I have worked alongside Michael on a few shoots now and the speed at which his work has improved has been astounding.

He is dedicated to keep improving whilst being very passionate about model comfort and levels.

Michael is very humble, and at times, he doubts his own work, but there is absolutely no justification in this. He is very quickly establishing himself to be someone that others will look upon in awe and someone who will inspire others images.

When we have worked together, we have individual ideas and help each other to tweak our own concepts, and the results definately benefit.

It is great to have someone who we can bounce critique with, knowing that comments are taken in a positive manner.

I think we are likely to work together again and again.

I had another wonderful shoot with Micheal.

He is very organised and knows exactly what he is looking for, knowsing exactly how to execute to make every image outstanding! He is very good at giving direction and has a very creative eye.

Throughout the day our ideas bounced of each other and every creative idea he had, was exactly what I had pictured.

I could shoot with this man anyway of the week, not only has he become a good friend but we see eye to eye on every creative element.

Not only that, we had an outdoors shoot which he came well prepared. Giving me the royalty treatment throughout the day, coming well equipped with a blanket, snacks, equipment and positive energy!

I would HIGHLY recommend working with Micheal and I guarantee you shall not be disappointed!

First shoot today with Michael, what a brilliant photographer. Super accommodating with his home studio and really respectful of my levels. Really really lovely guy, and even fed me when I turned up on an empty stomach!

So excited to see the finished images as the raw images look amazing on the camera.

Would recommend to everyone without a doubt :)x

What an amazing shoot we had together! He is so lovely, easy to chat to, very professional & extremely kind! He offered me cups of tea, chocolate etc & he knows exactly what he’s doing when it comes to being behind the camera. I’m amazed at how fantastic the shots we got today & were so happy! He is extremely great at what he does, amazing portfolio too! Get yourself booked with him!!

Lovely photographer, had a great first shoot with him. He also did a great job at making sure I was comfortable throughout the shoot, respecting the shoot levels I set, as well as providing chocolate and snacks during the breaks :) he was very kind and showed passion in his work, and I can see that even more in the edited photos he's been sending me, in good time too.

I would highly recommend Michael.

He is a really friendly guy (and fellow happy hardcore head lol) and we managed to get loads of cool shots together.

He had no qualms about giving me advice regarding my posture which was very valuable, so I feel like I didn't just take away good photographs from the shoot, but also helpful modelling tips.

Hopefully we can collaborate again in the future :)

What a guy!

Had a BMX shoot at the local skatepark. Turned up on time and had loads of ideas. Pushed me just far enough to get the perfect shots without getting hurt and so much fun to be around.

Would defiantly recommend.

I had the pleasure of working with Micheal for the first time a couple of weeks back.

Not only was he great company and easy to work with, but his photography skills are astounding!

I loved every minute of this shoot and had lots of fun in the process... we also got some damn good photos to show for it!

Looking forward to our next shoot!

I had the pleasure of collaborating yesterday with this brilliant minded photographer his imagination holds no bounds. We worked together with the skills of nagris mua and hair dresser on an elements shoot if your not farmiliar thats Fire, Earth, Water and Air.

Every look was excuted well and we nailed each shot with ease and moved onto the next it was a super hot day but we had shade and jaffa cakes which I ate most off. A mixture of chatting and Michael dying of laughter at my pvc it was a very fun day and I highly recommend him.

Thank you kindly for an amazing shoot :D

I was invited to join Michael in a conceptual "Viking Fire" themed shoot as a second photographer.

This guy puts in 1000% effort in planning and execution.

He coordinated three models plus a makeup artistry and myself.

He found a great secluded location, created detailed moodboards, and put across suggestions for outfits etc.

On the evening he guided us to an area already selected for the shoot. He provided a private area for changing/ bodypaint. He also brought warm blankets, hot drinks and even jaffa cakes :D

A difficulty concept to pull off, but I think he achieved it well.

It is refreshing to find a fairly new photographer that is more interested in concept and execution, rather than the masses that just want to see boobs and buns.

Models... if you want someone who will give your shoot individuality then give him a shout.

If every shoot shows the dedication I witnessed in this one, then I expect models to be queuing to work with you.

Mike came as chaperone to his daughter, but was extremely helpful both in assisting with lighting and also by helping with concepts.

He has ambitious concepts and I am in fact looking forward to collaborating on a shoot in the very near future.

Not a point and shoot type guy - gives real thought to what he wants to achieve before shooting and gives clear detailed pre-coms.
