“Working with Mike is a dream. He's professional, organised, and so enthusiastic. I look forward to working with him every month!”

— Rachel Bayly, Art Director at Good Food Everyday.

“Mike is everything you want from a food photographer – he’s utterly creative, talented, flexible, enthusiastic and always delivers promptly. His positive can-do attitude is one of the contributing factors in me repeatedly booking him, as is his skill behind the lens and retouching ability. He’s able to turn his hand to any style, and always delivers vibrant imagery.”

— Meike Beck - Lifestyle Cookery Director: Good Housekeeping, Red & Prima. Hearst UK.

“A shoot day with Mike is always an absolute pleasure. He always nails my briefs, and interprets them with added creative flair – never afraid to take an idea and run with it, and never offended when being reigned in due to client expectations. He produces beautiful lit, quality photographs, and tends to work at a great pace. I love working with him especially as he allows me scope to be hands on on-set when art directing and positioning props, it feels like a real team effort. Always upbeat, regularly the shoot entertainer, and is beyond speedy with supplying high res with a keen eye for required retouching. I have worked with Mike for over 10 years now - we have navigated different clients together in that time, collaboratively fulfilling new aesthetic needs. Long may it continue…”

— Joanna Clark, Freelance Art Director currently at Cedar Communications.

“Mike is easily one of the most trusted and skilled photographers I have the pleasure of working with. As an Art director and prop stylist I'm never disappointed in how he takes my initial ideas and makes them into something better than I imagined. He needs very little guidance beyond an initial brief.
One of the most naturally creative photographers I have ever worked with, Mike also has the technical skills to match; paired with the ease on which he shoots people as well as food he is also very diverse and has produced some of my favourite portraits as well as food images.”

— Sarah Birks, Freelance Creative director & Stylist.
