Today i had the pleasure of shooting with Mike at Rochester studios and Rochester castle! His photography, which he’s being doing for a long time, is excellent and shows how his skill has grown over years of experience. He’s a nice, polite and respectful understanding guy - and i highly recommend him!

It's always great fun working with Mike, he came up with the idea of a halloween shoot doing Harley Quinn and the Joker and I just loved it he even organised a super talented makeup artist so it all just came together perfectly and was super fun!!!

Would highly recommend, and look forward to working together more in the future.

It is always a pleasure shooting with Mike. He calls himself a 'keen amateur' in his typical self-depreciating style, but he is actually a fantastic photographer. He has that style where he sets up a theme and situation, and then lets the creativity flow, always open to try something new. He's a real gent and always easy to work with. I cannot recommend him too highly.

I was invited by Mike to a shoot at a bespoke location where i'd try and resemble Alan Rickman (as Severus Snape, in particular) - there were a lot of people there in a small space but Mike managed things really well, organised everything smoothly and we got some great shots. We went outside and did some good work despite the weather. He also arranged catering, it was nice to be fed!

Great second shoot with Mike. Kind as always and I'm always satisfied with the outcome. Mike was on time and very professional as always.

Angel Black UK

My first shoot with Mike and it was an absolute delight! He booked on as part of a duo studio day with myself and Hattie Grace in Studio300, Rochester. His pre shoot communications were great, responding well to my questions and then providing me with some styling suggestions to bring.

During the shoot itself, he was polite, professional and friendly and we jumped straight into the shoot and worked our way around the various set possibilities in the studio and gelled together instantly. I felt respected by Mike at all times and I felt very comfortable working with him.

Mike is very happy adjusting his camera settings as and when needed and knew what he wanted light wise. He's got a great eye for photography which is clear to see and hes got a great rapport with the models he works with.

I'd highly recommend Mike and look forward to shooting with him again.

Thankyou for an amazing shoot!

I was very pleased to hear that Mike had booked to shoot with Angel and I at our duo studio day at Studio300. I’ve worked with Mike many times before and he is a real gentleman, easy to get along with and a true creative. He directs very well and let us collaborate on ideas throughout our shoot. We had a great shoot, lots of variety and great chat along the way.

Very much recommended by me and I hope to shoot again soon :)

AJ the Model

It was pleasure to meet Mike and shoot with him for the first time. We did a variety of styles, one with a Male model Nick Wong doing a Japanese-Korean themed set and many others. Mike had an amazing MUA (Alex) in and she did a lovely job on Nick and I.

Looking forward to seeing the results.

Mike is a talented and personable photographer who I had the pleasure of working with in London. We explored several locations during our shoot, and he was incredibly accommodating and fun to be around. His friendly demeanor helped me feel relaxed and confident in front of the camera. I would happily collaborate with Mike again on future projects.😁✨✨✨

Mike and I had our first shoot, what a great photographer to work with. Very polite, easy to get along with, good with direction. He had plenty of ideas, colours and backdrops to work with whilst on location. I thoroughly enjoyed shooting fashion. It was fun.

Looking forward to working with Mike again soon. Highly recommend. 🙏🏻

First shoot yesterday with Mike. A perfect gentleman. I look forward to our next shoot together. Mike is punctual, courteous and makes the model feel at ease. He has great ideas for atomaspheric photos & creativity. Highly recommended. Thank you Mike..see you again.

Kate Douglas

Mike was very formative about location of the shoot. Details were discussed and a mood board was created to work with when we were shooting. Mike was kind and genuine and provided me with a safe space to feel comfortable in. We work together very well and created some beautiful pictured moments. Mike offered his prints in return for my time. I'd recommend Mike to all models as he can help newbies with angles and great shots. Thanks for the great pics Mike!

Hattie Grace

I had another fantastic shoot with Mike earlier this week at Rochester Studios and I am blown away by the photos he took! Mike sent me some reference images beforehand and we discussed ideas and what items we needed for the shoot. It was so refreshing to try something different and I loved modelling in different hats and gloves! Mike is brilliant when it comes to lighting and knows exactly what he is after and how to achieve it. He gave me great direction but also allowed me to give my own ideas and input into the shoot too. He came prepared with items of clothing for me to wear and I particularly loved the steampunk jacket! A thoroughly enjoyable shoot with a very professional, respectful and lovely photographer who I cannot recommend enough! If you haven’t worked with Mike yet then you’re missing out big time! Thank you for a wonderful shoot :)
