I always have a lot of fun shooting with this photographer.

A well prepared shoot with good lighting and a great camera.

Lots of cool ideas and can direct a shoot without being bossy.

He is very laid back and has a laugh.

I am looking forward to seeing the images.

I fully recommend shooting with BrightEyed.

Many thanks.

This was my first shoot with Mark since probably the lock down period. We'd got on previously really well so it was great to see mark on a personal level as well as create some awesome images with him. Pre communication was simple. Conversation flowed as expected. Lovely to see him and catch up. Look forward to seeing the final images.

I shout with “Brighteyed” yesterday at F8 Studio. From start to finish (even prior to the shoot) he had great, clear communication. He is very friendly and professional.

I felt that I walked away from the shoot having learnt new skills, using rope and fabric, something I hadn’t tried before.

We had a great laugh and he filled me with lots of confidence.

Thank you for the great afternoon! I look forward to seeing you again! X

Mark was one of the first photographers to sign up for my Castle group shoot.

I'm glad he did.

Great pre shoot communication.

Arrived on time, well equipped and raring to go.

Worked with all six models present with ease, professionalism and humour.

Worked well within a group setting.

Mark is a great roguish fella with a twinkly of mischief in his eyes.

I truly look forward to working with you again.

If you get opportunity don't hesitate give this photographer a run out.

Highly Recommended.

It was my first time working with Mark on Chris Barrals' network event in the Castle.

Mark is an absolute pleasure to work with - comes across down to earth, but wicked sense of humor - which made our shoot fun and we achieved great images indeed.

I am very much looking forward to working with Mark in the future - though wished I lived more down south.

Highly recommended indeed - thank you so much.

It was my second shoot with Mark and much fun and hilarity was had. Mark is so easy to work with and has lots of creative ideas. It was completely coincidental that we both had the same ideas. Great minds and all that...Highly recommend.

Retro Rob

Well what an absolute pleasure it was to not only see Mark again but to get a chance to create more magic this time at Raw Pics with my amazing duo partner Melany on the long awaited Retro Rob and Melany Tour .

The theme this time Fred and Ginger and the Greatest Showman.

Mark once again captured the mood and feel of each set perfectly adding beautiful attention to detail and bringing each scene to life with his images .

Mark is so lovely to work with courteous respectful and add to that a great sense of humour a true gent.

If you have not worked with this amazing creative you are truly missing out thank you so much Mark for not only being you but for a brilliant shoot I look forward to another photographic adventure again with you soon.

Mark came to the studio recently on a group shoot with the very talented Melany & Retro Rob

Mark has been to the studio before and created some amazing images. This time he pushed his skills even harder to create some fantastic images.

Mark has a very polite manner about him when directing the models and with his very creative mind, he produced some stunning images.

Mark was great fun to work with and I look forward to him being back at the studio soon.

100 % Highly recommended

Thank you soooooo much Mark for attending a vintage group shoot event I hosted with Retro Rob at Rawpics Studio. Mark brought fantastic sense of humor (and the very lovely Penny) to the shoot with his very good sense of humor, courteousness & consideration for the models, and professionalism.

He was a really good member of the team - helping out others and creating a good vibe.

Mark has fantastic ideas which he shared with us, and we worked with him to make his creative suggestions come to life. I really feel like he appreciated how hard we had worked and the efforts we’d put into hosting the day.

The images he was capturing (and is loading) are stunning!

Thank you Mark 😁 very highly recommended

Great first shoot with Mark at my location in Bath. Precomms were seamless, and the shoot went really well. In 2 hours we got through many sets and got some gorgeous images. I was able to pose freely, when needed he gave me some useful directions and we also tried different ideas. The back of the camera looked great and can’t wait to see some of the final images.

Highly recommend to any model

One of the most creative shoots we've done today! Couldn't recommend Mark enough. He's very easy going to work with and full of creativity and happy to go with the flow. Already have plans for our next one so watch this space for circus and smoke bomb photos!

Eagerly awaiting the finished edits- if they looked as good as they did on camera, they're gonna be some absolute corkers in the final edits.

It's been a while but finally we got back together and made some magic! Always a pleasure, from start to finish! Pre coms were great and was offered a cuppa as soon as I walked through the door, proper gentleman! Had a good old natter and a catchup whilst clicking away! Always a high recommendation x

It’s always such a joy working with Mark, he is such a lovely guy and so welcoming in his beautiful home. He even has the same coffee machine as me, so I feel so at home with him. We have so much to chat about, and it’s always interesting to catch up With everything to do with Model photography. We shot in his lovely home studio, he always has loads of interesting props and lots of really cool ideas. I feel completely creative around him, as he has such a really interesting creative flair, which clearly comes completely naturally to him. I am excited to see the photos of what was my second really enjoyable shoot with Mark. I hope it’s the second of many more as it’s always a joy to work with somebody you get on with so well XX

Second shoot with this lovely, professional, creative expert photographer. Takes great pics!

This shoot was a really special one as it was my first GG shoot and what fun it was!

Thanks Mark aka brighteyes for the fab opportunity and great fun experience!!!

This was my first shoot with Mark aka Brighteyed and it was "awesome". Mark is so easy and welcoming. We'd done lots of pre-comms but it flowed naturally sharing our creativeness. Lots of fun, laugh and wobbly heels. It was an all round pleasure to work with Mark If you haven't had the opportunity to work with him, I recommend you do. A very happy Dove.

Mark and myself worked together for a shoot in his home studio. I felt very comfortable and welcomed. Had my own room to change/use facilities. I am very excited to see the final edits. Mark is very approachable and friendly and I look forward to the possibility of working with him again in the near future.
