I had my first shoot with Mark on a bright beautiful day by the sea.

Mark was very attentive, provided great direction and structured the shoot really well with a great variety of sets that we covered within our half day together - from his studio to the beach followed by a wonderful woodland setting.

He has already very kindly shared some edits with me and he has captured some lovely images.

I'd recommend him to other creatives and I look forward to working with him again in the future.

Thanks for a fantastic day Mark :)

I had the pleasure to work with the wonderful Mark for the second time.

We teamed up with talented MUA Anna Palmer to create three different looks, experimenting with strong beautiful colours for the final avant-garde look.

The results were absolutely stunning and

I’m really pleased with the images Mark captured.

Mark is professional and really considerate, working with him is an absolute pleasure. He’s got some amazing ideas, makes you feel valued and there’s never a dull moment!

Mark, thank you for a fabulous shoot! You’re of course highly recommended to any models and creatives!

Worked with Mr Brighteyed the day before my birthday at a penthouse I hired.

I met him a few times at the Bristol socials & he is an absolute delight.

Mark brought a long a lot of his own items, had an idea of what he would like to achieve but was also happy with my input.

I enjoyed our shoot very much and would highly recommend.

Hope to shoot with him again soon.

I met and worked with Mark while on my model weekend at Sandon studios.

Mark is easy going, creative and enthusiastic. Mark has lots of ideas and is keen to try different angels/ lighting to make for creative and interesting shots.

Mark is good company and a very easy person to get a long with, the 1hr shoot just flew by however we managed to get lots done in that time. I hope to work with mark again on future shoots.

Thanks for a great shoot Mark.

Had another fantastic shoot at our home with Mark and Electric Nymph.

He is so easy to work with, the conversation flowed naturally and the time sadly flew by.

He is incredibly creative, enthusiastic and arrives with a well of ideas to draw from. We had a fantastic time playing with different poses and Mark brought a selection of different materials and lights to use.

I would not hesitate to recommend Mark and look forward to shooting with him again.

Another great shoot with Mark. We tried some interesting and unusual ideas and Mark bought along a selection of props and quirky backgrounds with him. Very good photographer to work with, have already booked in our third shoot!

Had lots of fun shooting with Mark again today! I always get nervous but Mark soon makes me feel much more comfortable and I ended up with some lovely natural shots! If you haven't booked Mark, then contact him to do so!! Hes very professional, friendly and has great communication skills. But also a good sense of humour to ease nerves. I'm really looking forward to shooting again.

Thanks Mark :) x

Organised my first ever shoot with Mark. I was nervous but he was welcoming on arrival and made me feel relaxed about the shoot.

With no experience Mark guided me through the shoot which was great! We captured a variety of shots and Mark has a great eye for ideas and what works.

I'm very happy with the result of the shoot and highly recommend him for any shoot you have in mind.

Hope to work with Mark again in the future.

Thank you 😊 x

I had my first shoot yesterday with Mark of Brighteyed photography, in his well equipped photo studio in Weston Super Mare. Right from our arrival Mark made both myself and my husband very welcome. Our shoot was fashion to Art Nude, and throughout the shoot, which was unhurried, relaxed, and comfortable atmosphere, Mark gave me very clear direction, so as to achieve the images that he was aiming for. Mark experimented with various colour gels, and we achieved some really fantastic images.After our 2-3 hour shoot we sat down with a cup of tea, and perused the images from the shoot.During the shoot Mark gave me some very constructive advice regarding my posing, which I gladly took on board. I can without any hesitation recommend Mark to any model,if the opportunity ever arises to shoot with Mark, then you will not be disappointed with the end result.

A bit of a thank you to Mark for the use of Brighteyed studios the other day. It was a delight to be hosted by him for my team of models and MUA making it easy for us all to get together for some shooting creativity.

It was great to see his setup and to learn a few new things as we went. I do believe that i became a model for him so hoping that I didn't break the camera ;) Many thanks to our genial host and look forward to making a return visit soon.

Had a fantastic shoot yesterday with fellow Midlander Mark at his lovely home in Somerset.

We had discussed pre shoot the type of images we wanted to achieve and everything was set up and waiting .

After coffee and a natter (of which there was lots of natter and banter through out the shoot :-) ), we got into shooting mode and produce some amazing images.

Mark kindly let me view the images at the end of the shoot over tea and another chatter and I love the images we have got.

Mark is really easy to get on with, polite , professional and has a wicked sense of humour .

Thank you for a great shoot and hope we can work together again in the not too distant future .

Had my first shoot with Mark at the weekend. I was down Weston super Mare to work with Mark at his lovely home studio. He booked a couple of hours and had some great ideas We produced a few sets so I’m looking forward to seeing more of the image’s, I’ve seen a couple already (love the one’s using the powder - something I’ve never done before). It was a pleasure, and I hope to have the chance to do another shoot at some point.

I highly recommend Mark to all models.

Until the next time,

Had a shoot today with Mark, alongside another model, JackPowell-modelling.

The shoot was a wedding lingerie shoot and was a very professional relaxed atmosphere. The shoot was fun and full of creative original ideas. Highly recommended!

Today's shoot was the first of two - hopefully more - shoots with Mark.

His pre-shoot communication is brilliant and makes you really feel comfortable with him before getting in front of the camera. He turned up right on time and it was so nice of him to have organised such a brilliant model (Sophs) and fantastic MUA (Anna) to get involved with the project. It showed his professionalism and skills as a photographer when seeing who he can work with and who he can bring to the table.

It was clear from the beginning that we would get on, with his warm and fun attitude that enabled the both of us (the models) to get on with each other without pressure and take some fantastic shots. He made us both feel very much a part of the whole process, with us being able to see the shots and decided if the angles/looks were right for what we wanted out of it too. He added some amazing insights/directions into how we could both make the shots look great and you could tell it was going well as the groupings of shots went so fast and then it was onto the next.

Mark's skills are clear, but also his ability to try out new looks with complete competence and skills showed he knew exactly what he was doing to make the shoot run smooth and fun of fun. It was great that he offered the chance for me to have a few added extra shots for my personal portfolio and the chance to edit some myself too - made a big difference in being able to do this as a model that is just starting out.

I really look forward to working with him again with another model and hopefully Sophs again, to make the project really shine, but also to develop my portfolio with a very professional and competent photographer.

Sophs

Again mark and I got our heads together for our 3rd shoot!

Mark arrived early and was eager to get going, we have such a rapport now that I am always willing to work with him!

Mark knows exactly what he's after and will grab it with both hands!

He allowed me to view the pictures to show progress and if there were any tweaks! And this instantly helps to ensure you get the image you want!

His professionalism shone through, throughout the shoot and once again I would highly recommend this photographer!

Thanks mark!
