After knowing Michael from when I previously used to model it was a no brainer for me that I wanted to work with him again!

He’s a total gentleman, a good laugh and full of ideas! We didn’t have the best weather today but we made the most of it!

I can’t wait to see the images!

I’m looking forward to working with him again in the future and whole heartedly recommend to models both new and experienced!

After meeting Michael during a trade show in June, I had another shoot with him today when he booked onto my goddess themed model day.

He arrived on time, and is great fun to work with. He took some awesome images and I can’t wait to add them to my portfolio.

He was worried about his skill level as he hadn’t done photography for a while but he still has the knack so he has nothing to be worried of.

I would definitely recommend him and look forward to working with him again.

I met Michael, at the Click Live Expo when he was one of the volunteers chaperoning the pod I was working in.

He’s friendly, funny and an all around nice guy!! He made the time fly and helped the photographers set up their shots whilst also keeping me safe by making sure none of the photographers over stepped the mark.

He also took some fab shots from the pods too. Not to mention he was asked to be model for one of the guest speakers at the event and he looked fab.

If you have chance to work with Michael I would definitely recommend doing so and I look forward to seeing him again soon at the next event. :)

I had the lovely opportunity to meet Michael at a charity shoot.

He was lovely explained that he has been doing landscapes for a while and isn't used to studios so that made me feel at ease as it was like we were both new at the shoot.

He had great ideas was friendly to talk to and funny.

Was a great mini shoot and would happily shoot with him again.

100% recommend him to anyone.

Many thanks for the shoot michael

I had another wonderful location shoot with Michael this week.

He had a really cool idea lined up and knew exactly what he wanted from the shoot, which made it super easy to work together.

I love working with Michael as we always have a laugh, but get some great photos together!

Highly recommend! x

Working with Michael was an awesome experience, he is an extremely talented, passionate and creative photographer so good at what he does, he has an eye for the best shots and works hard to create unique and great looking images. He was also great and we got on very well, got the images back in good time too I would definitely recommend !

Michael is a true legend of the game and one of our go to photographer's we have had various shoots and the days venture was another walk in the park for Michael ( no pun intended) not only did he capture all 7 models with a unique style. He also put his body on the line ( battle scars are there for all to see)

if you haven't shot with Michael yet what are you playing at!?!?!

Hes a must have on your resume

Thank you

Really enjoyed working with Michael yesterday. Definitely the most creative and informative photographer I've worked with to date so I will be using the tips and tricks he suggested in future which will really be useful!

Although he was very professional and knew what would work well, he was very funny so we were able to have a laugh! Productive and enjoyable.

We really got some fantastic shots and I dont think I've ever been this excited to see the final images! Thanks Michael!

I had a lovely shoot with Michael yesterday in the gorgeous (If not very chilly) scenery of Lumsdale falls. He arrived on time, met me with a warm welcome and I instantly felt at ease working with him.

Although we had a chat here and there, I think we worked hard and got some amazing photos in return!

It was quite cold on our shoot, and Michael was really respectful and understanding with allowing me some time to warm up in my big coat in between photo sets. I appreciate this sort of respect from photographers SO much, and it made me think really highly of Michael!

Pre-shoot comms were great, and I’d recommend him to anyone! :D

I had a wicked shoot with Michael yesterday at his studio. After we had shot at a charity event at Barlow Studios I really enjoyed working with him so couldn't wait to work with him again. His pre comms were great, he put a gothic look together and also a like a boy look too and it really worked well. When I arrived at the studio I was greeted by Michael and the studio was set up and ready to go. I couldn't wait to get creative with him and see what images we could get. He is a very talented photographer and I really enjoyed working with him. The images look great. I would highly recommend working with him, Thanks Michael!

Was so pleased I got to work with Michael yesterday at Barlow Studio for a charity event. I had met him before at the East Midlands Social and we got on well there so it was great to see him at this event. He is full of fun and we had a good giggle during our shoot. He was also kind enough to give me a lift which I really appreciated! I really enjoyed the shoot and I hope I get the chance to work with him again. Highly recommended from me! Thanks Michael!

It had been a while since i worked with the main man himself and he didnt disappoint

Although lighting wasnt the best in the location he still managed to produce great images and made the models feel at ease :)

Highly recommended

I have worked with Michael many times, we first met in 2018 and I had my first professional cosplay photoshoot at his studio dressed as Loki Laufeyson with him. Michael was familiar with cosplay, and encorporated my ideas with his and added a few of his own. I have since worked with Michael twice more on location.

Relaxed, friendly and willing to listen.

I would very highly recommend.

I had met Michael a few times at the Nottingham socials but got a chance to work with him properly at a recent group shoot. Lovely chap, a total gentleman and fun to work with! Good with lights and a strong photographer who is happy to show you the back of the camera.

Highly recommended - thank you Michael!

After years of wanting to shoot me and Michael finally put a date in our diary’s for May

The shoot day finally arrived and We met up in Leeds city centre last week in a really cool area of Leeds

We shot various outfits against some really interesting backgrounds and urban areas of the city.

Michael is super relaxed, chatty and we had a good laugh and chin wag whilst walking around Leeds taking cool photos.

The 3 hours flew by in the blind of an eye!

Images looked cracking from the back of the camera and we finished off the shoot eating some amazing noodles!

100 percent recommended by me!

Here’s to the next one

Had a great shoot with Michael. Nothing was too much trouble. Made me feel very welcome in his fantastic studio which has so many great back drops.

Michael gives great direction and is easy to work with. Resulted in some great images. Would definitely work with him again and recommend.

I had a great portrait and fashion shoot with Michael, which we arranged when we first met at a Purpleport social. He kindly gave me a ride from the train station to his studio in Alfreton. Pre-shoot comms were excellent and the shoot itself was nice and relaxed. Michael is professional, friendly and great at giving directions to get flattering poses. His studio has great facilities including a spacious changing room, furniture as props and a wide range of backdrops. Really happy with the images and can't wait to upload them! Highly recommended! :)

Had my first ever shoot with Michael Mills. Such a joy & fun photographer to work with & made you feel relaxed & at ease at all times. Nothing was ever a problem & was great to be bouncing ideas off each other. 4 hours in the studio went in a blast. Fab studio & setup & even better as not far from me. Will definately be back to shoot & working with Michael again. Thanks again 😊
