I had a great day working with Miguel at Neon Dreams Studio.

He is such a talented and creative photographer who I really enjoy working with. We have so much fun during our shoots and he had so many great clothing with him for me to use.

Miguel is also such a kind person and I really hope I get to work with him again.

Highly recommended by me.

Yesterday brought my first (hopefully not the last) shoot with Miguel.

I travelled to London to shoot at HLD Studio which was a studio that had been on my list for quite some time, so I was excited for our day ahead.

Miguel met me at Farringdon station and we went for coffee to discuss proceedings. He was very thorough to make sure we were on the same page and it was apparent that my safety was at the forefront of his mind. Much appreciated.

He was a complete gentleman the whole shoot. Very funny, considerate, creative, chatty and a lot of fun to be around.

The nature of our shoot, lingerie, bubbles, lighting and fashion.

FYI. Miguel if you want your model to portray fore-longing expression, don’t bring along the cutest frog bubble machine. His kept me smiling for quite some time. Lol.

Thank you so much for a fun shoot. I had a blast.

Goes without saying I’d recommend in a heartbeat.

Thank you.

VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND...

I love shooting with Miguel...

Miguel is one of my favourite photographers to work with...

Pre comms - he is the best...

Professionalism - he is the best...

Respectful - he is the best...

These are just some of the things I love about Miguel, I cannot continue or I will make the other photographers jelous haha...

We shot at a hotel, got the best parking space (literally right outside the front door haha), unlimited coffee and the room was so spacious (we even used the toilet to store all our stuff, it was that big)...

We did a video shoot with different clips...Producing scenes of artistic and emotive visual story telling (sorry I am copying the wording from Aurora Violet here but it was so well written)...

Miguel's talent, creativity and ideas are endless...

Feedback throughout and this helped me achieve the results to perfection...

I cannot wait to see the video edited...

We are already talking about our next shoot together...

Thank you sooooooooooooo much for booking me...

I was so happy when I got invited by Miguel on a photography trip to Fuerteventura!

Photography trips can be challenging but Miguel is very well organised, kind and cares about the models comfort. The villa/location he chose was spectacular and one of the most beautiful places I've seen.

We all had an incredible time, productive and creative shoots and lots of laughter.

Miguel is a talented creative photographer and professional at all times, brought with him so many cool props and ideas! We shot so many beautiful sets and had so much fun !

The trip was organised with the help of the fantastic Natasha_Neon_Dreams which was an excellent choice and models where myself and Tink Kaos! We all gelled perfectly which is very important when it comes to photoshoots.

Great team and so much positive energy and memories from this trip , thank you very much for everything ♥

Of course very highly recommended !

Miguel kindly asked me to help organise a shooting trip to Fuerteventura which was a chance I jumped at! We went with Tink Kaos and Irida, everyone got on very well and bounced creativity off each other.

Miguel was so chilled, kind and even understanding when I had to sit out most of a day (I wasn’t modelling on this trip luckily)

Everyone had wonderful creative ideas and we worked so well as a team - M is a great photographer and was open and appreciative of tips and help. He got fabulous photos from what I saw! Tink and Irida worked beautifully together and separate.

Overall I couldn’t have asked for a better trip, thank you Miguel! Highly recommended 🙏🏼💚

Tink Kaos

Miguel organised a photographic trip to Fuertaventura with Natasha Neon & Irida in Feb, booked a gorgeous location in a mountainous village - so many areas to shoot, even just at the villa! We got some beautiful shots by the pool, in the sunlit shadows, solo & duo, on the first evening, wandered out to a couple of incredible black sand beaches, with stunning rock formations, got a few very cool street shots too - the images are gorgeous!

Miguel is a very chilled, funny soul, respectful, and kind - he was ever so courteous on the trip, made sure we were fed, watered, coffee’d. Would recommend him to all models!

Thanks again.

It was a complete joy to meet and work with Miguel for the first time whilst he was up staying in Edinburgh, doing an expressive video shoot producing scenes of artistic and emotive visual story telling for a beautiful piece of music he had picked with fantastic output and I can't wait to see the finished results.

Miguel's communication was superb, explaining everything to me in great detail so I knew exactly what to bring, the details of the shoot, the music so I could listen to it and get a feel for it, also during shooting he also explained each scene we would be doing and what was required, being so respectful and making sure I was comfortable with everything. Giving clear direction and feedback as our shoot progressed.

We shot firstly in Miguel's booked apartment and then moved to shoot a couple of scenes outdoors also.

On my arrival Miguel kindly made me a lovely cuppy and we had a wonderful chat and a discussion about our shoot, with lots of incredible ideas and enthusiasm even bringing along some props that were perfect for the video it was a very refreshing and exciting shoot.

Such a gentleman, very polite, professional, kind hearted and pleasant company creating a really nice atmosphere whilst shooting not to mention being a very talented and knowledgeable photographer and videographer with a good eye for details, style and a passion to create amazing and dynamic art.

I highly recommend Miguel to all, a very productive, fun and highly enjoyable session with this amazing person and creative.

Thank you once again Miguel. 😁

I look forward to our next shoot.

