References for Michael (MY-KL)

My-Kl is a joy to shoot with! I've met him twice on 2 different shoots, unfortunately only got to shoot with him once. He's very down to earth and always smiling and fun to be around. As you can see from his shots, he knows his poses and takes direction well too! Looking forward to work with him again. Highly recommended!

We got a chance near the end of a shoot to work together for a sum total of 8 minutes! We both got to it and after a few mins of settling in and finding our groove - managed to nail an image that went FPI when posted. There was a turning point where I gave Michael some new directions and off he went and got creative - that's it - we were in the zone after just a few mins. Can recommend him to bring stuff to the table and his physique and expression are excellent.

I met and worked with My-KI for the first time a couple of weeks ago during a shoot for the PortraitX team.

I found him to be an easy going guy who was happy to work with my ideas, but also add his own thoughts to the shoot.

He is a fit guy who has a strong presence in front of the camera.

He is able to work on his own, or with others, as he did on that day with his partner.

My-KI has a clear vision in his head as to how he would like shots to look, and conveys this easily to the tog, which helps with the whole creative process.

I look forward to the next time we work together...

I worked with Mykl fairly recently and we're now about to work together again over the weekend so id definitely recommend him. He showed up bang on time, was happy to collect me on his way through and was very friendly; made the day a lot brighter (which was great as it wouldnt stop raining!). he even looked after me and gave me his jacket, then came up with some great input into the shoot so we really used the location as much as we could and got some great shots. id highly recommend mykl to newbies as he has a lot of very good and creative ideas but im sure pros will also have a great day with this gent.

Had a second shoot with My-Kl on Sunday; this time with a themed martial arts storyboard, with model Ana-Conda. My-Kl's pre-communication ideas and versatility to adapt new ideas during the shoot helped to make the storyline work and we produced some excellent work. Very highly recommended.

Today I worked along with My-kl for a martial arts kidnap theme shoot which was lots of fun. Michael is so easy to get on with and so laid back. He really knows what he wants to get from the shoot and came up with some great ideas. I would happily recommend working with him. You are guaranteed lots of laughs. Would also work together again. Thanks Ana

I collaborated on an editorial shoot with My_KI and despite an apparent lack of experience, we had a great outcome. He's a genuine chap, who is willing to not only take direction well but also contribute with his own personal suggestions.

I would recommend.

Had the absolute pleasure of working with My-Kl yesterday, Started off with superb pre shoot comms, arrived on time - My-Kl is a really easy guy to get along with, super professional in both attitude and approach to work.

My-Kl is very patient, whilst setting up and playing around with some multiple exposures managed to sit still on a stool for 45-50 mins. (quite an achievement as it wasn't a padded seat!).

Keen to play around and experiment with different setups, Surprisingly My-Kl said that he has only been doing the modelling for a short while, but I can highly recommend him.

really enjoyable afternoon - if you get the chance to work with him, take it! You wont regret it.

thank you My-Kl

Had a great collaboration shoot with My-Kl yesterday. He showed considerable ability to hold a pose well, whilst standing on uneven rocks, and was very keen to include his own ideas which resulted in some fantastic alternative images!

He was professional and adaptable to work with and I enjoyed experimenting with his ideas. Would definitely recommend to work with.

Thanks for a bizarre afternoon!

Intelligent guy who has a really great face and body to photograph. I really enjoyed our shoot and achieved some great shots, My-Kl took direction very well and was very comfortable in front of the camera. For me his looks remind me of a young Chuck Norris which could work well with his martial art skills. I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again and perhaps venture into being more creative.

Over the last couple of years I've had a few shoots with My-kl. He's the type of model who can simply jump in and pose for you, take directions or even can bring ideas to the table. He's not afraid of the cold or getting messy.

He always turns up on time and presentable ready to fulfil the brief for the shoot.

As the pictures in his portfolio depict he's in great shape and is very flexible.

Highly recommended model for commercial, art or dance images, though I'm sure he can turn his hand to anything.

Hadn't met My-kl before the shoot but was very quickly comfortable working with him. Very organised. Had planned props, locations and poses prior to the shoot which allowed things to run very smoothly. Great sense of humour and good intuition. Made the shoot very enjoyable.
