This will be now the 3rd time that I have travelled to Hamburg to shoot with the ever fantastic Mike utilising his superb studio space in the city centre and also his home which is great for various different looks ranging from the epic fitness style shots we did this time to the more edgy and themed styles we have shot before! :D His studio is so well equipped for different sets - I had another studio day there whilst I was over as well as a private day-long booking and everything is where we need it with lights and backdrops, Mike knows his place inside out and can create a terrific setup in no time at all... I was so excited this time to see a brand new set which he had cleverly conjured up - needless to say we absolutely nailed it with masses of stunning images. This time around was a natural light fest as every set we did was utilising the stunning window light coming in from the huge studio windows... we also got the chance to shoot some more video work which is always fun! :D Mike will always carefully compose his shots to add maximum impact and beauty, I've said from the start that he is one of the most artistically aware photographers I know and the effort he goes to in order to get it right in camera is consistently fantabulous time and time again! He knows his stuff!
Once again, I stayed with Mike and Claudia during my time in Germany and got the same delightful hospitality I have always had. A lovely comfortable room and space to do my workout... amazing cooking from Claudia and the usual gold-dust evening shenanigans. It's such good fun coming to stay and it always goes incredibly fast - I barely felt like I had set foot off the plane and I was getting back on again! :D So there's always future visits to wholeheartedly look forward to - meanwhile I simply cannot recommend mike enough. He's such a lovely gent and a truly amazing photographer: no style is too big a challenge and he will work with amazing technical focus to get the best out of each model he shoots with total respect for them every second of a shoot. The same rules apply in that we broke the Guinness World Record for the amount of chattering completed during work hours - world champion multitaskers you see because the image yield was still massive. The shoots are always a good laugh, have prolific bounce and team value... Either Mike or myself will think up and idea and then as a pair the creativity turns it into a stupendous photograph.
Arranging shoots with Mike is always a breath of fresh air too, he has always been patient knowing that I may be travelling/cannot reply to emails straight away but when we book a shoot and get everything organised it is never stressful or email-tennis trying to get things in place... we get it all booked in and look forward to the date, Mike will always give me a detailed brief beforehand to allow me to prep and it's just a nice trip to look forward to with all the tools in place to make brill-tastic results. I have so much respect for Mike and his wife and see them as friends now as well - they go out of their way to make models feel at home and the shoots during my visits top the epic chart every time without fail! :)
Always very highly recommended! Thank you Mike!

Yet another amazing production, studio day and shoot with Keira.
As usual, Keira was just perfect over three full days of hard work.
Every photographer who had the opportunity to work with her at the studio day was hooked by Keira's dedication and her abilities in modelling. We got requests to do another studio day later this year.
While Keira and I tried to cope with the ideas remaining from our last session we already piled up a stack of new ideas that will easily cover two days. Whenever we work together the rapport is there straight from the first second onwards. Time flies by so quickly that we are barely able to do all the sets we planned.
Keira you are an amazing model and I'm sure we will have to arrange several more shootings to get all the pictures we had in mind.
I can't recommend Keira highly enough, she is just amazing.
Thank you for coming to Germany and hopefully see you soon again,
Mike
