I once again had a lovely shoot with Mike and Kym Williams. I created 2 very different looks that he took incredible images of to a very high standard.

He is very creative and always has a vision in mind that I’m so happy to assist in creating as always.

It’s always a pleasure to work with Mike, he’s very professional and an excellent photographer.

Thanks again Mike :)

I had an amazing shoot with Mike recently, at Image Red, with Sophie Ryan doing some rather epic Viking style make up - had a variety of Norse clothing & props, we shot a few sets outside, and some dramatic portraits in the studio. The images are incredible!

Mike is such a chilled dude, artistic, chatty, down to earth - would highly recommend to all creatives out there.

Thanks again!

Shoot number.... lost count!

Always a pleasure working with Mike. He is respectful, professional, full of ideas and also very patient when it comes to MU shoots.

I believe the shoot we did yesterday is our best shoot to date, due to the rapport we've built since working together.

Thank you so much, wholeheartedly continue to recommend Mike! :)

This is my second time working with Mike and I seriously love his company, his personality is so much fun and I clicked with him straight away even on our first shoot. All the way through our shoot we just kept laughing and telling jokes and to be honest I nearly pee myself ahaha because it was so funny and crying too. I have never ever had so much fun in my life on a shoot like this. His so caring, so professional and literally one of the best photographer who does portraits. His just so talented and phenomenal and can’t say highly enough about this fantastic man.

Thank you so much you have been amazing and hope we work together again soon 150% recommended.

After a great first shoot a few months ago, Michael and I worked together again in Stafford. He continues to impress with his creative abilities and camera skills, as well as his professional yet approachable demeanor.

I can't recommend Michael enough. Even with the three to four hour drive between us, working with him makes it worthwhile.

I had a wonderful first shoot with Michael, what a super friendly and down to earth man, so easy to talk to and work with! :)

Michael booked us to shoot at Basford Hurst cottage and the time just absolutely flew by! We managed to get several sets and they all looked like incredible shots back of camera and then even better when on the full screen!

I'm so happy with the images! Michael works hard to get the right angles and lighting for his shots and that definitely pays off!

Thanks for a fantastic shoot, 100% recommend!

Had my first shoot with Mike yesterday and it was just such a great day! Firstly, Mike's communication is excellent, he knew what he wanted to achieve and gave me ideas as to what to bring along which is always really helpful. Mike kindly picked me up at the nearest train station and I felt really at ease in Mike's presence as soon as I met him.

The shoot went super smoothly, Mike is really easy to work with and a lovely person to chat with. We had many laughs and also produced some amazing photos - the best of both worlds! Mike has a really great eye for capturing unique images, so very talented as you can see from his portfolio.

I had a terrific shoot with Mike and I'm looking forward to hopefully working with him again in the future. 100% recommend working with him if a chance arises! :)

Another great shoot with Mike!

We did a body paint shoot whereby Mike had arranged the MUA and location. I just had to turn up and be ready to be covered in black paint!

I always enjoy shooting with Mike. He always gets the best images.

Cannot recommend enough.

Already talking about the next shoot

Thanks as always Mike ☺️

This is my 4th shoot with Mike.

I created a full body paint look and Mike was very professional as always.

Pre shoot communication was amazing and the pictures I’ve seen so far are incredible. Mike creates amazing images both photographing and editing.

Really looking forward to the next one.

I would recommend to everyone!

Thanks again Mike! Hope to work together again soon!

Not that we are counting, but we recently did a beauty shoot number 5 with Mike!

Absolutely love working with him. He understands that the MU shoots take time to get ready for, and he is very patient with me. In the relaxed environment that Mike creates, I am also able to perform my best and I believe the photos reflect that.

Mike also is full of amazing suggestions, in fact, all of the looks we did on our last shoot were his ideas. And I loved them.

Very pleased with the fact that Mike is also happy to listen to me when I feedback on the way to improve lighting & background. Just really awesome, productive shoot all round. Again.

Thank you for sending me the photos to have a go at editing myself again! Highly appreciated.

5 star!

Hopefully until next time,

Every time we work together we create some wonderful work. We had great

Precoms of what we wanted before we started shooting. Thanks to Sophie as she was the wonderful mua Mike asked to work with us. And she was fantastic

. Created all the looks we wanted and the images are amazing. Can't wait to share what we have done. Michael is 100% recommended and the more we shoot the better our shoots get. Thank you for today.

Another very successful shoot with Michael again at Image Red studio in Tamworth.

We created 3 very different makeup looks for the very talented Denise Valentine. The photos look excellent thanks to Michael's amazing skills, very talented and a true professional. Different lighting/ backdrop setups for each look which were executed extremely well to compliment the makeup.

Pre-communication was amazing and was kept in the loop for all plans.

Can’t wait for the next shoot planned!

It was the first time Michael & I had worked together. I was excited when Michael contacted me, as I had seen that his portfolio was very professional with excellent work on it. We discussed & shared ideas through the chat. We decided on three different beauty looks for the shoot.

Our photo shoot involved an MUA & indoor studio location, which was well organised by Michael-helping me considerably due to my busy personal schedule.

Michael was very skilful within the sessions , paying attention to detail whilst shooting.

I believe we made a good team, & I look forward to seeing the final results soon.

Thank you Michael for your collaboration & I hope that we can work together again in the near future ....

A polite & professional photographer - highly recommended !
