My approach
Combining a documentary eye with commercial savvy, I focus on authenticity meets polish: Natural expressions in headshots, dynamic team interactions, and products shown in their best light.
Tailored to your brand: Colours, lighting, and compositions align with your existing visual identity.
Detail-driven storytelling: From the texture of a product to the energy of a workspace, every element matters.
Efficiency: Minimal disruption to your workflow, flexible scheduling for busy teams.

Not only is he a pleasure to work with, but his photography, and his photographer’s eye, are outstanding. His attention to the finest details and his creativity are always at the forefront of his work. I couldn’t recommend Mike highly enough.”

Nook coffee shop, Markyate, Hertfordshire
When Helen Renvoize was preparing to launch Nook in Markyate, she needed images that would communicate everything her coffee shop was about – the warmth, the character, and the people behind it. One morning on location delivered everything she needed for the website, social media and press.

“We recently had the pleasure of working with Mike, and the results were nothing short of phenomenal. His talent and professionalism shone through every step of the process, from understanding our vision to delivering breathtaking photos that truly captured the heart and soul of our coffee shop.
Each shot was thoughtfully composed, highlighting the warmth of our space, the details in our design, and the personality that makes our shop special. The lighting, angles, and overall aesthetic were spot-on, elevating our brand and giving us content we’re genuinely proud to share.
If you’re looking for a photographer who combines technical skill with an amazing eye for detail, look no further. Mike exceeded our expectations in every way. Highly recommend!”
