Had a dual shoot with Ringo and Mr85 following a last minute cancellation and I’m so glad we managed to arrange something! Dual shoots can be a bit daunting with the prospect of the photographers fighting over eachother but due to the nature of Ringo and Mr85’s relationship, the exact opposite happened! They helped eachother creating lighting patterns, offering no tips and pushing eachother to take photos they wouldn’t have been able to achieve by themselves. I’d be more than happy to work with them again, and know that any model that does will enjoy the experience of working with two old hat photographers who treat you with the upmost respect at all times.

I was asked to model for a light workshop at short notice, which I was happy to do as I was free. I met MR85 & Ringo who were fun, respectable and made me feel today comfortable throughout.

It was a very relaxed day and the energy in the room was great, lots of banter and laughs along the way.

I have even used Mr85’s image for my fitness page, and would like to play with light & fitness again.

Time flew by, and, I would def say yes to another shoot in the future.

Amor 💗🫶🏼🔥

Had my first shoot with Mr85 and ringo today and it went great! The start was abit rocky due to train strikes and being stuck 30 minutes away from the original location however I got rescued and when at the studio location I was greeted and welcomed by mr85.

He made me feel comfortable straight away, came up with ideas for poses and lighting, great to chat to and a good laugh! :)

I recommend Mr85 and would work with him again! Thankyou for a great shoot! :)

This shoot rocked!

A definite recommendation from Sparkles to Ringo and Mr85...

We last shot together 5 years ago (when I had no wrinkles hahahahaha)...

I was really well looked after by these guys (chocolate, tea and warmth)...

I was so happy with the work they produced today (they know how to get amazing images - one set the lighting was so incredible I didn't want to move on with a new lighting setup haha)...

Pre comms - 100%

Organisation - 100%

Professional - 100%

Respectful - 100%

We shot projector work onto my body, bodyscapes, portraits, art nude and horror art nude...

Time went so quick...

Thank you for booking me...

Had a great shoot with Mr85 and Ringo, they were patient with me while I got into it and helped me with poses!

He was amazing to chat and have a laugh with as well as being a fantastic photographer!

Would highly recommend 😊

My first shoot with Mike & it couldn’t have been smoother.

I was instantly put as ease when I arrived, I was instructed what we were going to do & where to be at all times, gave great directions & was very patient with me as a new model.

Mike was very professional, showed me all photos we’d got after each set & was very relaxed throughout.

I would highly recommend working with him to anyone, thanks again!

Today was my first shoot with Mike at a lighting workshop with Ringo.

Mike is ace!! He’s such a lovely guy and an awesome photographer! We worked different areas using lighting and natural light and each set was a success! Mike always showed me the BOC and I was so pleased with what we created. The images are absolutely stunning!

Thank you Mike for a great shoot!

Very highly recommended from me

Had a fabulous shoot yesterday with Mike and Ringo! From start to finish the shoot ran smoothly, Mike is polite and welcoming and a brilliant photographer. For a model who hates her face / portrait work, I know that Mike changed my mind about a few things and we got some really beautiful portrait images, as well as a mix of other shots! Highly recommend Mike and I look forward to next time 🙂

Mr 85 is a patient photographer. We shoot things about lighting and fashion and lingerie. I am impressed by the high skills he shoot’s with me. And really looking forward to see the results🎃

I got invited to another shoot with Mike and Ringo. The space was warm and had good facilities including separate model changing area. They were specific about what items to bring and had a plan for the shoot. They are both easy going guys, chatty and respectful as per the first shoot. We shot lingerie and gels. They create great images! The time flew by! Highly recommended by me.

I was invited by ringo to come and shoot in Fleet with Mike and it was a great day!

From the moment I arrived Mike was really friendly and welcoming, the room we were shooting in was warm and it had been set up ready to go.

Mike has a great sense of humour and is easy to get along with and has a clear passion for photography, always wanting to better his shots and asking questions to gain more knowledge. I enjoyed collaborating on ideas with him so we could get the look he wanted to achieve.

He has a real positive energy about him and it was my absolute pleasure to be the model for the day 😊.

Thanks so much, it was a great day! Highly recommended,

Mike is a lovely person that I really enjoyed working with. We did a collaborative photoshooting with his friend Ringo and both of them created a fun experience where I got to learn and expose myself to the tricks of photography. I would definitely recommend working with Mike.

