Highly recommend, Mike is such a lovely guy and a bundle of joy to work with (we couldn't stop laughing at one point). Mike is a very talented photographer and super easy to work with. I am really glad I shot with Mike and we are already planning our next shoot together.

Had another fantastic shoot with Mike yesterday.Mike kindly picked me up and drove to location and what a beautiful place it was. We spent 6 hours getting various shots which I`m excited to seeing when edited.

Between Mike and Chris I had such a laugh in between shots the time just flew by so quick. I think that cat wants to model for you mike,she took a liking to you in a big way haha

Look forward to our next shoot.

Thanks again

Had another 3 hour home shoot with Mike on friday 30th. I have lost count now how many shoots we have done but i will never get tired shooting with him as he always comes up with different ideas for a shoot. He is the most organised photographer I have met. He is always very thorough with his planning and shares ideas with pinboards beforehand so that we can both get the best from the shoot.

This time we did a gel shoot and considering it was his first time working with gels on his own the results have turned out fantastic!

Looking forward to our next shoot Mike :)

Had my 6th shoot with Mike yesterday but this time it was in a studio. It was my first time but for Mike he had been before so I was relaxed as I knew Mike was ever the professional he got lighting set up etc as I got ready. We spent 4 hours creating fantastic images with having a laugh along the way. Mike as always showed me the images and all I can say I cant wait to share. I`m looking forward to next month studio shoot it cant come quick enough :)

Thanks again Mike

Had another shoot with Mike in the New Forest last Saturday the 5th. As always he made sure I was ok by bringing a hot water bottle as it was bitterly cold and I wasn't feeling great. We managed to get some fantastic images which I`m more then pleased with. There will me many more shoots to look forward too ;)

From shoot one to shoot, what, 15(?) Mike has always been able to get the absolute best from me and our recent shoot shows just that! We had a great time playing around with different lighting sets up and fashion ideas, with a quick fire round at the end for fun. I adore working with this man, but need to stop leaving sparkiling reviews otherwise I'll never get another chance!

Had number two after dark car park shoot on Tuesday evening . Mike kindly picked me up and made our way to Camberley where we shot for two hours in various locations.Mike is all the time trying out ideas and lighting. He got some fantastic shots which I cant wait to share. We have planned more shoots together which I cannot wait to do. If you are looking for an excellent photographer then he is your man.

See you again very soon Mike :) Jx

I have to admit, I love working with Mike, always fun and lots of laughter. This was our third shoot. A post apocalyptic & husky style shoot.

Mike is really good at feedback, and showing the progresses of the shoot as we go.

Always recommend Mike to everyone :-)

I was very fortunate to run into Mike at a recent workshop run by Christian Lewis & Shaun Lloyd in the New Forest that I attended with my partner and Media Mua Bryanna-Angel Allen.

Although I wasn't actually there to model, having been asked if I'd like to participate I therefore got to shoot with Mike on a very improvised and spur of the moment basis. That said, despite only having a very short session Mike he actually produced some great results in the time that we shot together.

Polite, professional and really easy to work with Mike was an absolute pleasure to work with and I'd happily shoot with him again anytime.

Definitely recommended :)

I met Mike for the first time yesterday on a group shoot in the New Forest. From the images I saw on the rear screen of his camera, I could see Mike had a lot of talent. Mike and I talked about photography and bringing his own model into the New Forest for a one to one photo shoot.

Mike comes highly recommended.

I enjoyed working with Mike. He is professional, polite, creative and comfortable to work with. It was a workshop in the New Forest, Natural Park with huskies. There were many other photographers I worked with during this shoot but Mike is my favourite so far. I loved the fact that he had many ideas and sooo easy to work with!

I had my second photo shoot with Mike on Wednesday.

And yet again I had such a good time, Mike is always amazing at pre-comms, and comes prepared with a full folder of ideas to reference just in case.

He knows the shot he wants to get, and is brilliant at expressing this.

Throughout the shoot, he is brilliant will feedback on the shoots and always checking if I’m ok. Having someone so thoughtful really does make the experience that much better.

We have booked in more shoots, as I love working with Mike, I can tell since the last time we worked together his knowledge and photo capability has improved. Knowing where to position the light, or where to get the best angle from.

It’s always a pleasure working with Mike so looking forward to the next shoots!

This was my first shoot with Mike, he was extremely friendly and it was a really fun 4 hours. The location was great with lots of choice for background and we had great shots as an outcome. I received the edits and contact sheets on the same day. He's a very creative photographer and highly recommended by me!

Had a Photoshoot with Mike first set indoors second location.

Pre communications where brilliant and creative ideas where given to have a good understanding of what was wanted to achieve time of the Photoshoot.

Mike arrived on time and was a joy to work with, very professional but also down to earth where you both can have a laugh and share ideas 💡

With seeing images come back from our shoot, I'm very pleased with the results as just beautiful. Great shots/edits and would love to work with Mike again.

Fully recommend! Thank you again for a fun shoot!

Had a last minute shoot with Mike on Monday 26th sept . This was my 3rd shoot with Mike and after the last two shoots I knew Mike would come up with amazing ideas so when he asked me to do his first ever after dark car park shoot I was happy to help. As always pre coms were excellent. He sent through some images and poses for me to try out which was very helpful. On the evening he kindly picked me up on the dot of 7pm.

We spent a while in the car park where Mike managed to get some pretty amazing images.We then went down and out of car park to various locations trying out lighting etc We did get some attention from the public but we didn't care as we were enjoying the shoot. We were getting carried away and could have stayed longer than 2 hours but unfortunately it was getting late and had to finish :(

We are now planning for shoot number 4 which I`m really looking forward too. I cannot recommend Mike highly enough. He is such a lovely guy and very organised photographer that you will meet. I`m looking forward to many more shoots with Mike.

Thanks Mike :) x

After being so impressed with our recent shoot with Mike & our Chrysler we thought we knew we`d found the right person for a sixties themed shoot with our Hillman & Portafold Caravan!

We booked onto a local secluded campsite & spent a few hours getting some fantastic shots in & around the car & caravan as well as the surrounding area.Mike has an excellent eye for what makes a good shot & was full of ideas,many of which he had spent much time planning beforehand which really showed as he well prepared on the day.

I wouldn`t hesitate to recommend Mike to anyone & am already looking forward to our planned studio shoot together,with his superb effort & eye for detail I`m sure we`ll continue to get more great images together x
