I worked with the lovely Mike at my home yesterday. His pre comms were excellent and I knew that he would be amazing to work with but I was so pleased with how the day went! Mike came super prepared with loads of cool clothing and he was relaxed, friendly, chatty and has great banter! It was like we had known each other for years.

We shot a range of stuff and Mike knew instantly the kind of angles and light that would suit each thing, we got some amazing shots and I'm so impressed at how well he used my flat.

It definitely won't be the last time we work together and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to others!

Worked with Mike last week whilst I was in London and I think it was our 3rd shoot together. Of course like the previous shoots it was awesome and very productive!...

We had some changing around of dates and times but comms via Mike were brilliant, all the detail and quick!...

This time we decided to shoot some video which was pretty ad lib as our original idea didn't work in the new space...but that didn't stop us producing some amazing results and have a good giggle as well!...

Towards the end of the shoot Mike was also open to shooting a completely new style (for both of us actually) but I think we nailed it, and that was due to Mike experience with working with natural light and knowing how to get the best from his camera.

As always I would recommend Mike, he's a really lovely person who always makes you feel comfortable and to finalise an extremely talented photographer!

Thanks again Mike!

I was absolutely delighted to host Mike at my studio! Communication was friendly, polite and prompt, payment without a problem, the team arrived on time and left the place in a wonderful condition. Couldn't recommend highly enough! See you soon! :)

Just had my second shoot with Mike at an awesome studio he found in London.

He is friendly, professional and just cool. The shoot was so laid back, his creativity is amazing and he is also happy for me to do my own thing. I picked out a super funky outfit that I saved for this shoot as I just knew we would make it work, and looking at the back of the camera we nailed it.

I really enjoyed our shoot and I'm so excited to see the results.

I hope I get to work with Mike again soon and of course he is highly recommended by me.

I had the very great pleasure of attending a workshop on video shooting with a DSLR. Mike created a truly superb day. Instructive, fun and crammed with quality information. I came away delighted with how much I had learnt. Mike didn't stint on anything and was fastidious at making sure we all got what we came for.

Mike approached me about modelling for one of his video workshops, and since I had so much fun on our last shoot, I was happy to agree. He had arranged beautiful accommodation and treated me to dinner, as well as being a fantastic host during the workshop itself. Mike is a funny, genuine and creative guy: it's a pleasure to work with him and I hope to do so again in the future. Highest recommendation!

Mr Arrow invited me to model for one of his video tuition days at the Natural Light Space & having worked together before of course I said YES!

He arranged a gorgeous cottage for Rin & me & treated us to dinner while running through his workshop presentation & briefing us for the next day.

A very good teacher I enjoyed observing as much as I did modelling. His workshops are fun, inventive, informative and super productive. And by the end of the day everyone had great footage and the knowledge to edit & produce a short.

An absolute pleasure to work with Mike & I look forward to our next shoot :) Sx

Had an excellent days video taking and editing tuition at The Natural Light Studio today,with Arrow Photography.

Superb instruction targeted to exactly what I wanted to know.

I may not have made an Oscar winning movie today, but I am certainly inspired to devote more time to this very satisfying and creative art form.

I recommend Arrow Photography to all that aspire to make stunning videos.

Jimmy Deas

I asked Arrow Photography to come into Lyon studio to update my video skills, which were some 20 years out of date, and I am so glad I did. We covered basic principles and camera settings in a structured and concise fashion with just the right amount of technical info and in a good time frame. Loads of tips and hints, that had been learnt the hard way through experience, meant I was able to get shooting some great footage straight from the “get go”.

A load of information, resources as well as some really good notes where provided. Covered shooting and styles and once footage had been shot we covered video editing, with again lots of tips and tricks learnt through experience. Was a great tuition session with loads of information and practical advice as well as a great laugh.

I would have no hesitation in recommending an Arrow Photography workshop and indeed will be looking at attending another….. Highly recommended….:)

Michaels work and references speak for themselves and tell no lies... stellar chap!

I had the pleasure of meeting Michael at Lyon Studio whilst I was acting as model for Jimmy Deas on a half day video tutorial.

Michael is incredibly encouraging and reassuring, as this was a medium I'd never worked with before his easy attitude was very settling, leading to an interesting, informative and very fun mornings work.

I sincerely hope to work with Michael again in the future and would certainly reccomend him to fellow models.

Thank you for my intro into the brave new world of video!

I've admired Mike's work for ages, and jumped at the chance to shoot with him!

I was not disappointed - he is absolutely fantastic... takes amazing photos, is very pleasant, friendly, polite, professional, easy going..... an absolute pleasure to work with.

Highly recommended - can't wait to see the images. I know they'll be fantastic.

Thank you Mike!

