Always late with my references as mike is surly now aware lol

I had the up most pleasure of spending a delightful week in Mallorca which turned out to be ‘siiiiiickkkkkk!’ ;) lol

We shot at some amazing locations and created some epic work!

Mike was an absolute dream to be around aswell, such a calming nature and a joy to be around with ‘no stress’ lol and didn’t panic when I left my passport behind before departure either haha...

All in all any model who spends a week away in some exotic location with mike is very lucky indeed !

I had the absolute greatest pleasure of going to Cape Verde with mike! What an amazing experience!

I’d met mike at a pervious shoot a few year prior but as I have a memory of a gold fish I couldn’t remember who mike was! 😂😂

that being said I definitely wasn’t disappointed! Mike is an awesome down to earth guy and very talented at that, I could spend 24/7 with mike and not get bored! Amazing stories to tell I couldn’t of wished to be tagging along with anyone else!

Both me and mike have the same artistic eye when it comes to photography, we both created some epic images at Cape Verde and I’m still buzzing from the trip!

Can’t wait to venture out with mike again to another exotic trip abroad!

Would recommend to any model....!

Last year met up with Mike, whom I had made contact with.

He responded an interest regarding a Photography holiday event I was organising in Cape Verde.

We both met up a couple of times over Coffee and long chats all Photography, we talked talked and talked. We both kept corresponding over the year in writing to update Mike of any new updates and he would always respond to me as I would to him.

The shoot went ahead with just Photographer Mike only one model Tanya Atherton.

Stretching the 3 days over 4 allowing some chilled out time for both of them.

Covering Street, Beach, wide open

spaces.

Mike is a very interesting lovely chilled Photographer with a huge knowledge of the Photography world plus with shooting many models on Photography holidays in his time. He was the perfect Photographer for this event.

They both worked well together and it was interesting to watch them with so many places and styles to shoot in just a few hours shooting time each day.

Tanya excelled and delivered outstanding array of shots time after time after time....

I honestly can't say I don't think I've ever met a model quite like her she is amazing!

Mike's images on Purpleport are just a few of fantastic work that they both achieved

Keep checking there is more to come....

I'm so pleased Mike had a great time and enjoyed the culture pot of Africa as he did in Cape Verde.

Thanks Mike it was a pleasure to have met you.

All the best

I've worked with Mike several times over the years including on trips abroad. I think his work speaks for itself.. Mike is incredibly talented, creative and knowledgeable but he is also a fantastic photographer to work with. A real gent! I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him highly.

Had my first shoot with Mike at his home studio. Despite I went to the wrong house at first and that make our day full of laugh haha. Got there in the end. Mike is friendly and professional and he made really nice cup of tea for me :)

We start shooting from bedroom with natural light and finished at studio. Mike is very talented and creative person. He showed me his work and all are fabulous. Glad to get to work with him as he is easy to get on with and have no doubt to recommend to any models.

Thanks for great shoot and hope to work again. T

Huge thanks to Photofrenetic(Mike) for his patience to work with me unbelievable 30 times!!!

This time we did clay and autumn colour shoot which I wanted to do for a long time as I love one of his images with clay and autumn colour which got FPI!

Mike had been checking the perfect timing for the autumn colour for a while and it was spot on today! He collected plenty of beautiful leaves the day before and mixed the clay before I arrived and everything was perfectly organised. The shoot was brilliant and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Mike is always professional, friendly and nicely organised.

Highly recommended!!!

Thank you for the brilliant shoot again and really looking forward to the 31st one!!!

Mike is a total gent to work with. Although he has a wide range of skills within the photography scene from wild life and flowers to underwear and nude art when I asked for fetish Art Images but discret, clothed photos he was absolutely fine with it. That shows a true professional indeed. Very accommodating to keep the model comfortable at all times.

I would and will recommend Mike to anyone that requires an established professional photographer. Well done photofenetic keep up the good work :0)

Had a wonderful varied shoot with this gentleman.

Excellent rapport, technical and creative skills, humour, a laugh a minute and gooseberries to die for.

Highly recommended, thanks Mike xx

I had a brilliant shoot in Ibiza with Mike this time.

