Yet another wonderful shoot with Mike, it’s always such a pleasure. Mike comes full of ideas and a moodboard which makes life really easy for me to gauge his visions and prep accordingly. We chatted before the shoot to discuss the plan of action and covered a multitude of creative sets whilst having a giggle at the same time. I always enjoy working with Mike he’s a very enthusiastic photographer with great ideas and the chat flows perfectly. I hope there will be more shoots in the future and I can wholeheartedly recommend Mike to any models looking to work with him 😊

I recently had a wonderful shoot with Mike along with Stephen. They paired up together and came up with some great ideas utilising the studio and outside space. There was some really creative ideas in the mix and it was an absolute pleasure to work alongside them. Mike has a clear passion for photography and executes each image so well. He is a joy to model for and I can whole heartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a fun, friendly photographer who goes to great lengths to get those great shots. Thanks again Mike for another wonderful shoot 😊

Another great shoot with Mike!

We explored a range of locations and I hope got some portraits he is happy with. Not only is Mike a great photographer but an excellent person to bounce creative ideas with and his company is a pleasure. I felt at ease right away and like we could both have great input into the shoot.

Thank you Mike!

I just had my first shoot with Mike, after excellent planning and re-comms’ for a few months. Mike had shown great patience and understanding, with me having to delay our shoot because of working away in Wales but we managed to fit it in easily on my return.

Mike was an absolute delight to work with in every respect. He was so professional, respectful and considerate and a true gentleman and also fun too. His experience as a great photographer really shone through with his keen eye for the right detail and settings and with his gentle guidance on suggestions for ideas with poses. We are already planning our next shoot and I am excited for what we will create together.

Mike attended my Devon shoot. Whilst I have not worked with him on a 121 basis I can confirm that he is lovely, polite and respectful towards the models and a joy to have along. Welcome back anytime!

Another fantastic shoot with Mike during my visit in the SW.

Always a pleasure to work with, every shoot is compeltly different to the last keeping ideas flowing.

Mike has great vision, ideas and concepts, and even brought along a few styling props.

Highly recommended by me, and looking forward to seeing the results.

Thanks Mike

Today I had my first (and hopefully not my last) shoot with the very lovely Mike!

Mike got in touch several weeks back to arrange a shoot. He bought to the table some amazing and creative ideas! (It really does make a difference when someone has a vision of what they want to achieve) and he was very well prepared right down to the outfits he’d seen in my port that he’d like to use. His pre comms were second to none despite him being poorly on the build up to it. On the shoot he was equally as amazing, he bought along props, his ideas and most importantly fun! I had a wonderful time today shooting for 4 hours and was made up when he suggested music for the duration which was all fitting to the styles I was modelling. Mike is a really lovely guy, professional, down to earth and an absolute joy to model for. I had a blast and I love what I’ve seen on the back of the camera. Good luck filtering through the 1003 shots we took on multiple sets! 100% recommended by me. Thank you for a fantastic shoot 😊

Mike is one of the loveliest people you could hope to meet. A true gentleman, filled with good ideas and stories! I felt at ease the entire shoot and think we bounced ideas off each other very well to create a wide variety of images at the locations we shot at. It was our second shoot and we were blessed with much better weather this time around which was fantastic. Mike is a great photographer who really understands composition and getting the details right. I look forward to working with Mike again and wouldnt hesitate to recommend him!

I shot with Mike on a remote shoot last week for a a few hours.

Mike had laid out a very clear and concise shoot plan- which was a great help to me as it meant I could be fully prepared for the shoot and make sure I am on the same page ideas wise! :)

We shot though most of the ideas we had which was great- but also have some ideas left for another time too.

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.

The shoot flew by and I am very pleased with the results! I enjoyed shooting a variety of styles.

I really hope we can shoot again one day- remotely or in person! :D

Thank you so much Mike :)

Ive worked with Mike many of times in the past and always loved our shoots. Unfortunately due to first me relocating and then Mike, it became impossible for us to do any more due to the distance between us.

We still kept in touch however and today, because of the new option of remote shooting, it became possible for us to shoot together again.

Let me tell you a little about Mike.

A gentleman through and through, he is an absolute joy to work with, funny, considerate, thoughtful a great sense of humour and wickedly sharp wit!

Shooting with Mike is always enjoyable. Very knowledgeable, very thorough and he gives consideration to every eventuality, especially models safety on location shoots. You couldn't be in safer hands. I can't recommend him enough.

Thank you Mike xx

I did a socially distanced shoot with Mike and the first thing I’d like to say is that his communication prior to the shoot was impeccable! The detail in his messages made me feel confident that we’d create great images together! Mike arrived on time, was super friendly and we had a fun time on the shoot. He came with props, he had great ideas and made me feel at ease with his chatting. I received the images today! A very speedy turnaround for images, so thank you Mike, I would recommend you 100%!

