Finally enacted our shoot which was a year in the making, and really moved and glad that Mike held out to work with me because he is one of my new favourite people to work with.

Very kind, creative and generous personality that would put any model at ease instantly.

Works in a calm but focused way, and has a wonderful attitude towards models, the art, and the concept at hand.

Had excellent conversation inbetween shooting, felt I could be open and honest with him just after the first meeting. Was polite when I served a less than appetising salad for a meal break mid shoot. 😅

Looking forward to seeing what we created, and hope we get another chance to work together in the future.

Recommended to all!

Another fantastic shoot with Mike.

Mike is a dream to work with, creative, fun and creates timeless results. Mike is constantly stepping up his game, and it’s being an honour to be apart of his photography journey over the years.

Unbelievable photographer and a great friend!

Highly recommended by me.

If you get the opportunity to work with Mike you must do it!

The Apex Studio (Telford)

Mike booked the studio to work with Ashleigh Rae

He arrived on time & was easy to chat to.

Mike is an experienced photographer & needed no help with the lighting & knew exactly what he was looking for.

he has worked with Ashleigh a number of times before & they worked really well together throughout the shoot.

Highly recommended.

Today was my third shoot with Mike this time in a hotel in my home town of Peterborough. Thank you for making the trip.

As always our banter flowed. After a while we decided we really should get some work done. Lol.

We had sent each other lots of images we wanted to use as inspiration but put our own stamp on. Which we did and got through a huge range/style/outfit changes and experimented with shall we say “product placement”.

Love shooting with Mike he is a pleasure to work with and I’d recommend him to anyone.

Can’t wait to show you all what we created this time.

Thank you for a great shoot. Till the next one keep smiling and being awesome.

I had a wonderful first shoot with Mike, he was incredibly respectful of myself, my home and my intrusive little cat!

He was very easy to get along with, had a whole host of great ideas and the talent to back them up.

I would recommend Mike to models of all levels, thank you for a great shoot!

Second time shooting with Mike and it just gets better each time! Mike is easy to get along with, super professional and produces great images. It's always great working with a professional like Mike and with it being our second shoot, we were able to work through many looks and settings with ease. Highly recommend and hope to work with him again :)

I had a great first shoot with Mike, Pre-comms were great, he was lovely company, super professional and I loved the pics we created! He brought lots of equipment and created a great atmosphere for the shoot, highly recommend!

I just had my second shoot with Mike but this time at his home studio. It consisted of mainly fashion, a little Easter and high and low light photography.

As always pre-comms was fantastic and we quickly settled on our theme. Having seen the back of the camera I’m so excited to show the images to the world.

We laughed a lot and chatted throughout. Mike is so much fun to work with. He is so creative and professional.

Really can’t wait to shoot with him again and would recommend him to anyone.

Thank you for such a fun day.

Todays hotel shoot was the time I had shot with Mike and what a pleasure it was.

Our theme was fashion and boudoir with a few exciting ideas thrown in for good measure. We mainly stuck to low light and black and white.

Mikes pre-comms were amazing. He was an absolute gentleman throughout and I instantly felt at ease. He is a really chatty guy and it helped we both have the same taste in music. We rocked the day away.

I’d love to work with Mike again and would recommend any model works with him.

Thank you for such a fun day

Got to shoot for the first time with Mike at a recent event at Montrose Studios. Mike was very friendly upon approach and very easy to talk to making him great to work with and making the shoot flow nicely! I only got to work with him for a brief amount of time but even from that I was able to see how creative he is and that he has some great ideas!

From what I’ve seen so far, the images are so beautiful! I would recommend working with him and I look forward to shooting with him again in the future! Thank you Mike.

I've worked with Mike three times now and this was no different.

I worked with Mike at a recent group shoot organised by D&E Events. Mike was professional, friendly and awesome to work with - like usual! Due to already having a great working relationship, we got some fabulous images in the short slot we had together.

The day was ran wonderfully and social distancing was in place were possible. We got on and by the end of the day everyone involved had got to know one another and I felt like it was well worth the trip to Stockport. I hope to work alongside/with Mike again very soon.

Worked with Mike last month at a group event, was really lovely to finally meet him after admiring his work for a long time! He was so easy to get on with, made me feel extremely comfortable and we definitely got some real beautiful photos together!

I had the pleasure of shooting with Mike yesterday at his home studio & I had the best time!

He was so professional & thorough with the pre-communication, demonstrating exactly what he was hoping to achieve in photos & providing me with a list of the types of clothes to shoot in.

Upon meeting, Mike was really welcoming and friendly, the studio is really comfortable to work in, warm enough & plenty of space, also- fab music!

I knew exactly what to expect and had a really great time shooting with Mike, he was so much fun and a really lovely person to work with- I definitely hope to shoot with him again in the future.

The photos I’ve seen so far are absolutely wonderful- truly fantastic photographer. :)

Worked with Mike for the first time on Thursday and we had a great time.

His pre-comms were great so I knew what to bring and what we were doing when we got there! He was very welcoming and offered us tea/coffee and made me feel at ease.

We went with the flow and created some great portraits on a vary of backgrounds in his home studio.

I felt relaxed through and would love to return again :) highly recommended from me.
