I have been taking photographs for the past 15 years but have only being doing it seriously for the last 9 years. I'm a semi-pro photographer as I have a full-time job aswell as my photography. I am looking to go full-time professional in the next couple of years though, once I have built up an outstanding portfolio and a large enough client base.
I specialise in model photography, building portfolios, headshots etc, the majority of my work is done in a studio but I am now branching out to location work. My inspiration comes from everywhere, I do aspire to photographers like Rich Cutrone, Rolando Gomez and Andy Lesauvage though.
I am professional, down to earth, laid back guy who is always fun. The models needs are always first on my shoot as is the models safety.
Looking For:
I am interested in any kind of shoot opportunity, Studio or Location, Fashion, Glamour, Nude, I'm very experienced in all.
Ideally I'm looking for great models that, working together, could enhance both our portfolios. This would be for our mutual benefit so there would be no monies exchanged.
I am, of course always looking out for paid work which I will greatly receive.
About Me:
During the day I am a Lighting Designer in the theatre industry, lighting musicals and plays, this has a major advantage for my photography due to my lighting skills. In my spare time I fly (I hold a pilots license), I love travelling, especially around America, and diving, and of course, helping out models looking to get a great starter portfolio. I do this for no charge, in return I get a bit of practice trying new techniques.
''Mike has worked with some top names in the modelling industry including Naomi K, Simone Linsell, and Lauren Pope. Mike has always shown a professional attitude and produces great images, and I would definately recommend him to any models in the London area looking to get some new shots done for their portfolios.''