I got to team up with Miguel for a yellow themed photography shoot in Canary Wharf, and I am thrilled to share my positive experience.

Miguel demonstrated a high level of professionalism throughout the entire process. Punctuality, clear communication, and a positive attitude made the whole experience a blast.

The final results turned out even better than I hoped – super satisfied!

If you are on the lookout for a skilled and easy-going photographer, I would recommend him. I look forward to do more together in the future.

My first time working with Miguel today. He was extremely professional and very respectful, friendly, and easy to work with. The Shoot theme had quite a spooky edge, Miguel's concept for the Shoot was really great as was his communication during the booking and planning process. He brought along some terrific props such as an oversized night dress and a very creepy doll that really set the spooky theme off. We got the required shots done very quickly. I hope to work with him again very soon.

Aretha Mbali

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Miguel. He was very clear, communcative, professional and kind from the beginning to end of the process. The shoot itself was very creative, and executed with clarity and vision. I had an amazing experience!

Arianna Gray

I had a shoot with Miguel this weekend and everything was fantastic. First of all, we had great communication for arranging our shoot beforehand. He detailed everything he expected so it was easier for me to have an idea of how was going to be our shoot. Apart from this, he is a great person and very easy going, so you will not get bored with him while working, since he is very talkative and has great ideas.

I would definitely recommend him to any model who wants to work with him!

Thankyou!

We shot at an awesome studio with a great owner called Rob at studio 88...

I contacted Miguel to see if he fancied another shoot and he said he could shoot me inbetween another model...WOW...Organised, multi tasker and amazing direction...

Extremely respectful and constantly making sure us models were ok...

A hell of alot of fun and productive at the same time...

You know when a shoot is going well because you don't want to leave haha...

Thank you soooooooooooo much...

Had a great shoot with Miguel this morning! He's super friendly and easy to work with, and he made me feel comfortable, safe and at ease. Great direction given, some creative ideas explored, and many compliments thrown my way! Can't wait to see the results from today's shoot and to work with Miguel again

Celia Nen

This was my third shoot with Miguel. It was a great shoot as always, he's very easy to work with and he's very friendly and respectful. We covered a few different ideas, looking forward to seeing the results later.

Looking forward to working together again. Highly recommended. :)

I saw Miguel's last minute casting he put up as his original model fell ill and was unable to make the planned shoot. So despite it being only about 12 hours until the shoot we managed to get all the details and everything in place to shoot today at The Dairy Barn Studio.

Miguel was on form with comms before and leading right up to the shoot. He ensured on arrival that we settle in first and warm up with some portraits and a chat. I found Miguel to be such a wonderful person, great sense of humour, we chatted away like we'd met before. He's very easy to talk to and one of thee most respectful photographers I have ever worked with.

Beforehand he sent me a model release form which actually stated all of the agreements for both the model and the photographer which mentioned that they would 'treat me with courtesy and respect, not ask me to do anything that isn't in agreement and that they will pay me at the end of the shoot before leaving'. Wonderful I thought.

Whilst shooting Miguel offered direction which I found helpful since we were shooting styles out of my normal/usual repetoire and quite comically I kept slipping back into 'Cute Rose' haha.

We shot a mixture of portraiture, fashion, some quirky lingerie with a strappy skirt and some figure nudes (mostly concealed). Miguel always checked on my comfort, temperature and if I wanted anything (food/drinks).

I had one of the best shoots I've had in ages, really truly enjoyable and I now look forward to our next one already.

Kindest Regards and Highly Recommended, Rose x

The Dairy Barn Studio

Miguel messaged me about studio hire while he was visiting the area. I recommended a local model who would suit his style and left them to make plans. Sadly that model came down with Covid and was unable to attend - she gave good warning and we hoped all would be ok but she had to pull out the night before the shoot.

A replacement model was found and the shoot went ahead at the agreed time.

Miguel arrived on time and was very respectful of the model who I had not previously met and a very relaxed shoot took place. Miguel was not in a rush and ensured the model was comfortable at all times with plenty of breaks.

The model had a great experience and I hope they both return at some point.

This was my second shoot with Miguel.

We did a mix of styles and levels.

I felt very comfortable and relaxed, we did had a bit of a giggle.

As we did shoot outdoors and indoors, when we went outdoors he made sure I was not too cold and happy to carry on.

He made sure I had breaks as it was a long shoot and we did had cup of tea during the break which is always a winner for me :)

At the end he made sure I got home okay.

Irida

Had a fantastic walk about London photo shoot with OFI-photography earlier today.

Very respectful, relaxed, easy to work with and professional photographer. Our shoot was very productive and really enjoyed working together.

Very happy to highly recommend to all models and hope to work together again soon :)

Many thanks

WOW...

You cannot beat working with Miguel...

I suggested one of my outside locations for a change and Miguel loved the place...

Miguel is always very respectful, professional and down to earth but most of all...A HELL OF ALOT OF FUN...

Miguel has some incredibly fun ideas that were just spot on perfect for me as a model...

We did some stills doing fashion, art nude and lingerie followed by videos...

The videos were my favourite (each time I took a clothing item off I had to do something different eg running or exercise)...

Thank you for booking me and making my afternoon sooooooooooooooooooooo amazing...
