Had another epic shoot with Mike recently, this time we shot my long awaited Harley Quinn look which I’ve been so keen to shoot for the past 3 years. When I first asked Mike if he’d be up for it he was equally as excited about this shoot, which was just awesome! He even knew of the perfect abandoned location close to me; which just was incredible. I absolutely LOVE shooting with you Mike; We always get such incredible shots and your edits are out of this world 😍 thank you again for another rad shoot!!! Can’t wait for the next one 🥳

The duo joined forces again, this time with the beautiful Vicky making us the three musketeers!

Mike is so lovely and I canny sing his praises enough, such a genuinely kind humble soul who I love working with and certainly hope it shall not be the last. Working with Mike is so easy as our minds are very much alined on all our out of the box / weird concepts which flow so easily and with Vicky the day just flew by too quickly!

Loved working with these two incredible creatives and I can't wait to the magic we created.

10000000% WOULD RECOMMEND :D

I have worked with Mike on multiple occasions and will continue to work with him in the future. The man has a natural talent with lighting and poses and creates a safe fun space to create in. Thank you for all the amazing images I look forward to working with you again soon

What an amazing morning I had with Mike. This was our first shoot together and it was incredible.

From the start communication was spot on. We bounced a few ideas around and agreed on a bundle of outfits to try pre-shoot. We were indeed very prepared.

Mike suggested a couple of locations with us both agreeing at an abandoned building (my personal fave kind of building) and to get there early to beat the bank Holiday rush.

Couldn't fault the location, I loved it for its grittiness.

We flew through various outfits, dodging the public if needed, and before we knew it, we had some absolute belters from our session. Specially with the hero shot, nothing makes you feel better when you hear that.

Mike was considerate and courteous during our time together, making me feel at ease from the start, his knowledge and style of photography I find to be incredibly interesting and I was so pleased when the opportunity to get booked in came up.

I would 110% work with Mike again and suggest you do too, if the opportunity arises definitely book in that shoot!!

Thanks again Mike, t'was a pleasure

What amazing first shoot! Mike was so great to work with, pre comms were spot on and he was friendly and chatty throughout the shoot which made it an enjoyable experience.

I quickly realised we have similar taste in the style of image we are looking to achieve and Mike wasted no time in identifying the best areas to work in to create lovely shadows with the light.

We collaborated on ideas and I absolutely love the images. We already have another shoot booked in and I simply can’t wait!

What a fantastic photographer and lovely person! Thank you Mike for a wonderful shoot.

Finally got the chance to work with Mike when I came into the area and my gosh did we light up like dynamite!

Mike is super down to earth, friendly, great fun to work with and so fuelled with creative drive.

From start to finish our ideas bounced off one another and each look was nothing like the last, we saw eye to eye on every concept and brought each one to life.

Its always such a boost when I meet someone who has an equally as creatively 'weird' when it comes to creating things so out the box and my gosh did we see eye to eye!

Thoroughly enjoyed every second of shooting together and it certainly shall not be the last.

Thank you for a wonderful day.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Wow Wow and Wow!! I’ve lost count what shoot this was with Mike, But he never ceases to amaze me, And every image was incredible from what I have seen off the back of the camera.

I met Mike at the location, This time a hotel shoot, Which was different from our usual outdoor shoot.

We pinged ideas back and forth prior to the shoot and were pretty much on the same page.

Mike gives great directions throughout the shoot and we always manage to have a giggle along the way. Not to mention he makes a great cuppa :)

Would I work with Mike again? I’m currently looking through my diary to see what available dates I have, Without a doubt! I can honestly say I’m actually buzzing from our shoot!

Incredible photographer, A really lovely guy, Here’s to more shoots in the future!

Thank you Mike until next time Jade :)

Mike has been on my WTWW list for a long time.... and i'm so glad that I finally to booked in with him! Because... wow, the images did not disappoint!

He was SO friendly and easy to get along with from the get-go. We shot at Mike's local studio, and shot a range of styles, including the use of some funky gel lighting, and the addition of some creepy dolls...

Mike really does know his way around a camera, what looks good / works well, was happy to give directions, but also to let me pose freely! He was also so respectable, and before adjusting the setting to achieve certain shots, checked to see if I was okay with it!

I would thoroughly recommend working with Mike to absolutely anyone. The pictures look amazing, and have already had two edits back!

Thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable day, and I hope to work with you again sometime! (If you can squeeze me into your super busy schedule ;))

Mike is one of the most skilled and talented photographers I have had the pleasure of working with, and the images he produces are never less than excellent. He has a great personality that makes him extremely easy to work with and discuss ideas to create the most incredible images.

I would absolutely recommend working with Mike if given the chance!

Had the wonderful pleasure of working with Mike just before Christmas.

I had been really looking forward to working together for quite some time. Mike has been on my top list of photographers to work with since I started modelling. He has such a unique style.

We had discussed ideas and come up with a few particular looks. I was so thrilled to create some very artistic body shapes with Mike's authentic style. Got some fantastic black and white images as well as some very alternative gas mask images.

Was a really fun shoot, Mike is very professional, easy to talk to and very talented with capturing the perfect image!

Highly recommend Mike!

Thank you very much for a great shoot and some fantastic images. Look forward to creating more amazing art in the future 😊

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve shot with Mike now, and I sincerely hope that there are many many more to come!!

One of my favourite photographers to work with; yet again, we smashed it!! Mike and I went to Studio88 this time. Wow! It was the perfect place for us!! We got lost in there for hours working with the natural light, something that Mike excels in. This mans skills are fan-tastic!!

Mike has become a good friend over time. One of the most honest and genuine guys I’ve met. He’s a true gentleman and a bloody awesome photographer!

Mike gets the highest of recommendations from me!!

Thank you for such an amazing shoot!!

Again!!

Lou ☺️

I shot with Mike for the second time yesterday at Voco Hotel in Reading. What a fantastic a space this was.

My second shoot was just as fun and will be just as memorable as the first. I love spending time with Mike. He is always the perfect gentleman, chatty, funny and the models safety is always priority to Mike.

We shot a range of styles this time adding a little rope into the equation which we couldn’t do in our first shoot. The pictures I have seen so far are amazing I am thrilled and can’t wait to show them to the world.

If you get the chance to shoot with this truly amazing and creative Photographer, do it.

One of my favourite photographers by far.

Thank you for an amazing day. Hope to do it again in the near future.

Another amazing shoot with Mike.

This time at a location that neither of us had been to before and stepping way out of our comfort zones: cold, no natural light and no real idea of what we would find to use to shoot on, with or in.....

Naturally Mike excelled and the most zany and brilliant shots were created. Who else could I trust to accept such a far out challenge. Thankyou again from the bottom of my heart.📸🧡

I had an excellent day shooting with Mike for the first time! Super friendly and chatty and just felt instantly comfortable straight away and throughout! Mike is professional and respectful and super talented which was clear from seeing what we achieved from the back of camera! Mike really knows how to capture the right lighting and those angles to make the images look super creative and edgy! Time flew by and despite me injuring myself half way through the shoot, I had a great day haha. I absolutely love what I've seen so far and can't wait to see final edits. I cannot recommend enough to anyone and 100% would love to work together again! Thank you for an awesome shoot :D

As always I am over the moon with the results from my shoot with Mike. Even though I was ill he managed to capture some great shots for me, ranging from showcasing my clothing designs to some more artistic and quirky portraits. Mike always delivers with his edits- it's only been a few days since our shoot and I have already received 2 incredible fully edited high quality images.

I've worked with Mike many times now and I certainly don't intend for this to be the last.

Ahhhh it’s been toooo long since Mike and I got together last, I mean, he’s just fantastic at capturing the most amazing shots!! I’ve lost count of how many shoots we’ve had now.

Mike came to me and we shoot at mine using natural light in the magical way that Mike does.

Mike shared a couple of ideas with me which I set up for ready for his arrival, and we just ran with it. I’ve got carpet burns on my elbows today from the mad crazy poses I was getting into, that Mike shot fantastically, but I’d do it all again today without hesitation. I just love what we create so much!!

Mike is a dream to shoot with. His photography skills and the way he uses natural light is fantastic. Not only a great photographer but also a great guy too! Time shooting with Mike just flys by!! I wish I could stop the clocks so we could just shoot and shoot

Without a doubt, very highly recommended from me

Thank you Mike for another fabulous shoot

This was my second ever shoot and was fortunate enough to have Mike as my photographer, really put me at ease and had a great shoot! He made me feel comfortable and confident with the images we produced, I look forward to working with him again in the future :)

Had a fantastic shoot with Mike today, it’s always great to get creative and that we did. Mike is always fun to work with and we had a good natter and a laugh and experimented with lighting and some crazy ideas. If you haven’t worked with Mike yet I would highly recommend it!
