Another fantastic photoshoot with this wonderful photographer. Michael really knows his craft and instinctively knows how to capture truly stunning images. It is always a pleasure to work with Michael. For this shoot he approached me to model a creative theme that he was eager to capture, a half body gold paint look and i just knew I wanted to work with him on it from the second he sent me the message – it is was lovely discussing the creative process with Michael throughout, exchanging ideas regard the look and style and with the help of a wonderful MUA to apply the paint and include further creative makeup effects everything came together so nicely. Teamwork really does makes the dream work, the images captured are absolutely phenomenal a great reflection of the dedication and sheer talent that Michel exudes in his photography. A lovely man to work with, always makes you feel so at ease and comfortable, very dedicated and passionate in capturing amazing shots, has great vision for aesthetically pleasing images, professional and down to earth and so kind and easy to talk to as well. I really look forward to working with him again in the near future, do I recommend him? Without a doubt YES, you will not be disappointed

I've worked with Mike 3 times, once as a model and twice as MUA.

All 3 shoots went great, Mike was polite, friendly and punctual and we got some great shots!

I really like his work and the finish he creates and I'd definitely recommend working with him! :)

I'm hoping we will work together again soon!

My second shoot with Michael, this time at Sandon Studio, went very well indeed!

I brought along a selection of outfits and he was open to shooting them and sharing ideas.

It's great to work with a photographer who is reciprocal and energetic.

Our shoot flew by, Micheal was super accommodating with the cold weather and facilitated with keeping everything comfortable so I could just get on with posing.

Michael is personable and professional, a great communicator and just an all round good egg! Highly Recommended

A very attentive and kind photographer, having worked with Michael previously I knew it was going to be a great shoot. Pre comms were amazing, a nice exchange of ideas to which formed to be a fantastic set plan capturing a gothic vampire look and an alternative lingerie styled theme

I just knew the images he would produce from this day were going to be phenomenal and they are. He is wonderful to work with and displays a true dedication to making a fantastic image that really captures the eye and is very aesthetically pleasing no matter the theme or style, he has an eye for capturing great shots that are so well composed and set up.

Michael is easy going, chilled out friendly man and very easy to work with and get on with. I felt very comfortable on set with him, he is professional, dedicated and a true pleasure to work with. It is great to come together with someone as skilled and creative as Michael.

Do I recommend him- most definitely and you will not be disappointed. I look forward to working with this wonderful photographer again in the near future

After communicating for sometime, I finally had the opportunity to work with Michael for the first time.

Mike booked 4 hours with myself, he was great company and the shoot itself was very relaxed and a lot of fun, very friendly and super easy to get along with.

We looked through each set to see how it came out, certainly some very stunning images captured, those 4 hours flew by.

Thoroughly enjoyed working with Mike, one of the loveliest, kind hearted and genuine fellow creatives in the industry i've had the pleasure of meeting and working with.

I was not disappointed, from the greeting to the shots to the edits it was faultless and I won't hesitate to work with Mike again.

100% recommended by me, you definitely won't be dissappointed.

Thanks for having me and a mega awesome day. MIA xx

Had a great shoot with Mike last week and the sun came out to play also. We shot at Cannock chase and got some cracking shots. Mike is full of ideas and knows what he’s looking to achieve, there was so many good shots it was hard to shortlist. A pleasure to work with highly recommended xxx

Had my second shoot at Sandon studio with the fabulous Mike.

I have a strong rapport with this guy and believe that reflects in our work.

We got some cracking shots out in the gardens! Natural light wasn’t our greatest friend that day but we adapted and overcame and ended up with some wonderful images :) can’t wait to see the end results

Mike is chatty and professional, I highly recommend him to any new or experienced model.

I look forward to next time :)

Thanks a bunch Mike!

Had my first shoot with Michael today at Sandon Studio and it was an absolute pleasure. Michael was the utmost professional, chatty and put me at ease. Comms leading up to shoot were spot on. Despite my eyelash disaster I think we have got some great images and I'm looking forward to seeing the end product. I hope to work with Michael again. Highly recommended!

Had a brilliant shoot with Mike at Sandon studio in July, on a blazing summers day - we shot a few sets outside before the sun got too high, some shapes in a red tier skirt on the stone chair, nudes on the swing, and sheer lingerie in the long grass, then headed indoors to the many cool rooms in the house, starting with suit and kinky boots in natural light, soft portraits in the bath, lacy lingerie and boudoir, and military hat with boots at the end. So many beautiful photos!

Mike is an absolute diamond, chatty, kind, respectful and such a good eye for creating beautiful imagery. He's a pleasure to work with! Would highly recommend.

Thanks again lovely!

Shot with Mike for the first time today :)

I know of Mike from Instagram where he followed my work for a while, and I was so pleased to hear that he wants to work with me! About a couple of months ago he contacted me to shoot beauty and he has been very easy to keep in touch. Mike was also providing lots of ideas for a shoot, which was so helpful!

Shoot went very smoothly. Make was patient with me as I was changing the makeup looks and was very understanding that dramatic changes can take a while. In four hours we managed to go through 3 main looks, which I tried to vary with different hair and accessories. Mike was very responsive to the changes and I enjoyed discussing how we can improve the shots :)

I think the photos look class. Very high standard beauty images from the look of BOC - hopefully I didn't let you down, Mike!

100% recommend working with the man.

Thank you for booking me to work with you and hopefully we can work together again at some point 🙂

Michael sent me a message wanting to shoot and I am so glad he did, just by looking at his phenomenal portfolio I knew that this is a photographer who is truly dedicated to his art and has a great eye for composition and lighting. His comms were excellent and soon enough we were swapping ideas and chatting about themes and styles and created a solid shoot plan complete with moodboards ahead of the booked date. Michael met me at the train station and greeted me very professionally with a smile and I just instantly felt at ease around him.

We sailed through the shoot at Image red studios with ease whilst creating a great shoot rapport and he allowed me to pose freely but also was not afraid to communicate to me with certain specific poses or looks he was looking for. Amongst the styles and outfit changes, we also tried something new to us both and of a creative nature which Michael was so keen and open to capture with amazing results.

Michael is just an absolutely amazing photographer and all round fantastic person to work with. Very professional whilst still being able to have a great laugh. He snapped some incredible image sets in each area and I am very happy with the shots captured.

I thoroughly enjoyed every minute working with Michael very thorough, great attitude, highly engaging, superb communication pre, during and post shoot, genuine and just an overall amazing person.

I look forward to the next time we work together and of course I highly recommend him

I have worked with Michael several times now and always enjoy and look forward to the shoots.

Michael is a very personable, trustworthy and creative person.

He always approaches the shoots with a professional attitude, giving his models ample breaks and privacy, and being considerate of safety.

Michael is articulate, funny and engaging, creating a great shoot rapport and being open to new input and suggestions.

He is passionate about creating tasteful and artistic images and works hard to achieve them. Michael has a great eye for composition and lighting, which is evident in his portfolio.

Thanks for another great shoot! I look forward to working with him again soon, and happily recommend him to other creatives.

Best wishes,

Lizzie
