I had the pleasure of working with Michael last week and I must say it was a great shoot.

I met up with an mua before the shoot started so we had plenty of time to apply makeup.

Once we had finished we met Michael up the road at a local park with some great locations for shooting. After using all the spots we could find in the park we moved on to a few other locations finding other locations along the way.

Michael was very kind, easy to get along with, talented, fun to work with and the photos look amazing without being edited.

I can't wait to get the pictures on my portfolios!

We've already been in contact about shooting again. Which I'm looking forward to :)

100% recommended

Thanks for a lovely shoot

It was a big pleasure for me to work with Michael, who showed that his skills to work with camera are truly impeccable. Michael's attitude is very professional and approach is friendly, he drove us in his car to each shooting location and covered parking expenses, he also was so kind and brought me and model nice warm coffee to help us go through cold afternoon. Thanks Michael again !

Michael is a fab photographer! He was very friendly and professional throughout the shoot and we worked great together to create some lovely images. He is very talented and creative and came up with some great ideas.

Michael made me feel at ease straight away and would 100% recommend to any model.

Thanks Michael x

I was very lucky to be able to work with Michael :) He's a fantastically capable photographer with an excellent eye for what will create an amazing picture. He's very friendly, easy to work with and even his unedited images look breathtaking.

I had admired Michaels work for a while, and was really looking forward to shooting with him.

Michael has a very modern approach to photography, capturing edgy youth culture in a sticks and stones mag essence which is right up my street!

I felt totally at ease shooting with Michael who

was also open to my bizarre suggestions!

Looking back on the camera the images looked incredible, with a good variety and use of natural light.

Thank you :)

I had a great shoot with Michael today, we shot in the summer sun outdoors in woodlands and fields. Before the shoot he sent over lots of ideas of what he wanted and outfit ideas which was great. We were supposed to be shooting both inside and outside but the weather was too good not to just spend the whole time outdoors, which is what we did so we headed off and ran through lots of different ideas and styles.He had some really cool ideas, and was highly professional at all times and made me feel comfortable throughout the shoot. He was friendly and easy to get along with also.

Can't wait to see some images! Highly recommended from me :)

I have worked with Michael twice now - the first being on location and the second in a local studio. Michael is a fantastic person to work with. He is highly creative and professional and he takes a lot of pride in his photography. Pre-communications were excellent - I felt very prepared and comfortable beforehand and throughout our shoots. I am over the moon with the images! I highly recommend Michael and would most definitely love to work with him again in the future.

I had the pleasure to work with Michael for the second time on an outdoor themed shooting at Eridge Rocks. Michaels pre-comms were excellent and he arrived on time at the agreed place.

Michael is a real joy to work with and knows what he is looking to shoot and timed seemed to go by very quickly :D Also, the photos looked on the back of the camera looked fantastic :D

Highly recommended to all by me, Odette

I had a fantastic shoot and a fun day today with Michael. I got to do something that was on my modelling wishlist for a long time and I am so excited to see the results! I felt at ease during the shoot as Michael was polite and friendly at all times and despite feeling really down this morning the rest of the day has cheered me up. I am really pleased that I got to work with Michael and I would recommend him to other models :)

I had a lovely first shoot with Michael on Thursday... Pre-shoot planning was not to fault, the communication was great!

Michael is a lovely man and I felt very comfortable around him so the shoot was very relaxed and friendly.

We mixed the shoot up a bit with natural lighting and studio lighting and I can not wait to see the images!

Highly recommended... Thankyou :) xx

I'm glad I had the chance of working with Michael recently. Communication and planning of the shoot were great, he had sent me notes with ideas/requests, so nothing is left out. I did not feel any pressure on set and received direction when it was needed, that's why I would recommend him to a model of any level of experience as it was very relaxed. As a result we're shooting again soon :)

I had a wonderful shoot with Michael on Wednesday! We had very good communication before hand and Michael was quick to respond to my messages with any info I needed.

Michael was kind enough to pick me up from the station to take me to the shoots location (he also dropped me back after the shoot), straight away I felt as ease he's very relaxed and friendly, we chatted the whole way.

We had planned to shoot outside but unfortunately the weather was against us. Michael was very prepared for this and had already planned a second location incase the weather wasn't on our side. The shoot was very relaxed and stress free. Michael had loads of ideas and gave good direction and feedback to the model. A very creative and talented photographer! I hope I have the pleasure of working with him again!

I can't wait to see the final images!

This was my second shoot with Michael after we shot a few months ago with one another and yet again, he did not dissapoint. His pre-communications are faultless and in nature he is an easy going, relaxed and comfortable photographer. He's talented, creative and I was pleased to have the opportunity to shoot for the second time with him. Recommended!

Michael and I finally got our chance to work together when he booked me for a session at Tim's Cottage in Maidstone.

Pre-comms were thorough and organized - much appreciated. I very much enjoyed our shoot - a good, well-communicated collaborative effort exploring available light and lighting, a variety of looks and different moods and manners to suit the styling and settings. Michael has good taste and a good eye for handsome pictures. Interesting to talk to, calm, thoughtful, he is a real pleasure to work with and communicate with, and I look forward to working with him again and exploring different genres together. Highly recommended to other models.

I had a wonderful first shoot with Michael at my home last week. He is a thoughtful, friendly and talented photographer with a unique and elegant style. We made the most of the morning mist to get some really mysterious and beautiful photos. We were also very lucky to get some sunshine and got some gorgeous shots using natural lighting (I'm a big fan of natural light!). I enjoyed Michaels company a lot and I am delighted with the photos he took, I am sure we will work together again soon. Highly recommended! :)

I had a shoot this week with Michael.. He travelled down to me for a studio shoot. Pre- communications before the shoot were good. Really friendly and easy going photographer and we both inputted ideas to get some great images! Highly recommended :)

Well well well! What. A. Shoot!

I had a seriouuusly good first shoot with Michael today at the Little Chelsea Gallery in Eastbourne. Pre comms were great and we started the shoot on a positive note. Working with Michael is really easy - he was open to discuss the concepts throughout the shoot and is always prepared with a series of really strong lighting setups to make the most of the planned styling. Great communication throughout the shoot, and a really approachable attitude, allowed us to achieve a great variety of strong concepts during the shoot. Having seen the back of the camera, I already know the results are looking fantastic and I couldn't be happier with how the day went!

I very highly recommend Michael to ALL models! Definitely!

Very much looking forward to the possibility of future shoots! :D Thanks Michael!

Fantastic shoot with Micheal at my home location a couple of weeks ago! Really can't say enough nice things about this photographer has his own unique style which is so very classy and elegant I love it! Pre shoot communications were impeccable and I knew exactly what would be expected before the day and he even bought his own lunch ;) I felt at ease throughout my shoot with Micheal and the results are stunning! Thank you so much again for a great shoot and putting up the various fur babies! Very highly recommended :)
