Mike is honestly one of my favourite photographers. We've been working together for a year and have had 5 successful shoots so far.

His work always blows me away and it's been incredible to see how his style has evolved with every shoot.

He's patient, respectful and plans shoots well. I couldn't recommend him more!

Charliee.

Another successful shoot with the talented Mike Stone, he's constantly progressing with lighting set ups in the studio, in this case Scarlet Door, and it really shows in the amazing shots we have made :) Highly recommended!!

Love Charliee

Mike, as ever, stepped up to the plate when a curveball was swung his way! We'd already made plans to shoot at Fine and Dandee, and when Tinkerbella was available for the evening we suggested that we work on a duo shoot. Mike worked with us superbly shooting both solo and duo, and was absolutely fantastic at capturing the mood and the essence of the fiery duo. The images back are as superb as ever, a real pleasure to work with Mike again.

Mike and I have a long history of fantastic work together and our first woodland shoot of summer 2017 was no exception. We made a trek out into the wilderness of Reading and found a lovely wooded location. After a literal uphill battle (the hill to the site was interesting in 20 degree heat!) we set up camp and began a wonderful afternoon of woodland walking, shooting beauty, portrait and surreal fashion. The post edited images are simply stunning, capturing a new side of me and showing the essence of the woodland vibe that we wanted to capture. Mike also shoot some images utilising some designers gear, really working to make sure that the final image did them justice. A forever wonderful man, make sure you get a booking in quick!

Had yet another shoot with this very talented photographer.What can I say only that Mike never fails to produce some pretty amazing images. We shot in a gorgeous apartment this time. I could see a big smile on his face when he saw how big those windows were haha Got some cracking shots from around the apartment which as you can see the results . We have already at least have 3 shoots lined up and a big one in August which we are really looking forward too ;)Highly recommend Mike 100%

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

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.

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!
