I had the pleasure to be Mike's first shoot back to model photography after a break, and what better way to start than with a Team Black Tuition course with myself and J Black! His pre shoot communications were excellent, well thought out and he answered any and all of my questions quickly.

During the shoot itself, he was polite and professional from the very beginning - conversation easily flowed and it was obvious he was eager to learn. He was attentive and asked questions to gain the most out of the tuition.

Mike was a pleasure to be around and his back of camera shots were fantastic, I'd highly recommend working with him and wouldn't hesitate to do so in the future :)

Thankyou for a fabulous shoot!

Mike took part in our Team Black tuition workshop today, and was an absolute pleasure to host. He asked great questions and took on board what I said throughout putting it into practise and being rewarded with great images.

He was easy to chat to and both having Nikon models meant we understood each other on a whole other level!

His attention to detail improved from the beginning as he took his time to frame and make the composition of the images as best they could be. He was a great photographer to host and work with and I would absolutely recommend him.

Thanks again!

It was a real pleasure to host Mike on his first shoot back to model photography, and we kicked it off with some tuition, working on a variety of things that Mike wished to focus on. The shoot was tailored to his specifications and the results he achieved were simply fantastic.

Communications were quick and effective, knowing exactly what Mike wished to achieve in only a few messages.

During the shoot itself, Mike was professional and friendly and conversation easily flowed. He took the time to really listen to the advice and began putting it into practice almost immediately, creating some truly stunning images from the offset.

Mike, it was a pleasure - thankyou so much for a really lovely shoot!

Team Black :)

Mike attended our countryside workshop last weekend in Wiltshire. Mike was great to work with, very easy going, good company throughout and also professional :)

Mike got some lovely shots and let me see the results from the back of the camera.

I would love to work with Mike again, thank you for a great shoot.

I answered a last minute casting call that Mike put out yesterday. Despite it being last minute Mike's pre-comms were fantastic.

The shoot was a tutorial day that Mike and his friend Russ were running for photography students.

Mike is very easy going, knowledgeable about lighting and photography techniques and made me feel completely at ease.

Thanks for a lovely afternoon!

Today i had the most fantastic day shooting with mike at a very derelict building ......

I felt over the moon when i was chosen to work with mike and i thoroughly enjoyed the whole day.

Mike is very easy going, has great conversation and made me feel totally relaxed in his company ..he was a perfect gentleman and a total professional.

Mikes skills as a photographer were very apparent today and he was happy to give me direction into the kind of poses and images he wanted to create .

Today really did go by far too fast and i wish we had had more time as there was so many opportunities in this building and i loved being in mikes company x

I highly recommend Mike to work with , you will have a great day shooting and i very much hope i get the opportunity to work with him again soon x

thanku for today

Mike booked on a group tutorial with Jon Downs and I at our local studio last Thursday.

Mike arrived early and was ready to go. He was friendly, chatty, total gentleman and had a fab sense of humour.

Mike got some cracking shots from the 4hr shoot and I wish I could have shot for longer.

Highly recommended by me

Thanks

Had a great first shoot with Mike last week at his studio in Gloucester. Upon arrival he was welcoming and made me feel at home.

He had some ideas already planned that he wanted to try and he bought another Photographer along, they both were easy to get on with and was good to see the images as we shot as they were tethered .

Mike is great to work with, gives direction when needed and likes to experiment with different lighting techniques.

Acted professionally and respectful and i would highly recommend him and look forward to working with him again next year sometime.

thanks again :)

Had a great shoot with Mike a few weeks ago now.

Mike had a great small studio to work from, lot's of back drops and lots of space.

Mike is a great professional and friendly photographer, felt at ease as soon as we met, photos looked great. He knew exactly what he wanted form the shoot and hopefully he got it!

Couldn't recommend a more lovely photographer than Mike, so thank you for working with me.

I worked with Mike on a studio shoot for the third time last night, We tried out lots of different lighting and techniques and i must say Mike's knowledge on photography and lighting is improving greatly, and from what i could see the pics were coming out fantastic. Mike is such a friendly guy, easy to talk to and fun to work with. Looking forward to our next shoot

I worked with Mike again briefly at the Pixel 8 location group shoot. This was Mikes first time doing an event like this, and he handled it really well, took it in his stride and was'nt afraid to try out his own ideas.

Lovely guy, again recommended by me :)

Had a shoot with Mike today at Full Moon Studio. Mike was very friendly and very easy to work with. Came along with plenty of ideas and knew exactly what images he was aiming for. Mike is new to model photography but you wouldnt have thought it...the photos were fantastic and the lighting was spot on. A genuinely nice guy and great fun to work with. Would love to work with Mike again.

Highly Recommended by me.

Thanks again Mike x

After meeting Mike at a group shoot a few months ago, I was delighted to work with him in a dedicated booking at Upper Mills Studio -- and once again, it was a real pleasure. Mike gives great direction and feedback, and is one of those photographers you love to work with because he's got specific ideas that he wants to capture but he's very welcoming of model input, so he's happy to go with the flow and wander off the beaten track! His communications are excellent, he's a genuinely friendly chap and he's brilliantly accommodating -- I very much enjoy shooting with him and look forward to doing so again!
