Photography seems to be colorful logic, which dazzles me.

If taking someone's picture steals their soul, what does a self portrait do?

    "Mike is a master of light, and an all around "go-getter". His work never ceases to amaze me, and his style of lighting is hard to beat. His work is consistent and extremely refined."

    "I love checking out Michael's latest work. Whether he's shooting casually from his iPhone or laying down a full shoot with a beautiful girl, I find his work genuinely inspiring: if I was ever to switch from cars to people, his is a style I'd try to emulate.

    I'm really grateful for the info he's shared and even a bit envious of his captivating style for writing shot descriptions. Mine's a bit more stop-start. No, really.

    It's clear Michael builds a great rapport with his models, and he must do it pretty quickly cos it seems there's a new one every week. Nice work if you can get it :)"

    "We've had a few people photograph us as a band... Michael is one of the best. His shots are composed, sharp, vibrant, and beautiful. We are very pleased to have crossed his lense and hope to again in the future.
