Mike made me feel very welcome to the Isle of Man. We shot in a great location & he brought along spray to get rid of some bugs. He doesn't let his mobility restrictions restrict him & he had done some amazing things. Some great images were produced & I'm keen to see more. Thanks for your support in trying to get me more work on the small island & telling me about this unique independent place. I can not thank him enough for the support of helping my friend out on my behalf when I had no reception. Though there was some slight scares with others on the island, he is a reason I'd think about coming back to the Island. I didn't get to see thee south but he picked me up in Onchan to shoot on the west side & then dropped me in Ramsey on the north for my 2nd shoot. Wishing you well, all the best, kind regards.

Had the absolute pleasure of shooting with Mike recently at Sandon Studio. Mike is a very lovely guy that is friendly, easy to converse with, considerate and very down to earth.

In the time that we had, we managed to get through quite a few various sets including a short duo session with Artemis at the end.

Whilst shooting Mike had a few ideas we wanted to achieve but was also very happy to hear my input and shoot some of my own. Together I believe we achieved wonderful results.

Really hope we are able to work together again in the future as not only did I feel very comfortable, we got along extremely well.

Most definitely highly recommended!

Thank you for a great experience.

I had the pleasure of working with mike on his trip to london last week. He is a very friendly gentleman who is relaxed to shoot with. We had a full day in studio where we experiamented with a number of different themes, Mike was undemanding with his choice of what to shoot and allowed me to freeflow and express myself withoutto omuch uncnecessary direction. He gave me aple time for breaks and plenty of oportunity to warm up, all in all it was a wonderful shoot and I would definitly recomend him. thanks a lot Mike.

I had a very lovely shoot with Mike recently at Sandon Studio! It was an absolute breeze. Mike is very professional and a good laugh. We ventured outside and took some beautiful shots, before coming back into the warmth to shoot some natural light images throughout the house. Mike is super chilled, chatty and considerate. I would happily work with him again. Thank you so much for a great shoot :-)

Mike booked some time with me during an event at Sandon Studio last weekend and we had a great shoot.

Mike was so laid back and such a lovely guy- we got a lot done in the time but also chatted and fitted in some bonus duo shots with Anna Rose too. Mike had ideas of his own but also let me suggest things and move us around the house, finding new locations.

The time flew by (sadly) but it was a really productive and enjoyable shoot.

I really hope Mike and I can shoot again one day, thank you, Mike :)

The only reason for the delay in getting a reference back to Mike is for the simple fact that there are so many lovely things to say about this photographer that it cannot be done in a rushed few sentences! A sensational shoot which I enjoyed so much that I could of easily shot for another 8 hours and not run out of enthusiasm... Mike is so easy to get along with and the images we were firing out on the back of the camera just kept that productive drive going at 100mph! :)

From the very start Mike's communications were a reflection of his utter professionalism; he described very clearly what he wanted to achieve making my prep work so easy. But at the same time he was thrilled to hear from me and share creative suggestions as well, I know from the early stages that I am going to thoroughly enjoy a shoot whereby the person shooting me welcomes model input as well. We made a fantabulous team for certain! :D So many different sets, beautiful variety and all the off-the-wall innovation to last us a week! We shot at Hallam Mill using both natural light as well as controlled... stunning results both ways.

The care and attention that he puts into his deserves every ounce of credit: Mike utilises the surroundings of a set so well and then some! He's working angles like there's no tomorrow and attentive to the light ensuring a beautiful finish to the images. A really technically talented gentleman whose got such a great eye for an image, I can't stress that enough.

So all in all; Mike has a heart of gold, he works so hard to get the very best out of the model in front of him photographically and he can chatter as much as me which is the icing on the cake! A seriously awesome gent and he was even so kind as to drive me all the way after we had finished to reduce the stress of rushing for trains! I am already seeing some gorgeous images go up from our shoot and would leap at the chance to shoot again soon!

Very highly recommended! Thank you so much Mike. :)

I had my first shoot with Mike and he was such a joy to work with! He is so lovely and I thoroughly enjoyed shooting with him. His comms were fantastic and he was very creative and enthusiastic.

This was my first shoot with mike, I can say he was very professional throughout the whole thing. He is lovely and accommodating to your needs. I hope we have an opportunity to do a shoot again in the near future.

This was the second time I have shot with Mike and like the first time, he was an absolute pleasure to work with.

Mike picked me up from my home and dropped me back off on both occasions, which was very good of him as I don't drive. Mike knew exactly what he wanted from me as a model, how to use the lighting to create the desired mood of the image and listened to my ideas and took them into account. He puts 100% into his photography and has gone to great lengths to make sure we both have images to be proud of.

Mike is funny, friendly, courteous, a complete gentleman with a great eye for his work and I would recommend him to anyone.

I can't wait to shoot with him again!

Thanks again, Mike :-).

I worked with Mike on a recent tour in Manchester. His pre comms were excellent and we organised a time to suit my travels. Mike came from Isle of Man to shoot me and Im so glad he came all the way.

He is such a sweet person, friendly, open, warm, professional and a true gentleman.

He brought me some home made candles which were beautiful and provided snacks and drinks!

We covered a range of things and he was happy to let me flow with my own ideas.

I thoroughly enjoyed my shoot with Mike and the images look fantastic :)

I look forward to shooting with him again at some point and he comes highly recommended from me.
