I had a wonderful shoot with Mikey today at the Scorpian Residence. Mikey pre comms were brilliant, I knew exactly what kind of things to expect from the shoot. Mike was lovely to work with, very easy to chat with, professional, and respectful. We both shared ideas and went over images at the end of sets so it was great teamwork. I got plenty of breaks and he even brought along some chocolate biscuits that didn't last long:). I think we shot a variety of diverse sets and look forward to seeing the results. Thank you for being a pleasure to work with.

Really great to have Mike shooting here for his first time today with the very beautiful Jessica Taylor.

I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity of meeting Mike a couple of weeks beforehand and was delighted when he made a booking soon after. I have been admiring his style of photography for some time and I'm looking forward to seeing what he has captured here.

Mike is really easy going, friendly with good conversation and sense of humour, highly respectful of model, studio spaces and facilities on offer. Certainly welcome to return and is highly recommended! – Lee :-)

Mikey was a pleasure to shoot with. He went above and beyond to make our shoot - from getting snacks on the way to taking small breaks and being relaxed though the shoot.

He has good experience and knowledge of how to make effective use of the space at NLS studio.

I recommend him!

Mike and I worked together for the first time today and it was such a fab shoot! We shot at Joel Hick's Photographic, 3 hours away from my home, and he arrived ahead of time in order to help direct me in, which I really appreciated! He is a very professional photographer, always stopping and pausing to check the model is okay, never making you feel in any pressured situation.

All pre shoot communications were fantastic and we swiftly had a plan of what we were going to shoot, clearly showing his organisation skills!

Mike is a true gentleman and someone I really enjoyed working with- so thankyou!

Mike comes with my highest recommendations,

Thankyou for an enjoyable shoot!

I had my first ever photo shoot with MikeyP today at The Loft, or Image Red, a studio which I now know exists (and will know to use again)! I wish we had had longer to work together, as it was such an enjoyable photoshoot and MikeyP was a joy to work with.

He was extremely professional and gave clear and concise pre-communications which was highly appreciated. He made sure I knew exactly what every photo looked like after each shot, so if I didn't like any of them, I could let him know which I weren't comfortable with. He came with some brilliant ideas and I'd hope to work with him again in the future.

He made sure to adjust my poses if some of them didn't look right, and of course respected my boundaries and came with some brilliant studio suggestions before the photo shoot.

It was a joy to work with MikeyP, and I hope we work together again in the future.

I worked with Mikey today in natural light studio and it was amazing! I wish we had a little bit more time to chat and to shoot.

Mikey is a lovely professional, Pre communication was very clear and helpful. Mikey is creative and had great ideas but we went with the flow and we created some beautiful sets. Mikey was made me feel respected and free to express and pose as I wanted.

Mikey always showed me the photos we were doing and that's really good for a model so we know what is being shot.

What can I say? I think it's a pleasure to any model to work with a photographer like Mikey and I highly recommend him! I hope we work together again in the future x

I had my second shoot with Mike at Natural Light Spaces during my time in England this year. As usual he was a pleasure to work with.

Very friendly, easy going and ensured that I was comfortable at all times. His enthusiasm is inspiring and creates a wonderfully creative and productive atmosphere that allowed us to produce some beautiful work that I was very excited about!

We worked through a number of different styles from fashion/portraiture to classical figure work with Mike being very collaborative and open to any suggestions I had while working through the concepts. A delight as always and highly recommended!

I had an amazing shoot with Mike at Joel hicks photographic.

The day of the shoot turned out very lovely and sunny which was great for our outdoor ideas for the shoot.

We shot fashion- art nude and tasteful nude in nature, including the beautiful lake.

I have shot in water before but, not in a lake in this area of England or at the studios private land. It was a great experience and I was very impressed with the sets we achieved in the lake and in the other outdoor locations.

Mike is kind, punctual, creative, easy going, a good photographer and a lovely energy to be around too!

Thank you for a great shoot.

Highly recommended :)

Another wonderful shoot with Mike, this time at my apartment in Birmingham :)

We worked our way through the apartment, making the best use of the natural light in various different areas. From what I saw on the back of the camera we nailed some fantastic images! The light was just glorious :)

As always it was a pleasure catching up with him, he is such great company and the time always flies by :)

Happily recommended by me and hope to see him again soon!

It was an absolute pleasure to shoot with Mikey in such a beautiful studio. The pictures he captured are lovely and I was also super impressed with the pictures he had captured of Tillie solo before we began shooting.

He has a great eye for photography and knows how to take a good picture as well as coming with great ideas for what he wanted to shoot. (which models always like good ideas!)

Mikey was also lovely as a person from the get go and incredibly easy to get along with. You can tell that he is a real gentlemen.

I would 100% him to anyone that would be looking to shoot with him.

Thanks for an awesome shoot mate!

I shot with Mike a couple of month ago now and what a great shoot it was too!

He's polite, well organised and full of ideas. The time flew by with mike and he makes a great brew too!

Mike has a keen eye for photography and produces some really beautiful images.

I cant wait to work with Mike again.

