What a Delight to work with Mike for the second time! We had an awesome shoot this time at the NLS.

I feel this shoot from both myself and Mike created some outstanding results which is down to Mikes relaxed nature, the ability to test & develop great ideas with the natural light and how easy it is to collaborate with him!

In every set we captured wonderful photos and I liked how after the first few shots Mike always showed me what we were capturing on the camera which allowed me to help develop the posing further.

I hope I get a chance to work with Mike again! and I can Highly Recommend him to all other creatives!

Mike is awesome! We have worked together numerous times now and each one seems to get better and better. It had been a long time since our last one and so it was real pleasure catching up and shooting again. We shot at natural light spaces for half a day, Mike's work with natural light is so beautiful, he knows how to work with natural light in every way, we worked our way through all options of the window light and every corner sparked more gorgeous results.

Mike is such a lovely person, professional and respectful at all times. Beforehand he checked if I would like some snacks and what types which was very kind. He even treated me to a lovely coffee on arrival.

Even in studio lighting Mike is super talented, working with art nude sculpting lighting, he brought a clear crystal ball along too to pose with which produced some wonderful images too.

My only criticism is that the time flew by far too quickly :( I hope we don't leave it so long next time.

I highly recommend him to any models :)

Thank you, Tillie

Had a great shoot with Mike today , he was a true gentleman and true professional , he knew exactly what images he wanted to capture and knew exactly how to capture them. I have a most enjoyable shoot. The images on the back of the camera looked amazing I can’t wait to see them. I highly recommended Mike and hope to work with him again in the future

Such an amazing day with Mike today!

He booked me for the first time at the Natural light Spaces and I just had so much fun! We managed to create loads of different style with at least one TERRIFIC picture for each set.

I've tried silk and aerial hoop for the first time and I just want to do it again and again! I wish I could have more time to keep creating great stuff with him!

Mike is absolutely professional, totally easy to get along and very talented! He knows a lot about lighting set up AND Natural light... He perfectly knows how to make you look absolutely fantastic! :-D

I would be delighted to work with him again. Thank's Mike for today!

100% recommended!!!

Mike is a natural light legend!

This was my third shoot with Mike and I remember working with him back in late 2016 at the start of my full-time modelling career, so it's always such a pleasure to shoot with him again.

I was super happy Mike had chosen Natural Light Spaces as the choice of location as it's a studio I feel we both really blossom in, and truly we did!

Mike is a rare mix of technician and artist, working methodically and bringing up some great suggestions - such as the bath!

As always the pictures are truly stunning, and I cannot recommend Mike enough!

Thank you :)

What a great photographer Mike is! I worked with him at Joels Photographic Studio, it was a great shoot and if I could work with Mike everyday I so totally would! Mike creates beautiful natural light images and I can't wait to upload them on my portfolio! Mikes friendly, easy to talk too and 100% professional! Hopefully we get the chance to work with each other again soon!

Thanks for a great shoot Mike

Speak soon!

I worked with Mike yesterday at my Studio Day at Image Red, and it was absolute pleasure. Mike is a true gentleman, friendly and creative, and a skilled photographer too. Comms prior to the shoot were great and Mike had already thought through what he wanted to achieve so we could crack right on. We worked through several ideas, all natural light based, and from what I have seen so far I believe we have created some very special pictures!

I would work with Mike again in a heartbeat, I repeat, it was an absolute pleasure! I most definitely recommend him :)

Thank you Mike!

I had a fantastic shoot with Mike at Natural Light Spaces in Northampton during my 3 days there. He was my first shoot of my time there and what a lovely way to begin! He arrived well on time and was very considerate in making I was comfortable, well-fed and energised during our shoot.

Pre-shoot communication was excellent, clear and made it very easy to plan the session.

Mike had a good idea of the concepts that he wanted to cover during our session, but is an excellent collaborator so was happy to explore some of my ideas and encouraged my input throughout the shoot.

Such a pleasure to work with, and already some beautiful images from our session. Thank you again Mike and hope to work with you again next time I'm in the UK!

Scarlett Jones

Absolutely brilliant shoot today!

Really enjoyed working alongside Mike. He gave direction well and is obviously a talented and driven photographer, which made the shoot even easier as he knew exactly what images he wanted to create.

Hopefully shoot again in the future :) was lovely meeting you!!

