Mike attended mine, Artemis Fauna and Ivory Flame's recent Bohemian in Bloom event.

It was great to meet Mike and shoot, it was a very enjoyable hour :) Even though the shoot was short we still got some lovely images as well as having a good laugh, Mike was so relaxed and fun.

I look forward to working with Mike soon in person.

Thank you for being apart of our remote event.

Where to start?? :)

I applied to Mike’s casting call and I have been lucky enough he replied positively.

Communication was excellent, clear and prompt. The shoot took Place at Flirt Studio, in Harlow.

Mike is a professional and passionate photographer with an exquisite personality! A joyful soul, creative, respectful and friendly. He made me feel very welcomed and I absolute adored shooting with him.

We worked through different ideas and style, from portraits using natural light to art nude body shapes. Mike has great eyes for creating beautiful images. When needed he was giving useful direction in order to achieve the best results possible.

The time flew by, ton of laughs and a truly enjoyment. We create lots of amazing images and wow!! Very happy from the first edits he made. Can’t wait to see what more magic he will make!

I would work with Mike again with no doubts and I would recommend working with him 100%, you will have for sure a productive and fun time!

Grazie mille Mike! È stato un vero piacere, spero a presto! :)

Artemis Fauna

Mike booked a place on the recent Bohemian Bloom REMOTE event with myself, Carla Monaco and Ivory Flame.

It was a thoroughly enjoyable hour! I made sure that each and every person who booked a slot with me got something different so no outfit was repeated- it was a challenge, but I managed it!

It was lovely to work with Mike again on a remote event, so laid back and easy going! :D

Such a wonderful event with amazing people. Thank you SO much Mike for booking a place with us- I can't wait to see some of the results.

Ivory Flame

I enjoyed a remote shoot with Mike during our Bohemian Bloom event (with Artemis and Carla). It was only an hour but he was friendly, professional and considerate. We produced some gorgeous images in that time and he contributed his own ideas into this collaborative way of working. Hope to work in person some time :-) Thanks Mike!

There aren't enough words to describe all gorgeousness of the shoot with Mike. It was the best organised and the most enjoyable shoot ever. Mike has incredible personality, he is very easy-going,the smartest man I ever met, so the communication was very enjoyable and interesting. His friend Den,another photographer, also is very great to work with. We had amazing shoot all together.There was a lot of laughter, we managed to create gorgeous photos. Looking forward to shoot with Mike again.

I simply love working with Mike.

We had our second shoot yesterday and this was so great. He responded on short notice and came to my place to make the most out of the space we have. Fun and relaxed, good results. Then we went to the park to take more pictures and enjoy a coffee and a slice of cake in the sun. Such a beautiful day in good company.

Thank you so so much Mike, it's such a pleasure to chat with you. I enjoyed everything about our shoot and I looooove the b&w picture you already posted! This is so me :)

I hope we'll do this again!

I had an awesome remote shoot with Mike which was excellent. Having worked with Mike twice before I knew it would be a great shoot. Mike is friendly, chatty and easy going and comes highly recommended :)

Artemis Fauna

I had a super productive and creative remote shoot with Mike last week using my set up here at my home studio.

I was due to meet Mike last year on one of the Artemisian trips, but sadly- this all had to be postponed! Despite this we arranged a remote for our first shoot instead and it couldn't have gone better!

As has been said all along, remote shoots are not a replacement for 'in person shoots' but, as has been proved now over and over- they are a fabulous and creative alternative while we are unable to shoot face to face.

I loved the results from this shoot and really enjoyed embracing some of the more experimental stuff too- born from an accident, a happy accident! Love the blur! Haha.

Looking forward to having another amazing shoot with Mike at some point in the not too distant future- whether that's a remote again or FINALLY in some sunshine on the Island of Lanzarote! :) Thank you so much!! :D

I had the great pleasure of working with Mike on his first remote shoot yesterday.

Pre-shoot comms were great and I found Mike really easy to deal with with regards to shoot planning etc. At the beginning of the shoot we got connected but had a few issues with chatting over the phone, Mike was very patient and we eventually managed to rectify the situation. It was my first time shooting in my new home in Cyprus and it was great to be able to explore the shoot possibilities with Mike. We produced some fantastic images and I look forward to sharing some of them soon.

Thanks Mike for a fantastic shoot and for all your patience!