Mike is a really lovely guy. I had a shoot with him and another photographer in a really beautiful location.

Mike took some really beautiful images and kept me very much in the loop for the whole creative process. I was able to see the images throughout the shoot which I loved!

Highly recommended.

Had a fabulous shoot with Michael the other day, shooting alongside Ringo, at a rather impressive studio space (which is to be closed very soon unfortunately!) -we managed to get some amazing shots outside, and some sets with studio lighting, a mix of portraits, lingerie, nudes and bodyscapes. An absolutely brilliant shoot!

Michael is a lovely guy, creative, chilled, and chatty. Would work with him against in an instant! Thanks for an excellent shoot man!

Highly recommended to all models.

I had a great shoot with Michael at Thurston Lodge. Such amazing location. Michael arrived fully prepared with smile on his face.

We were shooting full day but time flew by. We had fun and I enjoyed shooting with Michael. He is very nice and friendly. He was happy to try my ideas and he was happy to experiment as well.

It was lovely day and I hope that I will get a chance to work with Michael in the future.

Recommended.

Had the pleasure of working with Mr85. A very lovely man, funny, friendly, relaxed yet professional and respectful! Time flies when you're having fun. He had lots of ideas and I liked the style of the things we shot. Very highly recommended and thank you so much for a fab shoot.

Hope to see you again sometime x

Had my first shoot today with Michael and Ringo, what a pair they are! I really enjoyed the shoot, they bounce off eachother and have an eye to detail. They travelled to my stables and even braved my horses haha.

I'd highly recommend him and hope to see them both again :) x

Michael was one of two photographers I had the pleasure of working with on a joint full day photo shoot (with co-photographer Ringo) during my Guildford tour. :) The pair made the shoot a very enjoyable day and it was nice because the format allowed Michael and Ringo to still do their own thing relative to their photographic interests, but because they work so regularly together then it was a good atmosphere with no end of chatter/social positivity too.

The space we used for shooting was great because between us we had so much stuff so we didn't have the problem of running out of places to put things: even then there was still ample space to make full-on sets/put up studio backgrounds and such. Literally ideal and very well suited to models in terms of facilities. :) Michael was literally on hand non-stop with tea-making... Even braving the herbal stuff I brought along which is a first: normally photographers look at my concoctions with absolute disgust in their faces! :D Fair play, Rooibos I think it was that we were on? It certainly makes you feel very at ease when you're well looked after on a shoot: I had food bought for me too for the break in-between and the whole day was blessed with a no-stress flow and plenty of breaks. Though it didn't inhibit the sheer productivity we got at all.

Mike created some beautiful images during our shooting time together: he gets right into the moment and does the necessary adjustments to better the light or angles... There would be some occasions, like when I was low to the ground, and to get the best angle Mike would be nearly going through the floor and coming out of the downstairs ceiling! :P He knows exactly what he strives to achieve from a shoot and captures the look/style very well. We were able to look at some of the images on the screen as they came through and it gives such an epic buzz when a shoot is working like a dream and so many lush images are getting fired on through! Mike takes a lot of care in his work too which is always nice to see because it's easy enough to settle for average but that little extra love in your work goes so far and shows considerably in the end product. Mike has this level of passion for sure! :)

Aside from having a total blast making super-cool images... I had a real ball working with the pair too and the day seemed to go super fast. Towards the end I got a bit sniffy with my allergies and both the guys were encouraging me to take my time and get sorted: even though it was nothing major, it just came at the most irritating time as we went on to beauty/portraits. Sods law! But Mike and Ringo were amazing and really looked after me well from start to finish on the shoot.

I cannot recommend Mike enough! Thank you for an awesome shoot, many laughs and just an all-round fabulous day! :)

Had a duo photographer shoot with Mr85 and Ringo yesterday. They emailed me the day before to ask if I was able to shoot when their original plans went abit wayward. Thankfully my plans for the day had also shifted so I was able to agree to a last minute home shoot.

When they arrived we all had a cup of tea and went over ideas. Thankfully they had given me some good ideas about what they wanted to shoot so I was able to have everything ready - fantastic!!!

On the shoot they were easy going and buzzing with creative ideas. I found them to be easy to work with, they gave good direction and assisted each other with reflectors and something I. Swear was a life saver lol they were also very open to my own ideas which I hope proved worth while.

Would highly recommend these guys, their sweethearts