I had my first shoot with Mike this week. Pre shoot comms were awesome and it was a breeze panning a shoot with him. During the shoot he was very friendly, respectful and fun, coming up with some great ideas. He is an incredibly talented photographer and due to this gives great direction throughout the shoot.

He even turned up with fruit and choccy biscuits so I would highly recommend working with him if you get the chance and I hope I get the opportunity to work with him again :)

What a pleasure to work with Mike for the first time today!

Communications were excellent - I knew what was required of me and what to bring. Mike looked after me well throughout our shoot, which was relaxed, enjoyable, and resulted in some fantastic images. A total gentleman, respectful, easy to talk to, easy to work with, and he is happy to let you see the back of the camera throughout different sets. Invaluable to any model! We had a thoroughly enjoyable day and Mike even got my favourite biscuits for our tea breaks. What a star. Can't wait to see the finished images, and would absolutely recommend Mike. Thank you!

Had an absolutely fantastic first shoot with Mike yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Although it was last minute, Mike was extremely organised and all communications were clearly detailed. He met me and dropped me back off to the station and even provided food of my choice which was very kind of him. Mike is friendly, respectful, professional and all round top bloke. I was equally impressed with the fact that Mike takes great pride in his photography with creative ideas and attention to detail which is clearly highlighted in his fab work. From what I already seen we produced some superb images and worked well as a team. Mike gets my upmost recommendation. Don't miss the opportunity to work with this fantastic photographer and thank you once again for a great day. Very much look forward to shooting again :)

Mike and I had our first shoot together today at NLS :) Mike's pre-shoot comms were super, we got everything sorted and booked in with no issues at all. On the shoot he was friendly and made sure I knew I could let him know any time if I needed a rest (as we shot some aerial and en pointe ballet that can be very tiring that was particularly appreciated :) ). He is a total gent, very respectful to work with, and knows his lighting too. We got some excellent shots, can't wait to see edits :D Mike is highly recommended by me, hopefully we can shoot again soon! :)

Mike was an absolute pleasure to work with! So considerate of my needs at all times. He made sure I was warm, comfortable, fed and gave great communication during and before the shoot. He is one of the most respectful photographers you could work with.

He really knows how to work with natural light, and produces beautiful photos! He also is great to talk to.

He comes highly recommended, thank you for everything! :)

I had another lovely shoot with Mike this morning!

He picked me up from Birmingham and we had a good old catch up and a natter on the hour drive to Northampton :)

Mike is so much fun to be around, he’s a total gent and such great company. I always look forward to our shoots (and my regular pork pie snack hahaha) as I know the time will fly by and we will produce more beautiful images together :)

Happily recommended by me!

I had another lovely shoot with Mike yesterday on my model day at Image Red studios.

Mike booked the first 2hrs with me and we got some beautiful natural light images in the warehouse. Mike was very considerate with it being very cold on the day, he let me take breaks to warm up and refresh for each set. Mike is a true gentleman and a great photographer.

I always enjoy shooting with Mike and I can recommend him 100%

Thanks Carla :)

Mikey booked me for a 4 hour shoot at Natural Light Spaces and I’m so glad he did! Mikey glows with a friendly aura that put me at ease straight away; I kinda wish we had shot for longer because of the conversation and Mikey’s keen eye for getting good shots. I was well stocked up with delicious treats and wasn’t over worked. We ended up creating some amazing images! Hope to work with you again sometime :)

I posted a casting call and as soon as Mike responded I jumped at the chance to shoot with him again because despite our previous shoot being years ago it always stood out to me and was such a fun shoot.

This time round it was no different! Mike is such a lovely guy, really really lovely. Calm, relaxed, encouraging, kind and had a real positive vibe about him. I love his photography and the way he uses his light.

He comes highly recommended from me and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again :)

I had an amazing shoot with Mike today at Sandon studio! He picked he studio so well, I was absolutely mesmerised by it and the images we have created together. Mike picked me up and dropped me off to the station without any problems. He also gives great tips in regards to the lighting. Extremely talented photographer who knows how to take a truly captivating image. Highly recommended and I would shoot with him anytime!

Carla Monaco

Lovely 2 hr shoot with Mike at Image Red studios last Friday. I haven't shot with Mike for a few years now so it was lovely to catch up and shoot again. Mike is such a lovely person, great company and a great photographer.

Mike treats you very well and is a gentleman throughout the shoot, I always enjoy shooting with Mike and I am looking forward to hopefully more shoots in 2018.

Thanks Mike

Best

Carla :)
