Michael Wharley
London - photographers
Originally from an acting background, Michael has keen eye for story and a flair for the dramatic. His poppy, energetic portraits combine stunning lighting with narrative and humour - and he's adept at directing, be it a Hollywood star for key art or a more normal person for an editorial shoot.
Recent work has taken Michael out on the moors with Emma Mackey in 'Emily' (Warner Brothers), to Arendelle for 'Frozen' (Disney) and to a very much more blushingly-real place with the ladies of BBC Sounds podcast 'Brown Girls Do it Too'.
His project 'Classic Beats on Brixton Streets' won GOLD at The AOP Awards 2022, and his campaign for Unfortunate won the Spotlight Awards Advertising Category.
He also has a stunning new portfolio from Delta Design. He'd love to meet and show you the book in person.
