Wow and whoop! What a freaking excellent day working with the true joy that is Mike!

Despite being a slightly last minute shoot, Mike got in touch with just one idea that he wanted to shoot and we nailed it, if I do say so myself!

Pre comms excellent, Mike arrived bang on time at my home, we kicked off the day with some coffees and big fat catch up since our last shoot. Then we got our stuff together and popped out to my miles and miles long farm track to shoot from which worked perfectly for what Mike was looking to shoot.

He was super prepared with his epically sized beauty dish, 60 metres of red material, and lens changes. We quite honestly couldn't have planned for a better day, seriously overcast and threatening rain but we got beautifully moody skies, we needed a lot of wind to get the material to have a little movement and boy did it get windy, everything just worked for the day, it was amazing.

Mike is also not just a photographer and brilliant editor, it must be said he is also a fantastic designer, yes ladies we made a dress on the day behind the car whilst the wind howled around us, I honestly can't wait to see his Autumn line :P

One shot was already sent over only hours after our shoot and (no pun intended) I was blown away, incredible work! I can't wait to see more and I can't wait to be back shooting with Mike again, hopefully not before too long :)

Highly, highly recommended and I look forward to the next shoot of madness, thanks again Mike, you were a star,

Eek! I adore this man! I had the tremendous pleasure of shooting with Mike last week whilst on a short tour, we were working at one of Studio Antics World amazing events

Studio Antics ran by Jan. Pre comms were great, Mike picked me up early from my hotel and I knew straight away we were going to get on, we chatted in the car on the way to the Abandoned Nursing Home we were working at, so we had a look around and discussed what we wanted to shoot and got ideas together, within the first set we could have left as the shots were mind blowing!

We pressed on and found more shots to be done, we both got covered in dirt and dust and took some crazy shots, I've already seen some and I just can't get over the results! Mike is a seriously good photographer and won't be happy until the lighting is perfect, we really couldn't take a bad shot, everyone was bang on!

Mike himself is mental, he has so many great stories from over the years that kept me highly entertained, he was more than happy to take short breaks to chill out and compose the next set to perfection, every thought and idea he had was stunning and the results really do speak for themselves, and he's so much fun to work with, a real giggle.

I can of course highly, highly recommend him, and really can't wait for another shoot with him :)

Thanks for a truly groovy day,

I had the pleasure of working with Mike on a recent shoot organised by Studio Antics .

Mike was really easy to get along with, completely professional, really knows his stuff and probably most importantly of all put up with my sense of humour :-)

We have produced some amazing images, powerful and with meaning, I am so pleased with them .

I am more than happy to recommend Mike to work with, and look forward to our next shoot in a few weeks time .

Mike came along to a location share up at the abandoned nursing home. He shot ALL day, non stop with some fabulous models and brought along a great team. Lighting expert extraordinaire!!! Very sociable, great sense of humour and, well, you can see from his images that he is a creator. Highly recommended and, will see him again soon. VERY welcome on our events and recommended to all models. Thanks for coming along Mike :D
