All humanity has a story to tell and Mike has spent 30 years telling those stories through his imagery. From hanging around in the bars of Camden Town with bands in the eighties for the NME, to being on stage with Bowie, or taking tea with Princess Beatrice at Buckingham Palace, Mike always finds himself in the right place and time to capture the image that tells the story. Skills that Mike has brought to his portraits of politicians, business leaders and artists throughout his career. Alongside his current work for some of the worlds leading brands Mike also helps charity and educational projects share their stories.
Since 2015, under his Reminiscences imprint Mike publishes and exhibits long form documentary work featuring his portraits and interviews, most recently with Irish Travellers and WWII Veterans
In his spare time Mike is an enthusiastic amateur barber
