I worked with Miguel on a theme based on 'my bed' by Tracey Emin. All ideas and thoughts were communicated in well written messages which were easy to understand. he already had a good idea of what he wanted to achieve with moodboards and image references so it was easy for me to deliver the results he wanted

he had excellent precomms and on the day communication. he was engaging and clear with direct. I was talked through the model release form before signing

utterly professional and considerate throughout. I hope to work with him again!

I worked with Miguel in a punk themed shoot and I absolutely loved it!

All the Pre communication was great, Miguel gave me all the details, told me exactly what he was looking for the shoot, sent me a moodboard and when meeting up we discussed that again and he always made sure I was comfortable with everything and asked for my opinion.

Miguel has a great personality, he cares for the model, he knows exactly what kind of shots he's looking for and has great ideas. I loved shooting and talking to him!

I can't wait to see the photos and obviously I highly recommend any model to work with Miguel!

Our second time working together and boy did we go for it!

Miguel invited me on an overnight trip to Norfolk, where we planned to shoot on the beach both at sunset and sunrise. A huge amount of conducting went into the shoot, both from my side and Miguel's - gowns, veils, slips, travel, hotels - yet it all seemed to go pretty smoothly! We carpooled over to a quaint seaside town, and I had barely been in the car a few minutes when I became sure we were going to have a great trip. It is such an absolute pleasure to work with someone as intelligent and present as Miguel is. I could talk to him for hours - indeed I did! :P

The weather was completely on our side as was the location and I'm sure we got some really great images. Can't wait to see them!

Thank you again for having me Miguel and I look forward to the next time!

I have just returned from an incredible 2 day shoot in Cyprus with Miguel and another model and what a delight it was.

Right from the casting process Miguel was precise, detailed and extremely informative about everything the trip would entail including flights, accommodation, shoot themes/ideas and all the terms and conditions involved.

It was a pleasure to work with such a kind, polite, gentlemanly professional that made me feel 100% safe, secure and happy on my first shoot abroad. The images taken were extremely beautiful and unique and will be a welcome addition to my portfolio!

Thank you so much for a wonderful trip! Highly recommended and would love to shoot again in the future.

Just arrived back for an amazing few days shooting in Larnaca, Cyprus with Miguel and another model.

I can honestly say it has been one of the highlights of my modelling career. From start to finish from pre comms, phone calls and arriving at the airport and being transported to and from the villa I felt completely safe and secure and it was an amazing time. Miguel is a highly professional photographer and a gentleman and he knows what images he wants to achieve. Really hope I get the pleasure of working with him again as it truly was an incredible trip and the photos are stunning!!

Thank you so Miguel and I really hope we don't leave it too long to work together again! ☺️

This was my second shoot with Miguel and it went as well as the first!

Pre comms are always excellent and he is an absolute gentleman during the shoot. Miguel is very friendly, extremely polite and very professional.

The shoots are always fun and relaxed, he comes up with some brilliant ideas and brought some wacky props for this one. Can't wait to work with him again!

I had a fab shoot with Miguel at my home this morning. We arranged a last minute shoot, the pre comms were super quick and easy. Miguel is friendly, professional and very easy to work with. The shoot flew by and we had alot of fun. Highly recommended ☺

Miguel had a lovely introductory afternoon shoot around the City. We had a lovely chat beforehand and got to know one another - and made it to a surprising amount of locations around London in such a short time! In fact I don't think I've ever taken so many pictures on a shoot before (and thanks for being so patient with me haha). :)

Miguel has a really clear image of what he wants in a photo and is able to give great direction to achieve it. He works quickly to get the right shot, which is very important when doing street photography at rush hour.

He is a gentleman and I cannot wait to work with him again.

Had an early morning shoot this morning with Miguel. Preshoot communication was great, moodboards really helped to gage the images Miguel wanted to create. He was very friendly, extremely polite and very professional. Made me feel comfortable throughout the whole duration and helped direct me when I needed it.

Would highly recommend Miguel and would love to work with him again :-)

I had an awesome shoot with Miguel, working duo with Helen Diaz. He is very friendly, fun to chat with, easy going and respectful. He made me feel comfortable and was super considerate when we shot in a cold location, made sure we stay warm and well fed. He treats models with respect and the shoot was very enjoyable. Highly recommended :)

I worked with Miguel again but this time with the lovely Soria who was my partner in crime for the week!

Miguel had very kindly booked us for a full day! (He must have been mad! Two crazy women in one space! The man has courage! :P ) The first part of the day we all went to my home town in Portishead by the sea and trust me when I say, it was FREEZING!!! It was bitterly cold so we started off the day with a Bacon Sarnie and then braved the winds! We made the very most of it, taking some beautiful images against the skyline and pebbled landscape.

We then headed back my home in Chippenham and shot in various rooms of the home, working from fashion to art nude. We created some gorgeous bodyscapes using oil...and then we rather stupidly forgot the impact of oil on bodies and paintwork... One dining wall had to repainted (several times after the shoot!) but it was a very memorable and super FUN day!

Miguel is a total gent to work with- a very endearing character and creates beautiful photos! I really loved what we achieved together and really hope we get the chance to work together again in 2018! Highly recommended, Helen x

I shot with the lovely Miguel for the second time the other day and had such a great time! The last time we had worked together it was 3 years ago, how time flies!!

Miguel kindly booked me for a full days shoot which we split into two halves- The first half shooting on location in Wales at a gorgeous ruin I know- and the second half in the warmth and comfort of my large home! :)

We had such a lovely shoot on location- the sun was shining and the light was perfect for photography. Miguel underestimates his photography but he is a talented natural light photographer and takes photographs effortlessly- he also thinks out side of the nox in regards to angles and I loved the photographs we produced on the day! I'm really looking forward to the uploads as they looked beautiful on the back of the camera :)

He also made sure I was warm and comfortable at all times and always had my safety in mind on location- which I really appreciated. We got on like a house on fire and had such a fab day!

A total gent to work with and I really hope we work together again soon. Highly recommended,Helen x

I had a great shoot in london with Miguel, arranged at reasonably short notice, pre shoot comms were excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed the shoot, he is professional and very friendly.

I shot with Miguel today in Brighton at an outdoor location and I had a very enjoyable experience! Miguel was extremely friendly, professional (we sat down and went through all details before shooting which really put me at ease), and creative! I had a bit of a disaster getting to the location, despite this, Miguel was very understanding which I was grateful for!

I hope to work with him again soon, highly recommended

Had a quick test shoot today out on location which went really well, very easy to get along with you, very communicative beforehand and very respectful during the shoot. I'd definitely recommend you and look forward to our proper shoot.

I had my first shooting with Miguel during my last stay in London.

I really wanna recommend him to anybody wanna have a cool shooting in a relaxed atmosphere. Miguel is really friendly, patient and full of cool ideas ! Hope to see u again in my next trip. Thank u !

I worked with Miguel this week on an ongoing project he is working on

He was friendly and professional from the word go. He made me feel very comfortable and made it easy to get the images we were both looking for

He offered helpful direction and tips, especially when we worked on portraits as this is an area I'm not as confident in

Overall this shoot was an absolute success and I'd most certainly work with him again in the future!
