What can I say about Mike?! He’s such a kind, lovely person and an incredible photographer!! He has so many amazing ideas and knows exactly how to get the best out of each location 🙌🏼 we had such a fabulous shoot down at Rye Beach, which included shooting in a bunker that was just awesome! 😄 I am completely blown away by these images! We’ve already got another shoot booked which I cannot wait for. I would absolutely recommend Mike to anyone thinking of working with him 😀

Had my third shoot with Mike today! After a hunt for the entrance to the car park, we finally found it and took some amazing images :D

I love working with Mike so much, not only does he provide fabulous direction (which make all the difference) he is also so much fun to be around!

His bubbly personality allowed me to feel comfortable throughout the shoot (as always) and I can proudly say that he is one of my fave photographers to work with :)

100% recommend and can’t wait until our next shoot which is already booked in!

Had my second shoot with Mike and Domi and what can I say? Mike is a creative genius! :D

With Mike scouting out locations prior to the shoot, we all had clear intentions of what we wanted to achieve and my lord we achieved that and more!

With sand dunes, a sunflower field and a forest, Mike was able to capture a variety of images with a beautiful sense of location.

I utterly love working with Mike; he’s helped me develop my modelling so much in the space of two shoots!

You need to book this photographer! I already have my third shoot lined up :)

100% recommend!

Another fantastic shoot with Mike, I can't how many times we've shot now which only proofs how good he is.

I absolutely love working with Mike. He's so creative and experienced but also gives the best directions out of all the photographers that I've shot with.

Can't reccomend him enough. Book him in and you won't be disappointed!

Had my second shoot with Mike yesterday, amazing results yet again!

We shot in a forest this time, and he knew how to use the spaces we could find and was very good at directing the shoot and knowing how to work with what we had as we were only in a small forest. He always makes me feel comfortable, we have fun on the shoot and he keeps a look out when I’m trying to change in public areas!😂

Over the moon with the results, can’t wait for our next shoot😊

My third shoot with Mike and another big WOW!

We set of early in the morning.... on a Sunday.... to ensure it was quiet as we had an idea of shooting fetish at a location on a road. I found a spot which was quite out the way, but of course we were joined by a pack of cyclists, various dog walkers and a man who appears out of nowhere on his bike! I’m not sure who was more scared, him or us! Haha!

Then we went to a converted barn that I have access to. It’s a stunning setting with lots of natural light, patio doors, lovely wood beams and stunning grounds outside. We even made use of the pool table in the games room.

Mike is fantastic! He used the natural light in the most amazing way, accentuating my best assets and producing stunning images.

Mike has a great eye for a shot! I particularly loved the bathroom images we created. Using a large window full of light, as well as incorporating the sink and some flowing water! I was blown away with how fantastic these are. Oh... and the corner bath and shower.... it was fab!!

I absolutely love working with Mike and I can’t recommend him highly enough

Thank you for yet another magical adventure

Lou ☺️

I finally got the chance to shoot with Mike this morning and WOW what an amazing shoot it was! Mike encourages you to do your weirdest and wackiest poses and he knows exactly what camera angles will show them off in the most beautiful way! We spent three hours in a car park, and the way he managed to use so many different spots in such amazing ways was insanity. I loved it. I hope we can work together loads more and create some more insane images. Thankyou again Mike!!

Another fantastic shoot with Mike, this time as a duo shoot with stunning Leah.

I love shooting with Mike so much, each time I learn something new and progress as a model.

He's so easy to work with and is full of ideas for creative shots.

Looking forward to working with Mike again very soon :)

Without a doubt I would recommend Mike!!

This was our second shoot and it was absolutely awesome!! After the first one we started bouncing more ideas off each other ready, and to say I was excited was an understatement.

We had discussed lots of different ideas so to ensure we could achieve as much as we could, I wrote out a plan of action for use and it worked really well.

We both had ideas that we wanted to try. I knew what I was trying to achieve but had no way in my mind of how we would create it. But Mike just took it in hand and I was blown away with the results. He is so artistic and creative. Between us we created some great images.

We started at a lamp post with a sign on it saying “check your speed” the original idea escalated and we were soon there, throwing shapes and I was swinging off the lamp post with my roller skates on. The sun was perfectly in the sky.... it was magical!

