This was my 2nd shoot with Mike, which we had been trying to organise since last September. Finally managed it with Mike travelling up here to Yorkshire.

Pre comes were great, so we both new what to expect and can I say what a thoroughly pro photographer he is? Ideas flowed between us and a thoroughly enjoyable couple of hours flew by.

I have no hesitation in recommending Mike to anyone wishing to add some fab images to their port.

Thanks Mike

I had an impromptu photoshoot for a spa in Birmingham with Mike on the summer. He was shooting new images for the spa , using some of the members visiting the club, and I remarked that I was a photographic model, and he added me into the shoot. I was delighted that the spa decided to use one of mikes images of me , ( along with three other peoples images) to be displayed on the wall inside the spa. Mike is a lovely relaxed person to work with , respectful of levels, and happy to let the model pose, as well as make suggestions of his own, and id recommend him to other models for photoshoots.

Fabulous to shoot with Mike again. We've shot together a few times now & I know we'll always get some great images.

Mike is super company, full of ideas & creativity & although shooting in the cottage was challenging in many ways he rose to the occasion!

A cup of tea, bit of chat & a laugh, & a chilled time exploring the cottage & it's options. As ever, Mike was professional, friendly & relaxed. His style is very collaborative with model & photographer working together to get super images - some ideas work, some don't, but it's great to be able to try & see what we come up with. Looking at the back of the camera I think we did really well!

A pleasure as always Mike, until next time .... :-)

Really great studio shoot, my first time in a professional studio. Mike gave excellent direction to get the shot he wanted. He was very open to me bringing outfits and any ideas I had during the shoot. I felt very comfortable with him. I saw some of the shots as we went along and they looked great.

This was my first shoot with Mike today and I couldn't have met a nicer man.

Mike was extremely professional from start to finish, We shot in fields and woodland local to me, Mike throughout the morning made sure I was comfortable 1st and foremost! I can't stress how much easier this made our shoot, it felt more like a catch up with a friend and that we'd shot before! Not only is Mike extremely warm and hospitable he's fantastic at what he does, his eye for detail and endless ideas it was nothing short of a pleasure to work with him and I'm sure we will get some great images from this shoot!

A great photographer, would definitely love to shoot with him again, and is highly recommended.

It's with great pleasure I say thank you for all of the hard work and artistry Mike brought to a shoot with skycladpixie and myself at a World War 2 camp outside Evesham in Worcestershire on Sunday April 10th.

Mike laid the foundation for a successful venture with excellent comms, while his clear direction resulted in a very successful day for all of us. I can only offer Mike very best wishes for the future and sincerely look forward to us working together again in the not too distant future.

Yet another fabulous shoot with Mike today, this time at the WWII Camp along with Il Gattopardo. Shoots with Mike are always fun & creative & a true collaboration, it's great to be able to bounce ideas off each other & try things, sometimes they work, sometimes not, but that's what makes it fun!

Mike had his hands full considering this was a duo shoot but he was brilliant at giving direction to both of us.

The images we were getting look great & I'm really looking forward to seeing them. I think we got some cracking shots!

As always Mike was great company, respectful & enthusiastic.

Highly recommended, of course, here's to the next one. Thank you so much Mike!

My second shoot with Mike was in Gloucester Prison which was an amazing location. Mike's directions were perfect and we met on time - and even met a few familiar faces there!

We did not over plan the day but explored the Prison to find locations that gave different opportunities for light and surroundings. Mike was both patient and enthusiastic as well, of course, as being considerate and respectful throughout.

It was a long shoot - and not a warm one! But we had so much fun that the time flew by and I really enjoyed myself. The resulting images look fantastic and will be a great reminder of one of the best shoots I have ever had.

I totally recommend Mike to anyone lucky enough to shoot with him. Thank you Mike for an amazing and unforgettable day! x

Aatish Studio

Nice to have seen Mike back again at the studio.

Came to his shoot well prepared and full of ideas which were executed very well with the model.

The model got on very well with Mike as will all others that work with him.

Recommended to all.

This was my first shoot with Mike. It went very well. Communication leading up to the shoot was good. Mike knew what he wanted and was also open to ideas. He was very professional and easy to work with.

I would recommend.

Crossroads Studio

Mike visited the studio and had his model with him.

They were shooting mainly natural light and Mike was quite happy to be left to get along with his shoot.

Mike and his model seemed to have a great rapport and appeared to be having a good shoot.

I found Mike to be very pleasant and polite and I’d be more than happy to see him at the studio again.

Wow, that was one shoot that was really worth the wait, and we did, from the start of the first lockdown!!

What ghat meant though was that we were really well acquainted by the time of the shoot, sending ideas and images of the stuff we liked.

Mike travelled up from Birmingham, which made me feel quite humble that he was prepared to travel all that way to shoot me!

The shoot itself was in 2 parts, the 1st portraits in a wood on the way to the studio, crossroads in Keighley.

The 2nd in the studio, a mixture of clothed and nude. The 3 hours flew by, with me picking up a lot of posing tips from Mike along ghe way.

He worked tirelessly, one minute laid on the floor, the next half wY up a ladder! The results are worth it though, as I've seen some of the in camera pics, which look awesome.

A great talented photographer book him soon, you won't be disappointed

New Upper Mills Studios

I was delighted to host Mike in the studio earlier this week. Once set up he was happy to do his own thing and he built a very good rapport with his model very quickly. Very respectful and polite, I have no hesitation is recommending Mike to all. I would happily welcome him back to the studio again.

I Look forward to seeing what he created!

Our fifth shoot together I think, which in itself is recommendation enough!

This time we shot at Gloucester Prison & Mike was quick to see the opportunities & make the best use of our time there.

Mike is a lovely person to work with & I always enjoy our time together, shoots flow & we bounce ideas off each other, it's a very collaborative way to work.

I sincerely hope we do many more shoots together & we are already exploring ideas for our next one.

Thank you so much Mike, it was a pleasure & so lovely to see you again. Until next time, thank you!

A belated note to say thank you for all of the hard work and artistry Mike brought to our shoot in the gothic Warstone Lane cemetery in Birmingham's historic Jewellery Quarter on a blustery Saturday morning last year.

Mike laid the foundation for a successful venture with excellent comms, while his clear direction resulted in a very successful day for both of us. I can only offer Mike very best wishes for the future and sincerely look forward to us working together on another shoot in the not too distant future. Thanks again Mike - you come highly recommended from me.