100% Recommended.

I shot with Mike alongside Roxy on our duo tour last month in Birmingham.

Once again it was the biggest pleasure to work with him and it was such a successful shoot! Mike is one of those people that leaves you buzzing after a shoot. I have shot with him once before and once again he was friendly, laid back and a dream to shoot with.

It was nice to have a photographer mention his appreciation for our makeup, nails and hair. Not often do you get a photographer notice and express that.

The shoot flew by and I was so incredibly thrilled with the back of camera images.

I looove the images that he has posted so far!

I highly recommend Mike and really hope we work together again soon!!

I worked with Mike again on my duo tour with Serenity! It was one of my favourite shoots to date. Mike is not only creative, friendly and respectful but he really knows how to take an amazing photo! It was so motivated seeing all the fabulous shots on BOC!

HIGHLY recommended by me! Thank you for an amazing shoot - I really hope we can work together again soon.

I worked with the lovely Mike for the third time, this session was for four hours at NLS.

Mike is a dream to work with, such a fun and bubbly attitude. His photography is excellent and he always has some fab creative ideas. We both have a passion for stunning figure nudes and shapes and he always lights me in a beautiful way - Thankyou.

This time we had the added bonus of some lovely natural light portraits and a quirky mop and bucket theme!

Highly recommend

I had an awesome shoot with Mike at Sandon house. He came prepared with lots of ideas and with the lovely soft light of the studio we created some beautiful images.

The shoot went like a dream, Mike’s composition and knowledge of light, tones and angles are phenomenal. I just adore the images we got together. Our time together flew by, he is incredibly easy to get along with, whilst also being professional, fun and an excellent photographer all the best things. I really do hope I get another chance to work with him again.

Highly recommend!

Thank you for a lovely shoot :)

OMG!!!!! FINALLY GOT TO SHOOT AGAIN WITH THIS EPIC DUDE!!! AND THE CRAZINESS WAS STILL RIFE AS EVER - EVERY LAST GLITTERING UNICORN OF IT!

Mike and I have enjoyed a countless number of shoots over the years, but I think this was arguably our longest wait between shoots! So when available timing just worked out on my recent tour through the Midlands... It’s reasonably safe to say that it was an explosively excitable reunion. :D

Okay, firstly; y’all must understand that Mike is the emperor of the rays casted to Earth by the big ball of fire in the sky. He doesn’t use utilise that light: he GRAPPLES with it to ensure it still understands it’s place in the making of a stupendously sensational picture! Working at the studio of ImageRed where the light that dances through the fabulous windows was plentiful... But changing in intensity literally every bloomin’ millisecond!! Mike just calmly maintained his stance, and raised one eyebrow... Cool as a cucumber like Clint Eastwood in a Western shoot-out and accepted the challenge, not giving in to the ever deviant buckets of sun which tormented and tried him on countless occasions! HE KNOWS HIS STUFF PEOPLE, KK?!?!?

Secondly, I don’t know how he ever expected me to pose with all the darn laughing we were doing! “If ya want a “joyful happy” face Mike, just say! X-D I’m trying to be elegant over here... Do you mind??” HE’S NOTHING SHORT OF A TRUE GENTLEMAN WHO YOU CAN ENJOY A GOOD NATTER AND A GIGGLE WITH AT THE SAME TIME. He’ll take care to compose the shots with perfection and shows a massive amount of authentic passion for his work, but the whole vibe of the shoot never feels too serious or pressured and Mike is substantially conscious of models well-beings; encouraging warm up breaks/tea slurping. His professionalism is flawless, it really is. Genuinely one of the nicest people that a model could hope to work with and takes INSANELY good images too! :D

Always communicates brilliantly and keeps you in the loop with last-minute planning so that you can plan things accordingly with travel or if on a tour.

I will be kicking myself into touch to ensure it is not as long before our next shoot! :P Thank you so much Mike, I’m sure you don’t need me to waffle on any more to get the idea that I throughly lived our latest shoot.

Until next time!!!!!

I had another shoot with Mike just yesterday at my home studio.

Arrived bang on time and came (once again) armed with goodies- olives, feta, kettle crisps, oooh boy! Yum!

We spent a few hours working our way through loads of ideas, genres and got some super pretty shots.

We fitted in loads of chat, lots of snacking on olives and I really enjoyed the shoot!!

Thank you very much Mike, hope to work with you again in 2019 :)

I have my first shoot with Mike yesterday, and I’m absolutely blown away.

The shoot was short notice but this didn’t stop Pre coms being faultless.

Mikey made me feel comfortable from the moment he picked me up from the station and we just clicked there on!

We shot for three hours which absolutely flew by, and we managed to get so many great images.

Thank you for such a great shoot and I look forward to seeing the results and working with you again.

I worked with Mike for the first time today at the NLS. It was a last minute shoot but sorted out quickly, so I knew exactly what to expect. Mike was professional throughout the shoot and had some great ideas but was also open to my contributions. He was easy to get along with and the shoot was relaxed but fun. We got some great shots and I would happily work with him again. Highly recommended to other models :)