Then we went to an iron horse. I told mike about it and he kindly bought along some steps so I could hop on the back, and again, the images he took are fantastic!! I can’t actually believe how good they are, they're super.

Then it was off up the road to a phone box that we struggled to find on our last adventure. It had been turned into a library so there I was being the librarian, haha!

Another bus stop was found furthering on from our first shoot, we went on a hunt to find a plane landing but was disappoint that one wasn’t coming in, so to make use of that time, we got some awesome shots in my car. We then visited an iron bridge crossing a road and finished with some stunning images back at my place. The natural light was so good and Mike used it magnificently.

I love everything about what what we created during this shoot. It was so much fun! I love that we just jump in the cars and off we go!

Mike is not only an awesome photographer, but an awesome guy too! We spent all day together and it just flew by!

We’ve already got the third shoot in the planning and I can’t wait!

Very highly recommended from me

Thank you again mike

Well technically this is 5 references in 1 ... I have worked with Mike on 3 remote shoots during the lockdown period and I must say I was very impressed .. using the rubbish camera on my mobile phone.. with direction from Mike we managed to capture some really awesome and portfolio worthy shots.. who would have thought! Mike was extremely patient with any issues such as poor signal as we explored a nearby location and was very experienced at helping to set up the shot and direct the pose, he was also friendly and easy to get along with immediately making me feel at ease. Following on from these remote shoots I was keen to establish a real shoot with Mike in which we covered location and also studio to get a big variety of different ideas covered. Mike was very enthusiastic and professional and I didn't want the shoot to end. Bouncing off each other we came up with some fantastic fantasy and creative ideas, the edits from the shoot are really exciting and I can't wait to work with Mike again. Highly recommend.

I first “met” Mike when we had a remote shoot recently, but this was my first proper shoot with Mike.

I was really looking forward to it as we had discussed lots of ideas and what great ideas they were!

Mike arrived and we went out on a mini adventure. We found some amazing places to shoot and the images are awesome! At one point we passed an old concrete bus stop so I pulled over and got out my car to go to talk with him, and without even saying anything, Mike had wound down his window and was saying about the bus stop, it was fab!!

Mike has a great eye and together we created some fantastic images. I’m looking forward to the next shoot which we’re already planning

Very highly recommended from me

Thank you again Mike

I'm pretty sure every shoot gets better with Mike.

It was my first socially distanced shoot since the lockdown and as always Mike came prepared with ideas and his camera.

Such an awesome guy who produces fantastic images.

I will always recommend him. X

Tia Star

Had my first shoot since lockdown with Mike and Domii and I can’t express how talented Mike is!

His directions were so helpful and allowed us to get my best angles and overall amazing images! :) They say if you didn’t work hard on the shoot you did it wrong, and my lord Mike definitely made me work! I loved it! :D

100% would recommend Mike to any model who wants to develop their portfolio to a high standard, and overall have a great time :)

Had my first remote shoot with Mike and it turned out great.

Mike's pre-comms were amazing and explained exactly how the shoot would work and we went over a few ideas for posing in the space we had available.

The day was great and Mike was patient and completely professional.

The images came out great and I hope to shoot in the future!

It was the best decision I made to remote shoot with Mike during lockdown. We worked our way through the various challenges of setting up the iPhoneX, composing using WhatsApp and then switching to camera mode getting back into position and triggering the camera remotely.

The images produced are incredible considering at point of capture we were working blind. This was made seamless thanks to Mike's fantastic clear directions and our pre shoot communications and thorough plans and idea sharing.

Mike I look forward to more remote shoots and after lockdown more shoots with less challenges!

I highly recommend Mike he is a patient, highly talented creative photographer.

The second shoot was even better than the first one.

We bounce ideas off each other so well, very easy going and time just flew by!

Mike is genuinely such a lovely guy and any model who shoots with him is very lucky.

Looking forward to the next one x

Wow wow wow!

After chatting to mike and sorting out a tf shoot together it was so worth it.

He had great comms before the shoot, turned up ready to rock it and gives great directions.

We came up with some very different ideas today and on the back of the camera they all look awesome.

I would highly recommend mike to all models, new and experienced.

I can see mike being on of my regular and favourite photographers.

Thankyou again for today x
