright, wide, honest interiors and exteriors for realtors, sellers, and rental owners across the Lakes Region — shot to make buyers book the showing.

04

Automotive Photography

Your car, shot like it deserves. Detail, stance, and light — for sales listings, shows, or the garage wall. Classics, customs, and daily drivers with stories.

05

Motorcycle Photography

Laconia is bike country — this is home turf. Rider portraits and machine studies with grit and atmosphere, from Bike Week energy to a quiet shoot with the bike you built.

06

Photo Editing & Retouching

Professional color grading, retouching, and restoration polish. Send your shots — or book a session and get the full cinematic grade included in your gallery.

07

Pet Photography

Portraits of the dog who's really in charge. Relaxed, patient sessions that let their personality run the shoot — solo portraits or with their favorite person.

Behind the Camera

Mark Chertok · Photographer

Mark Chertok and his son in matching vintage outfits with their French bulldog, a vintage propeller plane behind them

King of the North Photography is Mark Chertok — an outdoor and portrait photographer based in New Hampshire's Lakes Region. The work lives outside: lake shores, mountain light, small-town main streets, and the people and machines that belong to them.

The style is cinematic but honest — natural light first, off-camera flash when it earns its place, and color graded by hand on every delivered image. No over-filtered trends, no assembly-line edits.

Formerly known as Mac One Studio, the studio carries a perfect 5.0-star record on Google into its new name — same photographer, same lakes, bigger crown.