Mike is an extremely well organised photographer who gets the details of any shoot exactly right. From the overall shoot plan to encapsulating his creative ideas into practice on actual shoot day.

What fun we had! Our 2nd time of working together and extremely enjoyable.

Mike has boundless energy to create the right shot. Lots of equipment to do so and makes the resulting hours go quickly.

Thank you again Mike.

Loved the results, and until the next one, I'm really happy with the edits of this successful shoot.

Suzy Monty

Well, this particular shoot was FOUR months in the making, as Mike was organising to move down to Cornwall from Warrington.

Some things are worth waiting for.

He is absolutely excellent at preshoot corresponding.

The format and shoot plan were extremely well documentated.

Loved the previous work on Mike's portfolio, so knew I was in safe photographic hands.

We finally set a date after Mike had actually moved to Cornwall.

Mike was right on time at our pre-agreed meeting point to go onto the studio setup.

Found him easy to talk to and extremely well organised with the props we had discussed previously.

So we set to work and the time just flew by.

A very enjoyable shoot overall, and some good images out of it. Absolutely loved the first sample edit he sent through, which he asked my opinion on before submitting to me the final edit, and look forward to more.

I highly recommend Mike as a photographer.

Thank you so much Mike for a super shoot, and look forward to working with you again.

Mike had excellent communication prior to the shoot ensuring we had many options and ideas to choose through when it got to the day. He was prepared to face the windy and drizzly weather to persevere and get some rather rugged meets sophisticated interesting shots! I would not hesitate to recommend mike who is a total gentle man and put me at ease with interesting conversation and ideas throughout. I look forward to hopefully working with him again in the future (in better weather fingers crossed!).

My second time working with Mike - another lovely shoot.

Easy to work with and well planned (even though last minute)

Recommended by me.

Thank you :-)

Becky Kvittems

Mike responded to a tf casting call I had made. Communication was excellent, detailed and thorough. Mike had scoped out the locations beforehand, which meant that a lot of time was saved on the actual day and permission was already granted to use museum spaces. He came prepared for the weather and well organised.

The shoot was lovely and easy to do. Mike is great to work with and very knowledgable. I got sample images to view very quickly and the edited images came back speedily. I highly recommend working with Mike.

I had the most lovely shoot with Mike this week.

Pre comms were great, Mike was clear in his vision and what he expected from the shoot and made it really easy to plan our ideas to shoot from my house.

Mike was very accommodating when I had to put the shoot back by an hour and arrived full of beans with all his kit bang on time and was warm and friendly chatty and so easy to talk to.

We planned our looks and a schedule including a lunch break and flew through a fair few looks.

Mike was very accommodating allowing me to view shots on camera and taking my ideas on board also.

The time flew by and we worked really well together, highly recommended, a great photographer and fantastic at lighting, Thanks again for a wonderful shoot.

Ashleigh Rae

I was lucky enough to work with Mike, after he responded to one of my casting.

Top pre comms - extremely clear.

We instantly clicked and I was made to feel very welcome with a consistent great atmosphere and lots of 5* cups of tea! 4hrs flew by!

Mike is full of creative ideas, and has a lovely style. I think that we got some lovely images!

Highly recommended by me and hope to work with again soon.

Mike attended my Tomb Raider outdoor workshop yesterday.

As always his comms were fabulous and he even agreed to be my transport to the shoot location, which was fabulous!.. .

I have worked with Mike many times now, I can't remember the exact amount but it's a few, its always a pleasure working with Mike. We certainly have a giggle and get some wonderful images.

He was comfortable working with the other attendees and was more than happy to get stuck in helping with reflectors and making sure everyone got shots they were happy with.

The shots that Mike got himself were fabulous and he also came up with some brilliant suggestions. I'm very much looking forward to seeing what he creates from the shots!...

Another recommendation from me, I find Mike to be a genuinely lovely person and a talented, creative photographer!

Thanks again Mike!

Mike is easily one of my favourite people to work with, time flies by when you’re having fun! And we ALWAYS have fun! From an endless supply of Jaffa cakes and cool quirky props, Mike is a stand out photographer to work with because he always brings his A game and makes every shoot super creative. I’ve not just made a fun regular client but a firm friend in Mike as we keep in touch 😊 he really is a genuinely lovely gentleman as well as a respectful and out of the box creative.

I’ve loved every shoot with Mike and we’ve always tried something new and fun.

Always highly recommended to models of all levels by me.

Best wishes

Marie
