Over time, Mike developed a preference for the look of black and white over colour, and natural light and locations over the studio. He grew up shooting Kodak Tri-X film and always enjoyed the way it forced the viewer to look at an image differently – making them concentrate on shape and texture – as opposed to being overwhelmed by the distraction of colour.

Natural light and interesting off beat locations – whether in his landscapes, portraits, or nudes – often involve water, derelict buildings and high contrast, and have all come to be a recognizable part of his signature style.

While some artists might shy away from the difficulties of shooting outdoors or on location, Mike embraces this challenge. He opts for sourcing unique locations with a wow factor and featuring natural light that help achieve a more fashion/ editorial look in his artistic portraits, nudes, or landscapes.

While Mike is available for commission or hire, he is first and foremost an artistic photographer and it gives him his greatest creative outlet. It inspires him to do more, push the envelope. He feels that this directly translates into producing unique, highly personalized, and creative images for his clients and generally in his art.

All work here, unless otherwise noted, was shot with a Canon DSLR.
