mike@firstsightimages.co. uk's photostream

Professional photographer and freelance writer based in Hertfordshire, UK. Available for commisions large or small and with a growing portfolio of stock images. Working together with my partner Sarah we are able to cover virtually all aspects of photography. Travel is not a problem.

Having two heads, two different eyes and two complimentary styles means our clients get a wider range of images to choose from.

Along with our photography we both work as freelance journalists and are available for editorial, review and advertorial work.