The weather was gorgeous, the villa we stayed was very comfortable, quiet, photogenic and several great spots for the shoot in walking distance so we had a brilliant time shooting there.

Mike arranged everything in advance, including villa, flights, car etc., very well organised.

Mike is always creative, great use of light and shadow, good to find a perfect spot for the shoot. We drove around almost everywhere in the island and found beautiful wavy cliff which was perfect for the shoot and enjoyed being adventurous! I really cannot wait to see the images.

Highly recommended as always!!!!!

I had another....this is our 28th shoot at Mike's home studio. He had been not perfect condition for a while but he made huge effort on our today's shoot so I really appreciate that. Thank you very much Mike.

The images looks brilliant both behind the camera and quick look at using his pc and so I really look forward to seeing the final images.

Mike is well organised, super friendly and very professional as always and so I am very happy working with him and I really cannot wait for our 29th shoot at Ibiza in 2 weeks time!!!

I had a one week photoshoot in the island of Fuerteventura (Canary islands, Spain) with Mike. The weather was not great but we managed to get a lot done. We shot mostly around the dunes area and inside the villa we were staying at. We also did quite a lot of long exposures using available light around the villa and the images turned out great.

Mike is a very talented and creative photographer who is full of ideas.

Totally reccomended!

I had a studio photoshoot at Mike's studio were we experimented with some digital light projections, then did some art nudes in the shower trying to recreate an Alfred hitchcok movie and some other creative stuff.

Throught the shoot Mike shot many images and we got some great pictures.

Totally reccomended!

thanks Mike

The 27th shoot in Seychelles!!!

Mike kindly took me to the beautiful paradise, Seychelles for our 27th shoot for 8 days.

We started our shoot on the beach in front of our villa which was almost private all the time except fishermen went out for fishing in the morning and local people came to sit down on top of the rock for gorgeous sunset. Emerald green and cobalt blue sea, crystal-clear water, perfect powdery white sand, palm trees, what else can we do but the photo shoot?

We had a day trip to nearby island, La Digue where the most picturesque beaches with imposing granite formations, Anse Source d’Argent was. This beach is also famous for having been used in a number of prominent photoshoots and films, including movies such as Emanuelle, Crusoe, and Castaway, as well as the famous Bacardi adverts of the 1990s. A hobbiest model doing a photo shoot here!!! Unbelievable thing to happen???

Apart from the shoot, we thoroughly enjoyed the stay at the villa with two really friendly house keeper ladies. They helped us to buy just caught fish from the fishermen, cooked local food using those fish for us which were delicious. Tropical fruits from our and neighbour's garden were delicious and fresh. Gorgeous sunset in front of the villa, visiting nature reserves, seeing rare animals such as giant Aldabra tortoises, green gecko lizard, meeting local people were brilliant experience.

Thank you very much to Mike for taking me such a beautiful paradise for the shoot and I really cannot wait to see the images from this shoot trip.

Thank you!!!

Mike is a wonderful photographer who is highly skilled at his art form. He has been a great mentor to me since I started my modelling career and has put a lot of faith in helping me develop my burlesque portfolio. We have worked together on numerous occasions - indoors, outdoors, collaborating on various multimedia art projects and he has helped photograph my stage shows. He's got a keen eye for lighting, framing and working magic on the skin! Mike makes the whole shoot experience an easy and fun process, and he is very prompt with sharing the results. He's a true professional who goes the extra mile and it's obvious that he's dedicated to his love for photography. I would highly recommend Mike to anyone in need of a photographer!

I had an amazing weekend shoot with Mike.

What a wonderful man, professional, creative, perfectionist, perfect host,

I could go on and on....

Mike is a fantastic photographer, we worked through half the list he had planned, the remaining we will complete on our next shoot.

This gentleman is very highly recommended.

Thank you so much Mike, can't wait until next time ☺️ xx

I had a shoot with Mike on 25/10/17 for the very first time and I can’t recommend him strongly enough. Mike is very professional and easy-going, and I was at ease from the very first moment I met him. Since I and my fellow model Leda were travelling by tube, we could only go as far as the zone 6, whereas Mike lives further away. What could have been a major transportation dilemma was quickly solved as Mike offered us a lift, which was honestly very, very sweet thing to do.

