Had my first shoot with Mike today…I must say he is a great guy and an amazing photographer, really easy to work with and loved the images I saw on his iPad.

I am eager for another opportunity to work with him and have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone seeking a talented and dedicated photographer 😊

An amazing first shoot with this great photographer! We immediately connected and feels like I’ve made a new great friend.

Very friendly and chatty, yet professional. His work is stunning and i can’t wait to see the results!

We shot to fine art nude at my home.

I recommend to all models, and hope one day we may shoot again.

Ive had several shoots with Mike Rhys now but this was the first time in my home country!

Mike booked me for a duo shoot with Megan Jay in her lovely home, the time absolute flew by, as always Mike was laid back yet professional and respectful. I loved what I saw on the back of the camera.

Hope to work with him again soon, no matter what country its in! :D

Wow! what an amazing shoot I had with Mike on his UK tour. I'm so glad he chose me to apart of it. Mike was extremely professional and pleasant from start to finish and made me feel completely at ease in my own home.

I was so impressed by Mike's creative mind and vision, he showed me some ideas and past work that he had created which all blew my mind!

I absolutely highly recommend anyone to work with Mike and see how amazing himself and his work is.

I hope for us to work together again soon in the near future. Thank you for an amazing shoot ♥️

I had a fantastic shooting day with Mike at my place in London yesterday.

I was so happy when Mike selected me as one of his models in the course of his UK tour.

I expected a good outcome of the shoot after seeing some of this photographer's work, but my expectations were truly surpassed.

Mike showed up perfectly prepared when it comes to his camera gear and some small props; but what really fascinated me were all of the ideas he had in his head.

The whole shooting day was a beautiful, creative flow with truly amazing results.

Mike isn't only a talented photographer with tons of experience but also an amazing human being with whom time just flies because of all the great chats and interesting stories you have to share.

If you have the chance to work with this photographer: Don't think twice!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Thank you Mike for working with me

This was my first time shooting with Mike, we focused on a range of erotic and nude themes, my favourite set being where I crawled halfway into a vintage tv! He was laid back, respectful, chatty and we collaborated well with ideas. He also knows what works in terms of lighting and angles, highly recommended and I hope to work with him again one day!

My first full day shooting' with Mike(- during his tour in the UK)! I am So pleased he contacted me! I absolutely loved shooting with him! Pre comms were efficient and easy. All discussed before hand. We shot from my home and covered styles from fashion to adult.

Mike's English was great, he has a fantastic taste in style, is very relaxed and easy to talk to, has some decent equipment and uses it well!

The shoot was fun, creative and flowed really well and went by very quickly. I felt really relaxed around Mike, he was very respectful and professional. Mike throughout changed his lenses, angles and focus point to gain better images and different effects and showed me some of the results as we went.

He knows what he is doing, has some great, published work and a good eye for art, detail and creating a story telling image.. you'd be silly not to take the opportunity to work with him! I love to learn new things on a shoot and I certainly did here.

I look forward to us working together again in the future. Many thanks Mike! Highly recommended.

Mike and I arranged a shoot whilst he was here on tour and I was super excited to get creative with him!!

I picked Mike up and from instantly meeting him, we got chatting in the journey and got on great. We arrived at mine and saw some beautiful sunlight beaming through the window creating a lovely shadow on the floor so we took full advantage of it. Wow!! We captured some absolutely stunning images, and the rest of the day followed suit. I was so pleased as we looked through the images and can’t wait to see the final results.

Mike is a great guy and a fabulous photographer. The shoot was awesome and we had such a great day!

Thank you Mike for a great first shoot. I look forward to working with you again soon

Highly recommend from me

I worked with Mike back in October ( sorry for the later reference Mike) he was a fabulous photographer who clearly knows what he wants to achieve from a shoot. We had a great day and I am so greatful that he chose to work with me. I was very impressed with his knowledge and experience and I loved his creativity and knowledge of the art. Thank you for working with me Mike and I hope our paths cross again in the future.

I have worked with Mike 3 times now I believe, he was visiting the UK from Germany to work with some lovely UK models! Mike arrived into the UK the day we shot came straight from the airport to shoot at my home! Arrived on time and with a smile! Mike is absolutely lovely and a pleasure to work with! He is always so professional, polite and respectful throughout the shoot.

Booking the shoot is always done with ease and communications are great! He’s very very good photographer and we got some lovely images! I thoroughly enjoy working with Mike and hope our paths will cross again! An absolutely lovely person and a great photographer! Wholeheartedly recommended!

The Apex Studio (Telford)

Mike Had a remote session booked with Evie Kedavra & we were delighted to be hosting this at Apex Studio.

Mike has a lot of experience with remote shoots so was very familiar with the software we were using.

He was great to chat to throughout the session & has a friendly personality.

He was very respectful whilst working with his model & gave good direction

We look forward to hosting Mike again in the future

Highly recommended.

I've lost count on how many shoots I've done with Mike at this stage which is a good sign in itself and have no plans on changing this anytime soon

We used a studio for a couple of hours on our latest shoot which provided a change of scenery

Mike was as attentive as always and comes highly recommended

I shot with Mike today at his studio in Hamburg Germany 🇩🇪

We have been wanting to shoot for around a decade but never got round to it until now

Mike is great. He collected me from the airport and I stayed at the studio the night before the shoot. The shoot went really well. We produced some stunning images. I always felt at ease and comfortable with him.

My time in Hamburg certainly wasn’t long enough!

I hope to return soon so we can shoot again

I would highly recommend him as a person and a photographer

Twas a real pleassure to finally meet and shoot together

After a gap of a few years (thank you covid) I was able to shoot with my dear friend Mike again.

The Studio as I remembered it - huge with plenty of things to create sets and looks, fabulous natural light and multiple lighting set ups.

Mike himself is a wonderful photographer, knowing exactly how to utilise each space and to not only light his subject, but set the scene for a set. Making my job a lot easier!

The weekend just went by far too fast, shooting all manner of wonderful things, with wonderful people. It's at times like this that I really love my job.

Highly recommended for both local models, and travelling ones. I will happily give any model a glowing reference for Mike because he is a star!

Until the next time :)

I had my second booking with Mike last weekend and once again I highly recommend him to all models coming to Hamburg.

Mike is such a sweet and respectful photographer, he does everything to make you feel comfortable.

Mike is also extremely talented, has always great ideas for shooting, we created amazing pictures! Working with Mike is so chill and easy, time flew by so quickly!!!

It was a real pleasure to work with Mike, and I will defenetly come back again! Thank you so much for everything!!

I had my first shoot with Mike after applying to a casting call and then doing my first ever remote shooting. Having never done it before Mike spent plenty of time explaining how things worked to me and was very patient as I set things up for us.

We were due to shoot the day before, and I forgot my camera wire to tether being away from home, so Mike was very patient and understanding in reareanging to the following day - giving him a big thumbs up from me.

Mike was kind, patient, fun and creative. I would highly recommend working with him and hope the opportunity may present to us again one day too! :)

I had a two days shoot with Mike in his studio,

It was lovely to work with him and Franco, we started with some classical nude and went to some ballet poses and abstract bondage styles that I really liked.

I stayed with my partner in the studio to sleep and we felt really welcomed

I’m happy with the process and the result, models who travel to Hambourg make sure you get booked here ! Amazing weekend and I can’t wait for the final results
