About Mike

I strongly believe in the saying 'a picture is worth a thousand words'.

For the past two decades my images have been used to illustrate news, events and features for newspapers, magazines and websites across the Midlands. Being Chief Photographer for several Johnston Press newspapers honed my photographic skills and specialised industry knowledge while allowing me to adapt to the changing media landscape.

As well as providing striking photographs for news and PR, I am a fully trained videographer, able to shoot and edit professional standard video packages. This combination of photographic and video skills allow me to provide the complete solution for my clients - top quality images and video for print and digital media. Whether it's breaking news, public relations, event photography, corporate work or videography, I am able to provide the best possible images to meet your needs and give maximum exposure.

Don’t just take my word for it though, here are some short testimonials:

“I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Mike for 15 years and he is without question the best photographer I’ve worked with. Whether it’s carefully planned and choreographed images or candid ‘in the moment’ shots Mike’s natural ability and professional attitude means he delivers results others simply can’t.”

Louie Hadley - Director, Orion PR

"We have worked with Mike for several years. To say he’s reliable and a safe pair of hands sounds a bit dull – but he is! He’ll take a brief and will produce creative, good quality shots, in different layouts, quickly. If we are unable to attend an event, we can trust him to turn up – on his own – and do a great job. He thinks on his feet, produces great work at a very competitive price. We would recommend him."

Katherine Lapworth - Communications Officer, Orbit Group - Futures

"I have known Mike for a number of years, during which time he has always produced high quality photographs for the papers I have worked for. Equally as important, he has always been very accommodating and flexible in his work, which has helped journalists during deadlines when a big story is breaking. He is also courteous and popular with the general public and reporters, which is very important for us as he is often the 'front line' for the newspaper when it comes to meeting people. He has an extensive knowledge in all aspects of photography and comes highly recommended by many journalists, including this one."
