Had the pleasure of meeting and photographing Mick this week. From reaching out to me with the kind offer of allowing himself to be used as a model for me to practice, through to two very patient shoots, an initial informal one at my house so we could bounce ideas and plan for the proper shoot yesterday at Silkwood studio, Mick has been great. He is very patient and relaxed, is very happy to self-pose but also willing to try poses if suggested. I don’t think my first male shoot could have gone any better – Thanks Mick!

Today we've attended in photoshoot. Mick is the person with nice attitude. He is very friendly and professional.

I had a brilliant shoot with Mick today, He is such a great guy and a great model and photographer.

The location was the Allen brickworks near Halifax which is full of superb graffiti, as Silkscarf photographer I took many images in the many various outfits he brought and Mick took over as photographer and I posed against many of the magnificent murals.

At one point we were joined by an ite restated spectator who spent a lot of time watching us both and was very encouraging in his comments.

Overall it was a fantastic shoot and we came away with many great images, thank you Mick for a fantastic afternoon.

This was my second shoot with Mick, building on the first that was Alcon very successful.

Second shoots require some careful planning to ensure it's not simply a repeat of the first, and to help with this, Mick arranged for us to have access to a local cottage that provided some great backdrops and natural lighting.

Mick was well prepared for the shoot, bringing a range of clothes and props with him, and the rest was for us to be creative.

Thank you Mick for a great shoot with some gritty portraits and creative natural light.

Highly recommended.

Another brilliant portrait drawing session at Keighley Creative's Tuesday afternoon Life and Portrait Group with Mick.

Such a gentleman and great to draw. Mick sat still but completely relaxed for us and came with two wonderful hats to enhance the drawing. He is really flexible and dead easy to work with as he really knows what he is doing.

As always he turned up well before time, was great with communications before and during and was wonderful to work with. I'm looking forward to him coming back again.

Highly recommended.

Two hour life drawing session for a life drawing group.

Comms perfect all the way through, Mick arrived on time and fully prepared for the session. He was able to hold a pose in a variety of positions (standing sitting and lying) with no difficulty for up to 20 minutes.

Great model and thoroughly recommended.

Fabulous two hour portrait drawing session with Mick today.

This is the second time that I have worked with him. Last time was life drawing.

Great clear communications prior to the session. Turned up on time and was a perfect model throughout. He is polite, courteous, easy to work with and can follow instructions about what you want him to do.

All in all a great model and thoroughly recommended.

Another interesting and entertaining shoot with Mick yesterday.

After a quick chat we got into the shoot and rattled off a number of lighting and costume changes all of which Mick handled with ease. Always a bonus for the photographer when the model understands what you are trying to achieve and produces the look you are after.

As in our previous encounter Mick hit the mark every time, first rate model and interesting subject. Highly recommended.

Had another great shoot with Mick yesterday. Although we have worked together on several occasions now, this was the first time back in the studio for some time. We planned an opportunity to experiment with lights, poses and atmosphere.

As usual, pre-comms were great and we both had a good idea of what we were trying to achieve before we started. Mick arrived on time and was ready to proceed from the very beginning. Due to our ideas of experimenting, this shoot involved more collaboration than usual and a slower pace of shooting whilst we discussed ideas etc. Mick played his full part in this and worked hard to achieve particular poses etc.

We achieved some great results and set up further ideas for shooting again on location. Mick is a great guy to work with and I, again, wholeheartedly recommend him to other photographers.

Thanks Mick for another great shoot.

I had a fantastic shoot with Mick today, I was amazed to see our first shoot was 4 years ago, after today I hope to work regularly with this super friendly guy.

The location was an abandoned brickworks which is full of character and superb graffiti, a great settings for Mick who is friendly and laid back but with a very professional attitude to his work as he has great natural modeling ability needing little direction which makes him a great pleasure to work with.

We are planning more shoots for the future and the sooner the better, Thanks Mick for a great day.

Mick arrive bang on time with good communication before and during our shoot.

As a model Mick was superb soon got in to the swing of things and we had a very productive couple of hours. I can not recommend Mick highly enough he gave me everything I asked for and more. Look forward to doing it again soon.

I have been shooting with Mick on a regular basis for sometime now and that is a recommendation in itself!

His communication is always excellent. He always arrives on time and comes prepared with planned outfits and more besides. He has his own ideas and I have mine which we are able to blend together to produce quality images. He is able to work without direction but also willing to take my ideas on board too.

We have worked on location and in studios, nothing phases him and he stays relaxed and on task at all times. He is always a pleasure to work with.

Looking forward to our next shoot Mick.

Did my first solo studio shoot today with Mick, and I couldn't have found a better model. Really helpful in every way, very professional, relaxed and natural. I'll definitely be shooting Mick again, but next time I'll get the lighting right!

Mick came to have his first life modelling session and training this morning.

Comms were great prior to the modelling.

Turned up on time, really polite and cooperative man who was a great model. He can hold a pose without difficulty - we only pushed it to 30 minutes but this went really well.

Thoroughly recommended to artists as he searches for life modelling opportunities.

Finally, after months of waiting, our shoot took place! We had a two part shoot, spending the morning outdoors followed by a studio session in the afternoon. Mick threw himself into the shoot with great enthusiasm which made my job that much easier. That was excellent and a major contributor to the shoots success. Mick followed guidance very well, and also made suggestions of his own to enhance the pose which in turn led to some great results. Pre-shoot comms were great as were our meeting arrangements. I certainly recommend Mick for a very professional, well organised, great fun shoot.

Mick booked another shoot with me at Crossroads Studio today.

Mick is very easy to get along with and loves modelling. He puts in plenty of energy and thought to the shoots.

Mick doesn’t need any direction and poses effortlessly. He has great ideas for the shoot but is also more than happy to work with the photographer’s ideas.

A truly pleasant gentleman and I have no problem in recommending him to other photographers.

I worked with Mick for the first time on Tuesday. Mick is very relaxed and more than happy working with direction if needed.

He is very easy to get along with and fun to work with.

Mick is capable of providing you with many different styles and very easy to work with.

Great shoot.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Mick on his first location, nude shoot in a discreet area in the dales. He is totally confident in his own skin and this made for a great relaxed and fun shoot. His pre-comms were excellent as was the banter during the shoot. He is able to pose himself but also to take direction. He was more than happy with the results and we are already planning a further shoot. If you have not yet worked with Mick, please try to book him, you will not be disappointed.
