I had an amazing shoot with Michael yesterday and came away feeling great! We shot at a beautiful studio and Michael was approachable, friendly and professional. The shoot ran really smoothly throughout and I think this is the most flowing and confident shoot I've had to date. He has a really creative mind and came up with a wide range of ideas for us to shoot. Michael is also a very talented photographer and you are guaranteed to come away with a lovely set of images. I can't wait to see the images and what we've managed to create! I would highly recommend Michael to new and experienced models and would jump at the chance to work with him again. Thank you :)

I had the great pleasure of working with Michael today at my new home. He is professional, organised and gave me lots of information of what he was after prior to the shoot. I felt relaxed working with Michael and overall very much enjoyed the shoot. He is an amazing photographer and I look forward to seeing the photos! Thank you for coming to Fleet :) Highly recommended.

Had a fantastic shoot with Michael today. Traveled London-Eastbourne, got lost on the way, Michael quickly pointed me into a right direction, picked at the station and VOLLA!- had an amazing shoot till the very end. The studio had multiple rooms, warm and well equipped. Michael is quick, experienced, comfortable to work with and I was well looked after. Oh, and I was even paid before meeting this lovely gentleman.

I had an amazing shoot with Michael at The Little Chelsea Gallery in Eastbourne. Michaels pre communications was impeccable and I knew what kind of looks we were going for. On the day Michael was so interesting to talk to, patient, kind, open and just generally a lovely person to hang out with. He is so talented and has a great eye at capturing unique and creative images. He had loads of ideas and tried alot of different styles and moods and I think we took some amazing shots! He comes highly recommended from me and I hope at some point we can work together in the future.

I had my first shoot with Michael in the 'Little Chelsea Gallery' in Eastbourne. The gallery was a great setting for many different styles of photography and we did some boudoir and studio portraits.

There was not a lot of natural light available on the day but we managed to achieve some great pictures due to Michael's skill with studio lighting. I felt confident that we were getting good pictures and would definitely recommend working with him!

I had a very pleasant shoot with Michael yesterday. We shot from my home and then braved it out to Devils Dyke. It was such a sunny day that we had to get outside! I've seen some lovely shots taken at my home already so I'm looking forward to seeing the rest!

I worked with Michael Thursday on a spontaneous shoot after posting a casting call. We had a fantastic three hour shoot together! Michael was a warm and comfortable individual to be around. He showed up perfectly on time and the communication between was prompt. Michael is someone who proves thag a spontaneous casting call can turn out fantastic results and is well worth doing! Thank you!

Thank u!

Michael arranged a shoot in a fantastic little studio in Eastborne. Great organisation of the shoot, a brilliant mua was found and he seemed to have a clear view of what he wanted to achieve (which is fantastic for me as i'm always stuck for ideas!). I came out of it with a lovely selection of images, very unique compared to what i usually do.

Thank you! x

I finally got to work with Michael yesterday at TMA studio in Birmingham and it was excellent.

I arrived in a flustered state, due to issues with a parking permit with the studio and then issues with Pay and Display... grrrrrrrr. However, after arriving slightly late we jumped straight into the shoot and had a blast! Michael is awesome, and feel very lucky to have worked with such a lovely, generous and curious gentleman. Michael is awesome!

I'd recommend him to anyone at all!

I can't wait to see the images Mike :-D

I have worked with Michael today and I am absolutely stunned by his passion, great manners and professionalism. He is talented and humble person, who shows only the positive sides of his character. He poses some valuable human qualities, which are rare , especially among other people involved in creative industries! I believe he is one on the best photographers to work with. We had a fantastic collaborative session with series of incredible, magical pictures, which I can not wait to see once they are edited! I would recommend Michael million times and can not wait to work with him again! Great thank you!

I had a ball working with Michael. He is such a sweet, gentle mannered and professional photographer. I was cast as part of the team at short notice and I am so glad that I was. Pre comm before the shoot was spot on and detailed so there was no confusion. And on the day of the shoot, Micheal welcomed us all and made us feel all comfortable and looked after. We created magic on the shoot and I am looking forward to seeing the end result of all of our hardwork. Micheal was such a delight to work with and I would highly recommend him. I look forward to hopefully working with Micheal again soon.

Had a great shoot with Michael last month in Southwater :)

Would definitely work with him again

I had the privilege of styling Michael's recent shoot with Nao and Danielle SAMs.

Preshoot comms where excellent giving me all I needed to know about the models regarding sizing and the style required from the wardrobe for the shoot.

On the shoot he let me have creative direction and simply let me dress the models how I wanted along with working with the MUA to decide makeup and hair.

On the shoot he even allowed me to direct the models into poses to get the most from the outfits.

I'm looking forward to seeing the finished images and hope to be working with Michael on future projects as stylist.

I had the pleasure of working with Michael this week. We had originally planned to do the shoot outside but unfortunately the weather wasn't on our side. Michael came prepared and we quickly switched to shooting inside and got some really great results. Michael is very charming and easy to work with. He is laid back and has a real calming effect which really seems to relay into his images. Luckily we caught a break in the weather later on and managed to get a few delightful shots outside. I can highly recommend Michael as a photographer, great guy!

Nao

This was my third time working with Michael and I had so much fun, the photoshoot involved a stylist Al:ce, MUA Helena and Danielle as my model buddy! It was hectic as the weather challenged us but we managed to use my house as a setting and Michael was able to adapt and direct us through out the shoot as well as providing snacks for everyone :) I would definitely recommend working with him!

Today was my third time working with Michael and it was the first time we shot in the city. We spend three and half hours hunting good locations in Brighton and no question doubt the preview were looking amazing! He is friendly, professional and passionate in photography. I am very glad to have a chance to work with this photographer!