Kind regards

Mike, Mike, Mike...what can I say about magical Mike! Haha!!

Mike is awesome. I first worked with him back in...2015? and I knew after that we HAD to work together again!!

He mailed me a few months ago asking if I would be up for doing some video work, to which I of course said HELL YEA BABY...

So February came and there we were in the Little Chelsea Studio umming and arring about what exactly we were going to do. An hour later I was licking the bed posts and greasing Mike's Pole...I kid you not. ;)

What a bloody wicked day it was. Creative, creepy, fun, sexy and awesome. I am VERY excited to see the final video and hopefully work with Mike on our other wicked ideas this year too.

Can't recommend him enough. One of the nicest guys you will ever meet, talented as Fu... and damn, his dress sense is just too cool for school.

10/10 and high fives all round, baby!!

:)

What a dude! I'm so pleased I finally got to shoot with Mike today. I. Literally. Waited. My. Whole. Life. Nahhh only joking! He was so friendly and lovely and easy to work with time just went by so quickly. I'd definitely recommend this Master of Natural Light in a heartbeat. Thanks again Mike.

Darren Lee

I had been following Mike's photography and video work for a while, and yesterday I got to meet the man behind the images at his first DSLR video workshop. I have to be honest in that both the workshop and Mike's easy style of teaching far exceeded my expectations, and it was a thoroughly enjoyable and productive day. Mike has a very personable style and explains things very simply and clearly, whilst also being enthusiastic about the subject.

I absolutely recommend working with Mike, and keeping an eye out for his Video workshops when they're rolled out in a couple of months.

Thanks again Mike, Fantastic day, I learnt so much :)

Just a few words of praise and thanks to the totally incredible talent that is Arrow Photography.

I had the pleasure to being on Mikes first video training course at the Natural Light Studio near Northampton.

His passion for what is does comes over in the relaxed and easy style with which he teaches. From never having shot video before I was able to shoot, edit and process a full video in just a few hours...

This mans skill and talent really are something else and if you want to learn from somebody who really does put everything into what they do then there is really no other choice in my opinion.

Thanks Mike.

I worked with Mike for the second time, on a video training course he ran at The Natural Light studio. Mike's pre-shoot comms were great, so I knew how the day would pan out. As always, Mike was professional and easy to get along with. He had some great ideas and was very calm & informative in his approach to the two photographers he was training. I would recommend him to other models and looking forward to work with him again soon :)

Tink Kaos

So it's been a long time coming, working with Mike, we've discussed it so many times but only just got around to working together! Crazy! I knew immediately that our styles would suit one another's, being super arty and full expression - such a brilliant eye for this photography biz. We shot in Heathrow in a rather funky little Yotel room, making use of the cool coloured lights, did some amazing music video footage and produced some epic portraits - I knew it would be cool as fuck!

Mike is a friendly fellow, with a great sense of humour, an amazing eye for photography and media, and very chatty. What a dude. Highly recommended!

We really don't know what more we can say about this guy that we and others haven't already said.

Its always a pleasure to have Arrow in the studio, this guy is so passionate about his photography and the shear commitment he puts into getting the right image shows through every time.

Well planned but flexible, open to new ideas and try new techniques. Mike is one of the most talented photographers I have had the pleasure to work along side and despite his superior skill he is happy to take an board advice and suggestion.

We are looing forward to welcoming him back into the studio in the new year to run some courses...

Always highly recommended not just for his skill and talent but also for being a genuinely great guy.

JTD-Photography

I have had the chance to work along side Mike 3 times now in the studio and each time I have learned more about the type of photographer I want to be!!

Mike is freindly, chatty, creative and talented. I genuinely nice guy who shoots some amazing images. He works so well with his models always putting them at ease instantly.

His video work is crazy good and I look forward to learning this skill from him in the new year.

Fully recommended for being an awesome photographer and a all round good guy!!

Mike's Photography speaks volumes, it goes without saying how talented he is with a camera...but he has another 'not so well-known' talent too and that is his videography. :-o

Mike & I have been in touch for months about arranging a shoot together, when finally we managed to make it work and shoot somewhere in-between our distances, at The Natural Light Studio, Northampton.

We were originally chatting about photos until I think video got mentioned and I had happened to have seen a video i'd love to do a 'similar' version of and Mike was raring to give it ago. He showed me his previous video work and I was blown away. He is really rather good! Well VERY good infact.

I was so excited to work on this project with him and to meet him too. He is a lovely, humble, down-to-earth person, he treat me like a friend and looked after me whilst I was in his company. Very kind and much appreciated, thank you.

I am so thrilled with the results of our shoot and I can't wait to share them, the videos going to be amazing!

Thanks so much Mike and I would love to work with you again :)

All the Best, Love Tillie x