Highly recommend

Many words of praise for this talented man! Mike is a top gent, top creative and most lovely to shoot with. He brought biscuits which is always a winner (Y) with perfect pre and post comms, I knew exactly what to expect.

Mike has lots of interesting topics to chat about, as well as plentyful ideas, letting me throw some in sometimes too! Together we created a tonne of sets and my word do I love his processing. The images are wonderful.

I think I'm doing a good job of selling this photographer, no? Work with him - he's super awesome!! He shared the photos with me too. And I shared them because they're epic. Thank you Mike, would be an honour to shoot with you whenever :-D

Had a shoot with Mike around Regent’s Park. I got some great pics within a couple of days from the shoot. And he even treated me to lunch afterwards.

Thanks again

You know this feeling when you get home after a shoot and you are so tired but so inspired and calmly satisfied inside?... That's the feeling I got after my long trip to Colchester. And you know what... I do not regret spending all this time at all! I loved everything about this small trip and all thanks to this amazing man!

To start with, Mike is such an interesting person. I had a pleasure to have a chance to talk with him and I definitely got some very good life lessons from those talks. But most importantly, Mike has this huge passion for learning and creating amazing pictures that just can't leave you indifferent. It would give you so much inspiration and passion as a model so you would want to keep working on the highest level of your skills!

We had a studio fashion shoot with Mike and Tan Tidswell,shot loads of different styles and had so much fun! Mike has so many ideas and sees the shot so clearly as he was navigation my posing perfectly! He is very good in communicating with model which I find a very important ability photographer must have in order to succeed with the result! Studio he chose had all the professional equipment we needed to create amazing high quality results.

I left studio with amazing feeling of energy and passion and all thanks to Mike! If you ever get a chance to work with him - use it! You will nor just get some amazing pictures (Which I am absolutely in love with by the way!) but also will guarantee yourself fun productive time that is worth any travelling and time in the world!

Mike, thank you so so much for this amazing time and I really hope I will be able to enjoy myself working with you some time in the future again.

Recommended, recommended and one more time... RECOMMENDED!

I had my second shoot with Mike in a studio set, and I absolutely loved it. He is a fun person to be around and a quick learner. He has a good eye for details and he is very easy to communicate with. I can't say anything different than my first review of him. 100% recommended. :)

Working with Mike was very easy and he is an endlessly motivated photographer. We had a beautiful, sunny day in Rochester and I had a really fun time shooting with him. Not only a great photographer, but he is also a pleasant company and 100% you’ll love the pictures if you work with him. I can only recommend!!

Last week we had a shoot with Mike in Loft studio with Dan.

It was super creative, beautiful and full of fun 4 hours! I couldn’t stop laughing and was feeling really welcomed there.

Mike offered me to stay the day before the shoot at his house, which was lovely and convenient for me, because i was traveling from London. Mike and his wife Debbie kindly offered me everything i needed at that time, which was super lovely of them to do that.

Next day Mike took me to the shoot, it was very hot day, God bless the AC, so survived. Mike was shooting and playing with day light, which was great. Dan was helping him, also shooting me for a little. It was very interesting experience, we used a window for a shoot and day light, which was very beautiful, created some beautiful body’s capes and portraits.

From all written above you can see that Mike is such a legend and sweetheart, also a great photographer who know how to use the day light and his camera, which is amazing! And I would love to work with him again!

Can’t wait to see all the pictures and choose some good ones for purpleport. Really proud pf our work.

Great second shoot with Mike!

He kindly paid me in advance during lockdown which was super helpful and I was looking forward to our reorganised shoot at The Loft studio with Dan Tidswell assisting.

Mike shot some awesome images, was engaged, chatty and I really enjoyed it.

Highly recommended

Had a great shoot with Mike today, finally after having to postpone it due to covid... the weather even held out for us and was stunning in the end!

We didn’t have much planned so winged it and actually turned out to be the best idea, loving some of the images I have seen so far and the time honestly just flew by!

I would highly recommend working with Mike if you haven’t already, and hope that we get the chance to work together again sometime.

Absolutely love working with Mike...

I recommend Mike to all models...always very respectful towards me...

One thing I really love about Mike is he is always smiling...

Mike is easy to be around, chatty, fun and adventurous (Mike found some amazing parts to the forest including a really beautiful pathway)...

Mike showed me the images from the back of the camera and I really do love most of them haha...

Time goes very quick when your with Mike especially when he tells you about what he does for a living...really interesting!

Thank you Mike for a really lovely morning...