Just before the shoot we all had a tea together and got to know each other, which further created a friendly and fun atmosphere that lasted throughout the shoot. Mike was also kind to provide us all the necessary props needed for our Capitol Couture themed photoshoot and had even printed out a sheet full of ideas that we could try! How cool is that?

During the shoot Mike was extremely patient and encouraging and we got some truly amazing images together. I can’t stress it enough times how much I enjoyed the shoot because considering the fact that the very theme required complicated makeup and horribly uncomfortable over-the-top accessories, which, in my case, proved to be quite restricting and a true nuisance when posing, it truly was one of the most fun ones I’ve ever attended, and it is all thanks to Mike.

I would definitely shoot with Mike again when in England – no matter the complexity of makeup and outfit – in fact, when I visit, I’ll be sure to contact him again!

So, all in all, it was quite an unforgettable day and I must repeat myself when I say that I can’t recommend Mike highly enough. Any model who gets to shoot with him, is a lucky one.

My third shoot with Mike was just as enjoyable and productive as the ones before, and I can't wait for another one. :) He very kindly gave my fellow model and me a lift to and from a very remote Tube station, provided numerous props, accessories and even printed out make-up ideas for the selected theme of our shoot (the Capitol look from Hunger Games), allowed us to explore all the possible ideas for the shoot and gave us the images at once on a usb stick, letting us select a large number of our favourite shots. He also patiently waited for us to finalise our make-up and gave suggestions on our outfits in order to achieve authenticity in our looks.

Our shoot was professional, relaxed and incredibly fun; time flew quickly, and we truly enjoyed it and couldn't be happier with the resulting images.

I would fully recommend Mike to any model. Thank you very much, Mike!

Mr. Crawley was the first nude photographer I worked with. Or photographer in general! Never did I stand in front of a camera under such circumstances before and I'm glad I had the opportunity to do it with Photofrenetic!

Looking for a collaborative photo shoot as a total newbie in London - originally within the theme of the D/s dynamic, which perhaps was too ambitious for my first shot - I nonetheless received a very welcoming response from Mr. Crawley who was keen to undertake my asking. I was greeted at the Underground Station and from there we arrived at the Photefrenetic studio in Watford, London for my first ever photo shoot!

The first few moments of shyness were soon replaced with simply enjoying the experience. His years of experience working with (nude) models - and the work to show for it - was another good sign for me I shouldn't feel anxious facing a new experience like this one.

Mr. Crawley shared a lot of valuable insight on his work in the (nude) photography and being British - also a good cup of tea. I was happy with his openness to try anything as nothing was off the table. I'm very pleased with our first collaboration which was not thoroughly planned out but rather a spontaneous experiment which is my opinion was successful.

I was open to new knowledge and experience very much and I felt free to ask Mr. Crawley any questions I had - he was open to discuss anything.

We still keep in touch with each other and the learning never stops! He was the person who introduced me to this website also which I'm very thankful for.

Mr. Crawley was quick to share all of the images we took that day - and it was a lot of photos - and despite his workload, soon after he sent me my favorite image edits too.

As a first-timer myself, I would definitely recommend new models to work with Photofrenetic. And yet, I always say - whether a model or a photographer, new or experienced - let the creative work speak for itself when it comes to collaborations. Photography is an adventure, in my opinion, and one shouldn't feel forced to do things they don't want to do, or with whom they do it. I am especially glad with my adventure time with Photofrenetic.

Thank you for a wonderful first experience, Mr. Crawley and I'm excited to greet you in Amsterdam later this spring!

Yours sincerely,

Baiba

I've just had a brilliant shoot with Mike. He is so creative and fun to work with. WHen I arrived we sat down and he had prepared a whole list of things he wanted to try, it was great to work on different things and try new ideas.

He is easy to get along with, relaxed and I always felt comfortable.

I would highly recommend Mike to work with, he's a brilliant photographer with lots of really great fun ideas. Thank you Mike, can't wait to finish your list!
