As a former actor, Michael has a keen eye for narrative and a flair for the dramatic. His poppy, energetic portraits combine stunning lighting with wit and story. Plus he possesses an uncanny ability to put even the most famous star at their ease, whether shooting editorial portraits or marketing campaigns.
Recent work has seen Michael shoot Jim Broadbent for 'The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry' (eOne), key art for neurodivergent drama 'A Kind of Spark' (BBC/BYU TV), Charlie Brooker for Netflix on the release of Black Mirror Season 6, Charity Wakefield (The Great) at dawn for Broadleaf Magazine, Rufus Hound and Will Young for new projects, as well as Charlton Athletic footballer Sean Clare.
His project 'Classic Beats on Brixton Streets' won GOLD at The AOP Awards, and he has recently signed to be represented by Daniela and the team at Park Village.
He has a stunning new portfolio from Delta Design, which he would love to meet and show you in person.
