After wanting to work with Mike for a long while, I was delighted when he showed up to my workshop event at Scarlet door.

What a fantastic looking fortfolio he has on here! It took me a few minutes to scroll down and I wish I had the time to love them all!

He certainly knows how to make the most of great lighting (and assist with setting up) and get absolutely stunning images and make a model feel fabulous 😉

Mike was very polite and lovely to shoot with, good with direction and feedback.

I was so happy with the back screen.

I would love to have the opportunity to work 1-1 with Mike in the future.

Definitely recommended !

It was great to see Mike again at Shawn’s duo dance workshop with Dee model @Scarlet Door Studio.

I’ve worked with Mike multiple times & he’s always hugely recommend from me.

He consistently produces awesome work, he’s very creative with a very friendly approach.

Thanks again, Charliee :)

He gave great direction and had some great ideas, we read eavhorners minds a couple of times.

Am so exited to see these images, and exited for our next shoot

Thanks so much mike! See you next time x

Mike somehow managed to achieve taking the sort of images I could only dream about in my mind. Great at communication ahead of time and on the day, we walked away from our shoot with hundreds of stunning shots and I couldn't be happier. He even managed to capture a few smiles and laughs I was enjoying myself so much!

I was completely at ease the whole way through, Mike's lovely and made sure I was always comfortable. It was chilly on our location shoot but he always put my warmth first! Full of knowledge and great stories, I hope I get the chance to shoot with Mike again very soon.

The first few edits have already come back to me and I couldn't be happier.

First shoot with mike was fantastic

Pre coms were great

Mike was my first shoot of this year and a perfect way to start it to.

I had approached mike to shoot some new images for my port and he was a great choice, we shot a range of different sets from fashion to art nude , the lighting set ups were amazing and something new to me.

Mike is a brilliant photographer the photos were all beautifully done and had a hard time choosing from the all

I got my first edits back quickly to which was a bonus

Was a great pleasure to work with you and will be looking forward to a second shoot !

Thanks for a awesome shoot

Would recommend 100% :)

I worked with Mike briefly on a workshop but glad I got the chance to shoot with him at my home! He is a lovely man, awesome photographer and likes to get creative which is always fun. I really enjoyed shooting with him and look forward to seeing the edits! Awesome guy who I would have absolutely no problem in recommending to others, thanks Mike :)

I have known Mike since he started and finally got the chance to shoot with him today. Had a fabulous productive shoot on location, Mike was thoughtful throughout making sure i was safe and comfortable. Was a learning curve for me being my first 'bump' shoot and also urbex fashion. I really enjoyed it and look forward to working with him again soon and hopefully many more times.

I had another shoot with Mike and this one was my first duo shoot with another model. I have shot with other models before but not with Mike and I am very happy with the results so far. I shot with My Little Goth, we done some gothic/alternative fashion sets as well as a Halloween themed set.As always Mike is a complete pleasure to work with: friendly, respectful, kind, creative, professional and skilful at his craft.

I had a shoot with Mike on Saturday and it was absolutely amazing. He did not rush and allowed me to feel comfortable with him by suggesting certain poses that might work with the outfit that i was wearing at the time. He let me explore ideas that i thought could work with the outfit and did not discourage or disagree with any of them. I recommend Mike 100% because he is an amazing photographer and allows the model to take control of the shoot! For now i am just looking forward to seeing the pictures all edited and ready to be shared. Thank you so much Mike, i cannot wait to work with you again!

I had another fantastic shoot with Mike this week. It's always a pleasure to work with Mike, his pre shoot comms are fantastic, and he's a lovely character to be around. Conversation flowed on the day and he has a fantastic eye for shots.

He always kept me up to speed with what he wanted and when he wanted me to do something different. He not only said that I can use the images, but he sent me the unedited images and one edited image within 12 hours of the shoot! Now that's what I call impressive.

I very much look forward to working with him again, and I recommend him 100% to any model, new or experienced :)

I met Mike on a group shoot at Scarlet door last week. He was fun to work with, polite & easy to get on with. We worked through quite a few sets & the time flew. Mike had lots of ideas where I was able to pose on my own or he would give direction if he had a specific image in mind (hair flicking) I would highly recommend Mike to any model & hopefully I will get to work with him again :) x

I had my second shoot with Mike and we went to some great Urban locations. He is kind, lovely and creative. We managed to get some urban shots and I look forward to the finished results, as we he had ideas what would work looking at the back of camera :) .

Mike is highly recommended.

I had a great shoot with Mike at Scarlett door studio. Mike is professional, friendly, and very easy to get along with. We worked through a few different lighting set ups, which were really well suited to the individual sets we shot - Mike showed me the back of the camera so I could see what we were getting - the phrase is 'nailed it!' I think!

Great photographer, lovely person and highly recommended :)

Thanks

From our first shoot together over a year ago now, to today; Mike has remained one of the most creative, subtle, kind and progressive photographers that I've known. The latest shoot that we had on a nearby bridge to me was superb! In the space of about 15 - 20 feet we managed to nock out several sets with different angles, lighting, styles and perspective resulting in a varied shoot in a tiny space (goodchallenge!) with tough light. The images are fantastic, as ever; Mike is recommended highly.

I recently had 2 shoots with Mike in one weekend, lucky me! On the first we recreated a Siouxsie Sioux album cover, among other things, and the second was a Cybergoth shoot with KaosAdy.

Mike is patient, respectful and generally awesome at all times. Incredible images guaranteed. I've worked with him more times than any other photographer. 100% recommended!!!

Yasmin Benoit

I've had my eye on Mike's work for a while, so it was a pleasure to finally work with him. Our urban shoot was a lot of fun, there was great conversation and the images I've seen so far - unedited and unedited - look amazing. I'd highly recommend him and definitely work with him again. ♥
