Mike Ellis loves shooting people, whether in the studio or on location. His relaxed approach is designed to put the subject at ease for natural and engaging portraits or stories captured in a candid reportage style in their own environments.

His work over the last 20 years has spanned the editorial, corporate and advertising fields both in the UK and internationally, working with clients large and small.

Mike's recent clients include the BritishHeartFoundation, EDFEnergy, EuropeanBank, Hotel Chocolat, ICAP, KingstonNHS Trust, M&S, Psion, RNIB, NationalGrid, TomTom, PriceWaterhouseCoopers and The Universityof Westminster.

His outlook is that hard work and fun should not be mutually exclusive, and that "a keen eye for detail helps the recipe along."
