“Mike did a half-day photography shoot for ABC Fencing’s new website. The brief was to capture shots of the team, the fleet of fencing vehicles, and some internal shots of the management team. Despite a rather rainy day, Mike did a fabulous job and gave us a library of great shots we are now using across the website and in social media posts. The images have made all the difference and really make ABC Fencing look a very professional outfit. Thanks, Mike!”

What sets Mike apart is the balance he strikes between professionalism and a relaxed, human approach.

His trademark touch of Scottish humour always lands at exactly the right moment, just enough to unlock a natural expression without ever feeling forced.
The result is photography that feels authentic, polished, and full of life. Whether he’s capturing the energy of a large corporate event or the nuance of an individual headshot, Mike consistently delivers images that tell the story you actually want told.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mike Dick Photography to anyone looking for a talented, reliable, and genuinely enjoyable photographer to work with.”

FAQs
-
Sessions vary depending on the brief, but I'm transparent about costs from the first conversation. Full pricing for corporate, personal branding, and events is on my services pages. Happy to talk through what would suit your brief, no obligation.

Capturing your story, authentically.
Most people don’t enjoy having their photo taken. That’s fine, that’s exactly what I work with. My job is to make the whole thing feel easy, so what comes out the other end looks like you at your best, not a version of you performing for a camera.
I spent 15 years as the sole in-house photographer at Columbia Threadneedle Investments, shooting over 140 sessions a year across seven global markets. Before I pick up the camera, I think like a designer, because I need to know how these images will actually be used, whether that’s your website, a LinkedIn profile, a pitch deck, or a conference banner.
The result? Images that do a job. Clear, confident, and genuinely yours.
